Both the Cali case and Wisconsin case less than 2% of the vote was affected. While altogether an issue, I will concede, mail-in voting also greatly increases turn out. Meaning that a higher percentage of people vote, which will have a cushioning effect on that 2%.
 
Those issues can also be easily nullified by lengthening the deadline, providing more training and public information for how to fill out, cast, and count the ballots, and loosening the restrictions around who can cast said ballots. All the government has to do is put in the effort to make it more clear, easy, and simple. Problem solved.

A friend of mine flipped over his reaction to the Chinese concentration camps. I didn’t get it, but I was still glad.
 
Wonder what Magpul’s would be? Something to do with guns?

He didn’t do anything with Ebola. Never even stopped air travel when it was suggested. We can thank CDC and the work of our Biotech divisions for taking control of that potential disaster.

You mean the virus that can only be spread through direct fluid to fluid contact and poses absolutely 0 pandemic risk to developed nations with proper water treatment and sanitation facilities? That Ebola?
 
Do you know who did take an airborne viral pandemic seriously? Biden, in 2009.
 
“Listen, we need to be aggressive early on this,’” Biden announced, according to Brennan.
 
The next week, Biden made good on his pledge — and set off a deluge of criticism. In an interview on NBC’s “Today,” Biden said he wouldn’t advise his family to fly on planes or ride the subway.”
 
“I wouldn’t go anywhere in confined places right now,” Biden said. “It’s not that it’s going to Mexico, it’s that you are in a confined aircraft. When one person sneezes, it goes everywhere through the aircraft.”

That too, so I don’t see how what Obama did (and didn’t do) with ebola is at all comparable to the Rona. And maybe Biden’s brain hadn’t fully melted back then, but he didn’t seem to take the coronavirus as seriously early on like he did back then with H1N1.

Except for our unnecessary military power, what makes us the greatest?
 
Reminds me of the opening scene from The Newsroom (relevant bit starts at 3:07 if you’re impatient). It’s eight years old, but still more on point today than ever.
 
Particularly that quote: “We lead the world in only three categories: number of incarcerated citizens per capita, number of adults who believe angels are real, and defense spending, where we spend more than the next 26 countries combined, 25 of whom are allies.”

A scene from a TV show that isn’t fully accurate in the first place and has been broken down by people in the past. Plus you know how I feel about defense spending. Even so, Newsroom was a good show.

I’m well aware of your little stats and the differences, but considering the lack of enthusiasm around creepy Joe, his lackluster viewership compared to Trump, and the fact that he sticks his foot in his mouth every time he steps in front of a camera, I still have zero interest or trust in your, or anyone elses poll numbers during this election. The way I see it, whatever happens will happen, but I don’t trust polls anymore.
