@PhilipTheBucket So now we’ve had a couple of these rather amateurish ballot fraud attempts that have been quickly caught and addressed. One has to wonder if this isn’t a concerted effort to further cast doubts on mail ballots. There isn’t enough volume to likely affect election results, but the attempts are making the news and giving republicans talking points.
Don't doubt.
"As long as we have mail in ballots, a little voter fraud is totally acceptable!"
@Awesomo85 Rephrase: “As long as we have voting, a little voter fraud is acceptable”. Obviously voter fraud is NOT acceptable, but any system that covers 200 million or so potential voters cannot be completely foolproof. Like security systems, the goal is to have so many different safeguards that the number of violations becomes vanishingly small. The fruitless efforts to find any widespread voter fraud to date indicate that we have been successful.
And to add, our last couple elections have been the most secure, with the least voter fraud in history.
"Unless the system is entirely perfect and without defects we can't make reasonable concessions to make voting easier."
Imagine getting banned for calling a lying fascist a dick waffle or whatever
Mods are an occupying force on Lemmy, resist your rulers
Or something idk no ban pls
Not sure if you're replying to the right comment? I don't think I've been banned, or am I the fascist in this situation?
You were showing as banned yesterday. I'd check the modlogs, you might have been the center of a modfight.
That's always fun.
Oh shit, I had no idea. Honestly I feel like everything I said was reasonably tame, especially for the internet, and even more so considering who it was directed at.
But this is DEMOCRACY on the line!! There is LITERALLY NOTHING ON THE PLANET MORE IMPORTANT (© internet people)!!!!
And if there is ANY doubt about the system, then it absolutely does disenfranchise voters! And that is THE ULTIMATE SIN (© internet people)!!!!!!!
I'm just trying to follow the infallible logic of the internet collective here.
Man, I was going to address your comment but I took a quick look at your post history and decided it wasn't worth the effort.
Please fuck off.
Oh no, please sir! You are obviously my intellectual superior! I need your input sir! Please!! Please impart on me your God like wisdom!!
I did, I asked you to fuck off. Anything else is 5 cents a word.
Oof. Is that all your English major pays these days?
Should have gone for a STEM degree. I assure you, it pays WAY more than what you are currently making.
