How would you guarantee that the voter at home was an uncoerced. legitimate voter ? That's a straight question. I'm curious. Mumble, mumble, blockchains. Handwave, handwave, NFTs....

This, from the people who brought us IRS' 60s-era IT systems. Get with the program. Naysayers. If by "current circumstances" you mean "Democrats' need to cheat", I guess you could be right but that's what I would like to leave behind. >> How would you guarantee that the voter at home was an uncoerced. legitimate voter ? Well, duh. The same way I guarantee the safety of my money every time I want to buy or sell something, transfer money between banks, pay my Amexp bill, or everything else. I have choices, and for some I choose a simple but secure password. For others I use the facial recognition or other biometrics app. Whatever. No matter what you do it is safer than having people in 800 storefronts paid for by Zuckerberg going in and having their votes harvested by extreme leftists who are there for that purpose. >> This morning I happened upon into a report of a guy in a focus group saying the very same thing. The response was a collective derision at his utter obliviousness of privilege. You, as a lifetime employee on the taxpayers' dole, are the picture of privilege. Sorry, that's just a fact. I've never had two weeks of paid vacation, or even two weeks off in my life. I work every fucking day. It is a lifestyle choice, for sure -- but it is not borne of privilege. I've never taken a nickel from government until they forced it on me in the Covid era. You are more the picture of privilege than pretty much anyone I know. Well, except for other post office workers, other government employees, teachers, and union members, generally. These are people of privilege. Don't know what it is to do an honest day's work.
