    It sure does, but nobody has been so far down for so long and come back to win.... so I guess we'll see. I'm not crazy enough to put a bet on it.

    Yup. 2016 all over again.

    Hahaha.

    You know, the media is trying so hard to kill Trump's campaign that I am wondering if they will make it this time.

    But then you talk to people and realize people is getting so burnt by all the cultural wars while the media does not report on
    this.

    In any case it looks like there is no way the comming election is going to be clean so actual polls don't matter, the winner
    is going to be challenged by the loser before the ballots are counted. Both parties are preparing the field, seeding doubt the
    other is going to play fair in the ellection - aka accusations of electoral fraud and such.

    Well, Trump weas behind in 2016, byt what, 4 points in the polls?

    He seems to be down by 10 to 17 points this time, depending on the poll.

    So, no, not except for 2016.

    Well, that's making a lot of assumptions. If the election is as close as the last one, and if the winner of the popular vote DOESN'T win the electorial vote, then yes there will be challenges in court. But I really don't think we're going to see a doomsday scenario. I think we'll see a big wipeout by one or the other.

    I don't think both parties are "seeding doubt." One party is trying to make the entire system look unfair, broken, and corrupt. The other is trying to make it as easy as possible for everyone to vote. What kind of democracy are we running if the entire foundation of a winning strategy is to argue that the process is corrupt and to repress the ability of people to vote?

    Polls are BS. They probably go to some liberal city or college and ask 300 people what they think and then multiply the results by a million. Then they publish their BS results and hope people assume voting for the competition is a lost cause and stay home and not vote. The only way Trump looses this election is if the dems cheat like they always do. Throw other peoples ballots in the trash, send in a ballot on behalf of their dead grandma, have their dog send in a ballot, then send in 50 of their own ballots. We really need to get with the times and do online voting. If we can bank online and file our taxes online we can vote securely online. Every social security number gets one vote. No more cheating and it'll be much more transparent.

    Well if the system happens to be corrupt, a strategy built on arguing the system is corrupt is totally legit...

    Honestly, if you compare how US States handle vote by mail against how a place like Spain does it, US methods have a stoneage vibe.

    And Spain sucks, so that is saying something.

    Not saying fraud is rampant, but the whole system is so brittle that it is easy to cast reasonable doubt in my opinion. Just the same way lots of left-wing groups are arguin that Trump is not going to step off the throne no matter the results and plans to perform a self-coup if he loses.

    Yeah, polls sort of suck :-) But they usually show trends so they are not totally worthless. Worst case they have popcorn value.

    I am not sure a purely electronic voting system is the way to go. Government IT here is awful so maybe I am biased.


    In Spain we go with paper ballots. Each voting table has a list of the people authorized to vote in it. When a voter arrives, he shows ID, gets crossed off the lists and casts his vote.

    Then we have mail voting. Essentially, you have to move to a valid office, ID yourself and ask for the ballot kit. They give you the ballot kit in the office. You fill the ballots or whatever, put them in a tamper resistant envelope and deliver it via any postal service you like.

    The mail votes are thrown into the voting box after verifying the envelope belongs to somebody authorized to vote in that table (that hasn't voted already), they are mixed up and then the whole voting box is counted. There are usually representatives of most parties at the tables so the chances of things going awry at this point are low.

    well whats going to happen is democrats are going to do the ballots for the people they know who wont go through the trouble of voting. they will request the mail in ballots, give them to the person and get them to sign and then mail it for them.

    there's a very good chance biden will win. people are weak and stupid.

    well i had to:

    + confirm that i lived at my address for x amount of time and i was not moving.

    + then i uploaded my ID to the website.

    + they mailed me my ballot with a prepaid envelope.

    + i had a witness review my ballot to see nothing was filled out, then they signed and gave their address on the ballot.

    + i filled out my ballot and mailed it.

    i have a way to track it by using my name and birthdate.


    so is that much different than how spain does it? i read a little bit on it and they seem almost identical.

