Democrats, asserting constitutional authority to set the time, place and manner of federal elections, want national rules they say would make voting more uniform, accessible and fair across the nation.

What obstacle course?  You go to the polling center, wait your turn and vote.

I think really every person should have their ballot pre-filled as Democrat; then you should have to prove - in a court of law - that you need to have it changed to anything else.

Well, I don't know about that. There was traffic. And I had to navigate around the parking lot for an open spot. And then I had to navigate around a wreck right outside the polling place afterwards. It was a great ordeal which made me question the entire election process.

I didn't read all the article, but I assume they are planning to amp up the number of mail in votes.

I'm assuming it's a plan where they mail out millions and millions of ballots, and then we just trust that all they ballots the Dems say will filled out and mailed in are legit.

Democrats won't be happy until you can pick up a whole stack of ballots wherever you do your grocery shopping, take them home, and fill out as many or as few as you have the wherewithal to fill out...

If anything we need more obstacles to keep low information retards from voting; a short multiple question test that you fill out while waiting in line that ask basic questions about the US government and politics would be a great idea as well.  No, I absolutely do not believe that everyone has a right to vote; some are far too stupid to be entrusted with that sort of responsibility.

Not sure why people are saying they don't believe them.  They want to make voting easier, just like this did this past year with mail in ballots.  Having 30 days to check a box and drop an envelope in the mail is a lot easier that waiting until the single election day, driving there, waiting in a line for hours, voting, and then driving home.

It is a common known sales practice the easier you make a process the more engagement you get.  The Democrats nailed that with mail in voting and their results (including the amount of fraud) speak for themselves.  Republicans actively discouraged people from mail in voting, instead telling them to only vote in person on election day the way God intended it to be.

The best explanation of why mail in voting worked so well for the Democrats is this.  Imagine for 30 days you are constantly bombarded with TV and radio ads, web ads, and mailers.  Republicans just had to suffer through them and take no action for those 30 days. The Democrats, for those 30 days, if a single message/ad struck a cord with them had a ballot sitting there that they could fill out and drop in the mail.  From a sales standpoint what the Republicans did was extremely stupid and obviously was going to produce lower results.  

*note: I'm not saying things should be that way but this how everyone knew things were going to be last year and the Republicans shot themselves in the foot in swing states.  The Dems are going to use that to expand mail in voting in the future.  The days of only voting in person on a single day are dead/done.

My view on voting would be only people who pay taxes above the standard deduction or have paid taxes for 30 years should have the right to vote.  Limit the ability for people to pick how the money is spent to those who pay taxes.

Once you “read” someone’s code you can learn their thought process... especially when they are trying to secret code sequence. The “gloating” machines and the code process is rudimentary, but bold and arrogant..

The opposite.  They will push for universal mail in ballots, meaning every person on the voter rolls is automatically mailed a ballot and of course no signature verification will be required.  That way they can harvest all the ballots from people, including the dead.  

Cleaning up the voter rolls is a very difficult process.  Unless notified it takes a state a minimum of 10 years to remove someone from the rolls.  In my state they had a list of 220,000 names that needed to be removed, the Democrats sued and stopped the clean up.  Many states have not cleaned up their rolls in over 20 years.  Everyone on record would be sent a ballot.

In November, they were quick to defend states like PA changing their election rules on the fly without legislative involvement, reminding everyone that the states have total control over how they run their elections.
But now that they control the entire federal government, they think it'll be better if the federal government controls everything?

Hmm. Who could've seen that coming?
