    @George-K said in Hmm, that’s interesting…:

    Seeing several of these trends.

    The Rajin' Cajun says that the Democrat's message (abortion) isn't resonating at the kitchen table. Gas prices, food prices, 401K's are.

    "It's the economy, stupid."

    Hell, even one poll says Pennsylvania is a toss-up.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but Oz has been hammering the crime issue. It seems to be resonating.

          This could get interesting. Mail in ballots have to be dated by the submitter per state law. In my view it's either the law or it's not. In this case it is. Calling it a technicality is ridiculous. Laws live and die on technicalities.

            Has anyone ever figured out whether that made a difference in the 2020 election?

              I don't know, but it should not have been allowed. Otherwise, laws become invalid through inconvenience.

                The courts let it slide one time.

                I think they may not slide this time.

                Lawyer up.

                  Again:

                  1. Election Day should be a national holiday.
                  2. Early voting is only allowed starting three weeks before the election. You will have to have a valid excuse to vote early. And you must vote in person.
                  3. Mail-in ballots should be rare, traceable, signed appropriately with a copy of ID enclosed and a witness' signature. They may not be post-marked more than 21 days from Election Day.
                  4. Voting early or on Election Day will require picture ID and the ballot will be cast on paper.
                  5. Observers from all candidates on the ballot will be required at all polling stations.
                  6. All ballots must be traceable at all points of the voting and vote counting process.

                    Early voting here in Virginia started a couple weeks ago.

                    Voting runs from 9/23 - 11/5 - a long time

                    I can also look up my voting record for the last 20 years, where and when I voted, not for whom. I voted in all 20 years.

                      But do courts have the authority to ‘let it slide’ when the letter of the law is very clear?

                          To be fair, that wasn’t really the question. The question was whether the State Executive had the authority to waive that requirement under the broader auspices of the State of Emergency that most states had enacted for COVID. The short answer is the courts thought so. Whether the courts thought it was appropriate or not wasn’t really the issue.