    Trump is far from perfect but I think he has done a decent job with what he has had to work with. I couldn't bring myself to vote for him the first time and voted 3rd party but I will be voting for him this time. The BS charges and impeachment proceeding was a disgrace. How anyone in their right mind can support Pelosi, Schumer and Biden is beyond me. Get rid of these useless, do nothing, croocked, career politicians and bring in some new blood and maybe we can get somewhere in this country.

    I have little doubt that the "establishment" will consider cheating, or
    cheat. People don't realise how crooked the people who consider
    themselves our rulers and leaders are.

    If I were a Trump supporter, I would have every right to cast a high
    degree of suspicion on the process. After all, the USA is a country
    which let of the GFC criminals scot free.

    I think the main reason some people is going to endorse Biden is because he isn't Trump.

    Quite frankly, the core of the dems campaign is centered around how bad Trump was much more than around how great Biden is. Which I guess is not a very bad strategy, because Trump himself is controversial enough to lay bad claims against him every day :-)

    But on the other hand it looks like this elections are about Trump vs media conglomerates and activist orgs with shady fundraising, which to me suggests - tin foil hat coming - that Trump got pissed some people with deep pockets and than these are driving the war on Trump much more than traditional democrats.

    I agree with you 100 percent. I didn't vote for Trump either. I didn't think my countryman were as pissed off as I was. I also felt Trump didn't fit the bill as a Politician because he didn't talk like a politician. Then when I saw the Dems and my own State Senator try and tear the man down with bullshit I relized we had a long way to go before we can clear out politicans like Shumer and Pelosi. Voting for Biden will only help them stick around longer and that is intolerable to me!

    This is a dangerous and ignortant way to vote for a President. Voting against them because you don't like them. Biden has been a politician his entire life. He changes his mind like the wind. What he tells the crowds in Ohio is different then what he says in California. We need to wake up these politicians and send the message we're not taking this crap anymore!

Then when I saw the Dems and my own State Senator try and tear the man down with bullshit I relized we had a long way to go before we can clear out politicans like Shumer and Pelosi. Voting for Biden will only help them stick around longer and that is intolerable to me!

    2016 was Washington Insider vs Outsider... and that's still much the
    same... I think many of Trump's biggest mistakes are actually bringing
    in and taking advice from Washinton insiders.

    I didn't vote for him in 2016, but given how tight the race is in AZ,
    I'm voting for him this time. I just don't like career politicians as a
    rule, let alone Biden specifically.

    I don't think both parties are "seeding doubt." One party is trying to make th
    entire system look unfair, broken, and corrupt. The other is trying to make it
    as easy as possible for everyone to vote. What kind of democracy are we runnin
    g if the entire foundation of a winning strategy is to argue that the process i
    corrupt and to repress the ability of people to vote?

    Several years back, your so called "make it as easy as possible for
    everyone to vote" party wanted votes recounted in several Florida precincts where there were high minority populations... so long as those minorities
    were not Cubans and were not members of the US armed forces. So much for
    not repressing the ability of some people to vote.

    That was 20 years ago but, no, I do not believe they have changed one bit
    for the better since then. They argued it was corrupt then just like they argued it was corrupt in 2016 and just like they will this year if they
    don't win.

    well whats going to happen is democrats are going to do the ballots for the peo
    le they know who wont go through the trouble of voting. they will request the m
    il in ballots, give them to the person and get them to sign and then mail it fo
    them.

    I have been receiving texts from a couple of the local democratic
    campaigns. They are addressed to first names which are not mine, but all
    of them offer to help me with filling out my absentee ballot and helping me
    get it turned in.

    My state does not allow for sending a ballot to everyone who is registered.
    They have to request it. I think they were hoping to blind text people (I know someone who volunteers to do this, and they verified the texts are
    blind) and get them to request a ballot when maybe they were not planning
    to vote.

