Ah, yes.
A candidate who blamed her loss on “ voter suppression”.
A favorite democrat complaint that has yet to have one verifiable case to point to.

One cannot prove anything to anybody.

One can only provide the facts and hope that they will be honest with themselves about it.

There are no facts. That’s why you didn’t post any.

You say that every time you have no countering arguments.

The facts on voter suppression have been posted again and again, but Ward denies them all!

Polls closed? "Oh," says Ward, "there are perfectly good reasons for it," even though he can find none that apply in the specific instances.

Names removed from the voter lists abruptly and without notification? "Oh," says Ward, "they must have fallen afoul of some rule," despite a lack of supporting information.
Hey, Ward, remember not very long ago when you attacked me and then observed that nobody came to my defense?

And how after that, a couple came to mine, but nobody came to yours?

And reading Karl Rove claim that it is a smear is like listening to Trump call a question from a reporter "a nasty question." Your parroting of them is about as substantive.

LOL!
No facts.
Again

Like I said.

You wouldn't admit to recognizing a fact if it bit you on the nose.

Thank you for proving me right (to everybody but you).

Trump was always a con man. He’s the best ever because he absolutely believes everything he says. He had the money and clout to inhale sycophants with connections.

White America got exactly what it wanted: Rich folks looted the treasury and the religious hypocrites got platoons of young, true believers put on the federal bench for life... and then we needed real leadership.

According to Darshan-Leitner, if a private party like a hospital or health care worker of a chemical company had learned of a dangerous and highly contagious disease and then deliberately covered its existence up and concealed it from the public they would clearly face criminal and civil liability.

"Why should a local or national government be any different? Clearly, China signed treaties and had a duty under international law to report the virus and not cover it up," she continued. "China is not to blame for creating the virus but for not sounding the international alarm and trying to conceal it from the world."

I already shared with you that we knew about it at the end of December, Kid. There was no effective cover-up. We warned our people about it in January.

We just chose not to listen to ourselves or to them.

December 31, 2019: Chinese Health officials inform the WHO about a cluster of 41 patients with a mysterious pneumonia. Most are connected to Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market.

December 31, 2019: Hong Kong English language online newspaper reports "Mainland reports suspected Sars outbreak."

Can't believe anything that mealy-mouthed bastard says.

Next thing you know, this disease will be all over the US and we'll have school closures and "shelter-in-place" orders and the prez will be angry with the Chinese and yelling at reporters for doing his job.

The DJIA has returned to the first week of December, 2016.

Does that mean we can have Obama back as president?!

If only the US had a month or two notice, we could have done all sorts of planning and preparation and been ready to confront and limit the virus before it spread throughout the US and saved lives and the economy.

Oh wait ...

[facilitatorn]

Kid is stuck failing miserably to defend complete and total bastards yet again.

Cult flunkies got it rough, now as ever.

Better information would be Kid’s cure, would he ever turn to it.

Sadly Fox fucks him blind.

Why would folks not consider relocating temporarily if possible?
Any answer appreciated

Pets
Civic responsibility
Family
Work
Lack of financial resources
Every state has some cases

Look this isn't a hemorrhagic fever here with high death rates.  It's not Ebola stalking the streets.  It's basically a nasty new flu that people don't have immunity to which can weaken the vulnerable so opportunistic diseases can pick them off.  Stay in for a period of time as much as possible and stop transmissions to end the outbreak.

I'm sure if you're a Bush or part of the elite, you simply private jet up to your summer home in Maine early this year and ride it out far away from the infected hordes.   But most people have roots and ties and financial constraints that make them unable to move to another state for two months for a whole host of reasons.  So I doubt you'll see any significant panic migration. 

(This was a big problem in Italy where the outbreak was concentrated in the northern province of Lombardy, and the gov't lockdown in that region leaked out before the official announcement.  People who could fled south, bringing the disease they thought they were fleeing with them).

My niece who lives in NYC was considering going back to her parents home in the Poconos once the work at home order came through.  I'm not sure if she ended up leaving or not.  Somebody heading out of NYC in a car to stay in a more rural area with family doesn't seem much risk.  Especially if she shelters in place there.  But maybe I'm being naive and any movement from a high risk area such as NYC to a low risk area (PA mountains) is a bad idea and potential virus spreader.  It is better if she stays in NYC and shelters in place, and maybe best if the gov't enforces that.
