If I had to guess I'd think that they'd go with the precedent that impeachment trials in the Senate are overseen by the Chief Justice. There's enough wiggle room in the wording to perhaps have a court make a decision if pushed, I just don't know who would file that suit with the court.

Next state on is another battle but the fact we won't give him his home battleground is pretty clear we're biased against him. We all need a lawsuit to shut us up.

If said voter ID is provided free of charge by the state, I can agree to go along with it in the name of compromise.

Some states that require ID, such as Texas, already provide free ID cards. But I don't believe this is a strong enough compromise.  I personally believe that all American citizens, either now or at birth, should be implanted with a microchip created by Bill Gates.  This chip must be called the Municipal American Readable Chip.  Nobody can vote without a valid chip scan from a scanning machine called the Ballot Electronic Assurance Scanning Terminal, also paid for by the government by raising taxes on lottery winners. 

This will obviously infuriate liberals because, you know, they won't be able to cheat on elections anymore.
It will equally infuriate conservatives who don't want a Bill Gates chip embedded in their wrists and turning them gay. 

You know you have a good compromise when everyone is upset.  I call it the Solon Method of compromise.

6/10 decent effort should have tried to make the names make funny acronyms.

I also remember the line I stood in to vote before I left the US and it was insanely long. Richest country in the world, birthplace of modern democracy, somehow can't find the money to give urban areas the same consideration as rural one when it comes to voting.

And I'm in the UK now and the last time I voted my appointed spot was the parking lot of the local pub where they'd thrown up a tent. Worked just fine.

You learn something new every day.

It's like you're respecting the will of the voters.

So Trump has decided to Trump all over that and his DOJ is putting on a full court press to execute just as many people as he can possibly.get away with before Jan 20th. Never mind the scumbags getting the treatment or how 5 percent of people put to death are actually innocent, this isn't and shouldn't be a death penalty debate.

But that doesn't explain why the media pretty much didn't cover any third party options this time around, at all. That's a completely separate issue. The mainstream media did it's level best to rig the election as much as possible in favor of Biden.

So, you're saying the mainstream media didn't cover the third party option of "Libertarians", because that would take votes away from the Democrats? That's not usually the party where libertarian votes tend to go in America, is it? They usually go to Republicans.

Frankly I find it shameful that you use the same phrase "rig the election" for this kind of thing that is used by the conspiracy nuts who argue the election was stolen via, you know, actual election fraud.

By doing this, and by putting this sort of comment in an "election fraud" thread, you're also allying yourself with the lying Trump administration and the various nutjobs who believe it. Like Seriati (and unlike wmLambert who seems to genuinely believe the crap he's saying), it's not as if you actually believe the election was stolen, it's not as if you *actually* believe there was actual significant election fraud, you are just doing your best to muddle the issue with irrelevant nonsense. It's okay that Trump says the "election was stolen"... because the media turned people against him, oh no! But that's a bit of a very different accusation he's making that the election was frozen via election fraud. If Trump was just blaming the media for turning the people unfairly against him, NOBODY WOULD *censored*ING CARE.

All in all, rather dishonest of you. A game of "motte and bailey" where the same phrase "rig the election" is used to mean two different things.

Btw, I don't see you complaining how the evangelical & other religious groups supported Trump, nor do I see you complaining that the various religious groups tried to "rig the election" as much as possible in favour of Trump. I suppose it's excused if you have a direct line from god, telling you that Trump is the chosen one. It's okay to "rig the election" then, when God is telling you to.

Is it okay for religious groups to support Trump, or is that somehow not "rigging the election" according to you?

Aris you're one of my absolute favourite posters (funny thing, my other one atm is Lambert because boy howdy does he just bring the MOST entertaining websites to the party. Stuff I never would have come across in the wild.)

And a large part of that is just how sharp your knives get when anyone, right or left wing, starts acting stupid. It's wildly entertaining. Gotten sliced a time or two myself and I know on at least one occasion I definitely had it coming.

What I'm going to suggest right now is that perhaps your knives are getting just a little too sharp. There's, what, 10 if we're lucky regular posters, put the occasionals like me in there for maybe another ten, and then let's be generous and grant us another twenty lurkers who never post. That's fourty people. Ornery.org is not and never will be the hill where the war was won.

We've made a tradition of not attacking people on a personal level and not questioning people's motives. And while your stated opinions on Seriati and Lambert are ones that I might well share, *I actually enjoy hearing their opinions and arguments even when every part of me thinks they're full of *censored*.*

Where the hell else am I going to find reasonably cogent arguments from the other side in a place where theoretically we can all just sit down and talk without trying to kill each other? (I said reasonably. Even if some people don't give out entirely logical arguments there's value to be had in hearing them make their case.)