    I cannot fathom how they can even say otherwise with a straight face, but
    yet they do.

    they didnt even attempt to come up with a proper presidential candidate.

    Also true. If he does not make it 4 years, their VP candidate is even
    worse. At least if Trump does not make it 4 years, his VP candidate is at least competent.

    really pathetic.

    I work for an election services company, and cannot comment on any

    from State to State and/or county to county and may be fairly different between them, in most states, election tabulation happens and is managed
    at the County level. Sometimes systems are paid for and made consistent
    by the State, sometimes not.

    I'm a bit more familiar with petitions themselves and even there,
    there's a surprising amount of variance in terms of what is required or allowed.

    Well someone should! I don't see what the problem is. Setup accounts at the IRS and add a voting form to it. Users can DL it and mail it but submiting it right there would be better. We submit our taxes that way. What's the problem? Someone going to "hack" my passord? That's it? So if more then 1 vote is submitted under the same account just void that vote.

    The fact the votes can be kept secret is extremely important. Specially in areas where you have actual terrorism going on. It was not long ago that you were as good as dead in some areas of Spain if it became known you were voting for the wrong party...

    Passwords suck for critical applications. Electronic certificates are much more reliable, which is why Spanish agencies use them instead. The drawback is they are more complex to use and ultimately out of reach of a big chunk of the population.

    Well, that's the first issue... Registrations and elections are managed
    by the individual States and Counties themselves and requirements vary
    from State and County. Some normalized by the State, others not.

    I can't get into the details, but there wouldn't be a password involved
    at all.

    The voting day is separated from the results day, again each
    state/county will vary on their specific rules regarding timing. With
    the number of provisional/absentee/mail-in ballots, it will likely be a
    week or two before the final numbers are in nationally.

    Some states can't even start counting until election day, and there's a
    lot of false negatives for electronic signature matching, which means
    manual verification which can take longer. That doesn't even cover when
    a ballot is torn (common for mail) and needs a re-print attached for tally.

    Speculation is really all one can do, and in general exit polling has
    been relatively good and rarely has provisional/mail-in balloting caused
    a large shift... this election could be interresting. There will also
    be a *lot* of additional scrutiny and eyes all around. No matter what
    happens, I'm guessing around 15-20% of the population won't believe the result.

    Well, most of the Democrat party leadership is largely the same as it

    been a lot of upstart influence, but the party itself is actively trying

    They're both doing it to some extent. The fact is, there are some areas
    with a lot of active corruption, others less so, and many people on all
    sides trying to keep it straight.

    As to "voter suppression" realistically that isn't happening. In most
    states there are early ballot stations and people will be able to vote
    in person. As to the provisioning and custody chains of mail-in
    ballots, there's been a lot of fishy things happening, and about 3/4 of
    it is in Dem controlled regions.

    With mail in ballots, your envelop and ballot are tied together... once received as a pair they are separated and the ballot itself is counted separately. For purposes of an online voting system, it would be
    something similar.

    Note: different states/counties will have different rules in place.

    That only *really* counts for in-person voting, and realistically only

    For an online system it wouldn't be reliant on passwords, or electronic certificates or device issuance. Mostly because such orchestration
    itself would be difficult for states and counties to manage and because
    it would be open to "disenfranchising"... if you have a cert on your
    phone, and you broke your phone election day? etc, etc.

    The people that run and work in election offices are generally a healthy combination of paranoid and wanting every eligible voter to be able to
    do so.

    al years back." In fact what is the point of even comparing what either party

    .

    I already said why. I do not believe the DNC has changed that much since
    2000. Hell, they are running someone for President that ran for their nomination in *1988*. He hasn't changed a bit, except getting older and
    maybe starting into dementia.

    He lied about his education back then, and has told at least part of that
    lie during this campaign. The press in 1988 fact checked him and he had to drop out of the nomination race. The only person to fact check him on it
    this time was Trump.

