That's probably the idea.  Spread confusion, make it more difficult for others to vote, create the impression of voting fraud.  Ignore those pesky laws.
Why not just vote in person if you're going to show up anyway to check if mail voting worked?


It's looking more and more like Trump's October surprise will be a vaccine announcement, except with early voting they're starting to roll that out early, especially since the promise of a vaccine needs some time to take hold rather than just being a last week announcement.

It's likely BS, and any vaccine will start off small scale anyway.  But much better than bombing Iran, armed militia at polling stations, or some else militia/military related.  Or indictments of your foes.

Don't worry, Barr and Ron Johnson are working on that.

Intelligence bulletin warns Russia amplifying false claims mail-in voting will lead to widespread fraud

Quote
An intelligence bulletin issued by the Department of Homeland Security warns that Russia is attempting to sow doubt about the integrity of the 2020 elections by amplifying false claims related to mail-in voting resulting in widespread fraud, assertions that have been repeatedly pushed by President Donald Trump, according to a congressional source with direct knowledge of the document who confirmed its veracity.

"We assess that Russia is likely to continue amplifying criticisms of vote-by-mail and shifting voting processes amidst the COVID-19 pandemic to undermine public trust in the electoral process," the bulletin, first reported by ABC News, reads.
The warning comes one day after Attorney General Bill Barr condemned states for encouraging mail-in voting in an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer. Barr also downplayed Russia's well-documented attempts to help Trump in presidential elections, including in this election cycle, instead pointing the finger at China despite the fact intelligence agencies have not said Beijing is actively meddling in the election.

Penn State doctor says 30-35% of Big Ten athletes positive for COVID-19 had myocarditis symptoms

According to the Mayo Clinic, "In many cases, myocarditis improves on its own or with treatment, leading to a complete recovery."

Even in mild cases, however, the clinic suggests that "persons should avoid competitive sports for at least three to six months."

Inflammation can lead to "electrical malaise," Sebastianelli said, potentially causing arrhythmia, or an irregular heart rhythm.

"What has been seen across some of the schools is that some of the athletes affected haven’t really recovered their full pulmonary function," he said. "They just don’t train as hard as they normally can.

"We don’t know how long that’s going to last. What we have seen is when people have been studied with cardiac MRI scans — symptomatic and asymptomatic COVID infections — is a level of inflammation in cardiac muscle that just is alarming.”

As has been said enough times here, it isn't only about deaths and hospitalizations.

Dow finished over 29,000 today, just .06% off its record high in February.

Gee, Ward didn't say anything today about the Dow. I wonder why that is.

Okay, maybe I don't.

From a town in NH:

. In 2018 100 absentee ballots were cast in the primary. As of two weeks ago, last time they counted, there were already 1,800 ballots in. Also almost all undeclared took Democratic ballots.

I posted about the man who was suffocated to death by the Rochester NY police.

Seven police have been suspended.

Why did it take the release of the video to get anything done?!

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

wow

just so many wrongs here

Cops lie.

Are there lies in the linked article?

Do you not read?

Quote
Jaynes wrote in the affidavit that he verified "through a US Postal Inspector" that Glover had been receiving packages at Taylor's address.

A U.S. postal inspector in Louisville, however, has said police did not use his office to verify that Glover was receiving packages at Taylor's apartment. A different agency had asked in January to look into whether Taylor's home was receiving suspicious mail, the inspector told WDRB News, and the post office concluded it wasn't.

Nor is that the only lie involved.

30% of Americans think the economy is fine - probably including Ward.

And yet, he thinks Americans are not stupid.