The absolute worst type of place this could ever become is an echo chamber, and I start to get concerned when one of the minority is outright being called insane and another is being told that he's a lying liar who lies.

I think the main difference between this year and 16 is that the voters in 20 had had four years of Trump in action to consider.

Clinton in 16 was an underwhelming candidate, neck deep in the swamp. So is Biden. Except this year enough people had seen Trump's true colors and went the other way.

The social democratic vote is still underestimated because the beuracracy in both parties are terrified of it, but if the right message is put forth to vote *for* something instead of *against* something in Georgia it'll be a tighter campaign then some think.

It sounds like the Secret Service has now called it for Biden...

There are crazies on both sides, yes, but it's the Trump figurehead actively creating a narrative of democracy being overturned via cheating and corruption. There's only one side desperately throwing out sparks that could set off a zealot bonfire and it's not only brown people who are able to get into the mindset that it's okay if they die so long as they take out some of the Enemy.


That being said if Biden and his camp possess half a brain they will have employed a legion of private security long before now for precisely this reason.

Well, it passed and if we look at it it's quite a doozy.
It basically acts as a bootstrapping bypass of the Electoral College.

This is old news.  Where you been?  It's the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.  16 States have already passed the measure.  Goes all the way back to 2007.  There is a big question about the constitutionality of the matter.  If it ever does pass it will end up with SCOTUS.  The agreement can also basically be pulled out of.  They have about 200 electoral votes tied up already.  More important the Colorado are votes in Ohio, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.

Honestly, I didn't know and thanks for passing the info on.

I'm curious on the basis of it being unconstitutional though. You'd think state's rights include how they choose to allocate their electoral votes. It's definitely not an issue of needing to  cleave to local election results or the existence of rogue electors wouldn't be a thing.

And of course if the state got tired of it they could vote it away.

It basically acts as a bootstrapping bypass of the Electoral College. It promises that if states adding up to 270 electoral votes also take up the compact, that Colorado pledges their electoral votes to the national popular vote winner.

Now people may get skeptical about that coming about but the funny thing about propositions that let's them continue to surprise us is that when you're voting they don't have an R or a D attached to them. So people who brainlessly vote straight ticket actually have to step back and think a moment. And I think this is something that could definitely catch on.

I am sick and tired of hearing people complaining about "new states." The process for that is perfectly outlined in the friggen Constitution and it is what it is. If the process goes through then it's done.

You know the last time people started getting real shirty about new states being added and their Senatorial impact? Pretty sure it was when people were worried about Northern anti-slavery states outweighing Southern pro-slavery states. The South got real upset. First we had to have some compromise they made me memorise in high school and I forgot a week later then we had a civil war over it.

Fact is the Senate is proportioned precisely to allow smaller states to have bigger impact and I think it's pretty rich listening to people who have defended and traded on that for what are likely literal decades get their panties in a bunch because they're assuming the new states just wouldn't think like they do.

Have to wonder how much of the "Arizona surprise" was a consequence of Californians moving to Arizona over the past 8 months as a consequence of the Covid lockdowns.

Or a proposition being up for voting, that being, "Should we allow recreational cannabis?"

It's anecdotal but based upon the people I saw growing up that is something that would have motivated them to get into the polling booth. Them being younger voters who, since they were there anyway, signed on to "Duck Trump."

Younger voters swing wildly liberal yet they're pansies who can't be arsed to actually vote on the day of. Well, for the most part. It's why the political establishment as a whole discounts them and why Bernie couldn't get past the primaries.

You really think that? Biden took AZ. It's not Cali or Texas or anything but that's eleven votes most all Trumptistas thought were solidly in their pocket. You can tell from their reactions when their own pocket media were the first to declare AZ for Biden. They were *not* happy.

No one tends to give a *censored* about Western States that don't start with C or T but these eleven votes actually dramatically shrink Trump's way to victory.

What's funny is that Puerto Rico could have been a state a very long time ago, it's just the Puerto Ricans keep politely declining. And God forbid DC be given representatives, it's not like their population is bigger then certain Republican states who get to have *their* two Senators.

The Court thing is morally dubious, I'll grant that. And yet, not at all unConstitutional and probably could rub cheeks with the idea that an open slot in February needs to wait until after the election but one in September needs to be filled RIGHT NOW IT'S THE RIGHT OF THE PRESIDENT.

Damn, y'all got quiet.  I know not everybody went to bed like me at 8:30pm CT.

I will say having been raised in Arizona I'm feeling pretty proud of the old place right now.

Although, I think the only reason Biden took Arizona is because this election had a proposition up to legalize recreational cannabis use. I guarantee that brought out voters who otherwise wouldn't have bothered and, while they were there, *censored* Trump.

Saw people talking about how they think that contributed to Michigan in 16 as well.