    If he is telling the same lies from 32 years ago he hasn't changed much. Considering their last 2 candidates were warmed over from "back then," I
    don't think the DNC has changed at all since "back then."

    I don't think "they" will use the word corrupt. "They" will use the word "vote
    suppression" which is what the GOP is engaged in. Undermining faith in the el
    ction is the strategy of the GOP right now, which when you think about it, is j
    st about as anti-American as you can get - quite interesting coming from the fl
    g-waving nationalists of the GOP.

    The only votes I know of that the GOP is actively attempting to suppress
    would be those that are not legally cast. There have been issues regarding
    the mail in ballots, not getting to voters or not getting back. Best thing to do, as Trump has claimed, is to vote EARLY, and IN PERSON like you always would. No suppression there.

    i'm in a major city and i've never been polled. i could use a good
    polling. or maybe i can poll someone and they poll me back


    All over the Internet. On various news sites. We'll find out in what, two weeks, hopefully.

    December can't come soon enough. I'm not naive enough to think this will be over on November 4th...

    I lived in Phoenix for 26 years and no one every asked me.

    I got at least 10 "poll" calls during the 2016 election to my landline. Shortly there-after I decided it would be a great idea to hook the thing up to a modem and use it for dialup. I haven't had to deal with a political call or a telemarketer disturbing me via my land-line, since!

    My cell phone though... Jesus fuck, I must get 5-10 text messages a day from political organizations, and I have no idea how they got my number. And only 10% of them get my name right.

    Today's text message:
    Hello Vladestav, This is Mary with........


    Often times I get text messages meant for some Doctor in Milwaukee. I also get e-mails for him. I've been able to sign into accounts with my g-mail address (which I've had since you had to be invited to the G-mail beta), under his name. He's quite politically active. He's never replied to any of my e-mails or facebook messages as to why this would be happening. I've been debating over giving him a call. It's been going on for over a decade at this point.

    I've had the same cell phone number for the better part of 2 decades, now.

    I've got a proposal in the works for a system for doing online voting that would actually be at least as, or more secure than the absentee/mail-in ballots. Cannot speak to specifics until/unless a

    Well someone should! I don't see what the problem is. Setup accounts at the IRS and add a voting form to it. Users can DL it and mail it but submiting it right there would be better. We submit our taxes that way.


    I can't get into the details, but there wouldn't be a password involved
    at all.

    I hope you have the right contacts to at least have someone look at your proposal. This country needs to do something about it's election system. I think we're in for another fiasco like we had with Gore/Bush. I also think it's ironic we may have a new judge added to the supreme court which could possibly decide the outcome of this years election. Just like Bush/Gore in 2000.

    I work for an election services company, and have the proposal and a few technical details in the works, but given how busy things will be
    through January for us, it likely won't even be looked at until then.

    Aside: I've been thinking of leaving for a position that makes more, but haven't decided on anything yet.

    My guess is the person I addressed that to would be all upset if it was
    Trump lying about his education. Since it is his guy he is ok with it.

    For those running behind, the lies he told in 1988 (and some again now) are:

    -- He was at the top of his class in law school (he was near the bottom,
    not just "nearer" but below nearly all of the class);
    -- He got top marks in a particular Political Science course (he got an F);
    -- He attended an historically black college (there was no record of this)

    CBS and others called him out about it in 1988 and he had to walk it back
    and then drop out of the race. To my knowledge, he has done no walk back
    of any recent retold lies about his education.

    That's assuming he's aware enough to remember the difference.

    Biden said several times he would ban fracking, now he says he never said that.

    He seems to be down by 10 to 17 points this time, depending on the poll.
    So, no, not except for 2016.

    Additionally, the turn out is already setting records in some states. And many of these folks that are voting this time around were non voters in 2016. I think this will be a land slide. But with gerymandering, voter suppression and electoral college, who knows.

    Gerymandering has nothing to do with Presidential elections, while voter suppression is a leftist dog-whistle that usually really means people who
    do not follow even the most simple directions.
