2024 U.S. Presidential Election Thread: Donald Trump wins & will return to the White House; GOP wins U.S. Senate & U.S. House

[Reality Check]

This really isn't as hard as you're making it. It's the 8PM cutoff that's the problem. They're saying all absentee votes need to be counted by 8PM. Those are usually the last to be counted, as day of/walk up votes take priority. Additionally, if they count ALL mail in ballots as absentee, that obviously poses a problem.

States really need to amend the laws so they can count absentee/mail in ballots as they come in vs. waiting to do so until election day. Think Michigan and Pennsylvania don't allow for the counting of absentees until the start of election day.

Biden can't sit on his ass 6 months bashing reporters, protestors, etc until it's apparent it hurts him politically and do an about face. He's gutless. Fukk him and fukk you. If he loses it's his own fault not mine. Almost everyone had no problem with Israel going after Hamas. It was when Israel bombed hospitals, safe zones, killed reporters, raped kids and prisoner , bombed schools and refugee camps along with calling Palestinians dogs. That's what we had problems with. Actions have consequences and if it leads to another Trump presidency we'll this won't be what caused it. Trump should be in prison right now but Merrick the Meek made sure to prevent that

i respect the fact that you're voting for donald trump it's an interesting choice, but that's why we live in a democracy. hopefully my vote offsets yours

if the far left doesn't appreciate what biden just did, announcing he's cutting off aid to israel, then trying to appease them is no longer politically viable i hope he says fukk them, and pivots back to the center

it's a terrible idea to lose swing voters over these impossible to please, childish leftists. not crediting biden for stopping weapons to israel is insane, and proof that they're unserious people who dont even know what they want

They were never voting for him in the first place and never will they will still whine about this and say it’s too late

They want him to lose regardless because they think it will prove that you need a progressive to run to win which we know is bullsh1t

well, wait until trump starts talking about how it's gonna bring down gas prices in october. and we'll see how it's received by voters, compared to biden's awful "just go buy an electric car" messaging that i've been warning about

A lot of voters are stupid and will fall for that talking point. Long term its a terrible strategy from both a climate change and economic perspective. We'll just be handing the reins of technological progress to China. The rest of the world will be riding around in cheap and good quality EV's while we'll be stuck in the past. The world is changing and conservatives need to get with the program or risk putting the US behind.

this is a bunch of bullshyt. america is not "left behind" by not using EVs. if you don't like the effect on the climate, fine, but that's different

and no, it's not really stupid to vote for a guy who wants to lower your gas prices, if gas prices affect your pocketbook. last time i checked, that's how politics works. or did biden or obama accomplish everything they said they'd work towards?

No one cares about your vote. You live in Tennessee. That's why you're acting out so much.

Bingo.

then what the fukk was it like before you're arguing for something that doesnt exist, as if GA is changing it

There wasn't a cutoff previously. Again, they're not just talking about receiving votes, they're taking about putting a hard cutoff on when they'll count absentee ballots they already have in hand.

So, before, Georgia would take however long it took to count absentee and mail-in ballots. And since they ALSO changed rules so that those votes couldn't start being counted until election day, it lead to a disproportionate amount of votes for Biden coming in overnight, since in person day of votes were counted first. That's where all the "Stop the count" bullshyt came from.

So now, with this rule, combined with the fact that they still can't start counting your vote until election, AND there will be less machines available, and the play is nakedly obvious.

breh...they're saying absentee ballots have to be RECEIVED by election day again; that is not a problem

you really want the democrats to go out and say "uh, no, mail in ballots shouldnt have to be received by election day, fukk any kind of timeline"? we have enough on our plate just expanding access to mail in ballots, without making a stupid argument like that

no one is saying "yeah, no, we're just not gonna count these mail in ballots we've already received on time". what the fukk are you talking about? there's far too many people watching for that

Maybe reading it again, but slower will help you.

It says COUNTED. I'm sure you understand what "counted" means in this situation, yes?

Unless we all got got by another satire account, the bolded from your post is actually possible.

The bill also requires counties to report the results of all absentee ballots by an hour after polls close. It also lets counties use paper ballots in elections in which fewer than 5,000 people are registered, though that change will not take effect until 2025.

i think you've gotten to the heart of it

most of the bozos in that thread, like @AquaCityBoy and @Robbie3000 , when you get down to it, can't explain why they actually want donald trump to win, over palestine. they won't say it out loud. but that makes perfect sense

I'm not voting for either. I may write in you or nap I haven't decided yet.

if anything, biden's pride cost him the election when he decided to run as an 82 year old

he almost has to say this. "you know what? i inherited a disaster, inflation happened worldwide because of covid, and electing this fukking clown instead of me is not going to bring down the price of anything". because really, there's nothing else he can say
