US Election

I think he didn't promote it, because he didn't understand it. I think he probably still don't understand it, but it's gradually dawning on him.

 

You don’t have to go to specific post boxes to mail your ballot. To make an in person vote, you have a specific location. maybe that’s why trumps friend on the USPS removed so many post boxes, so each state had just one that armed supporters could surround and intimidate

 

I don't think that we have the same issues with voting in person, though.
I've never waited to vote once. If I had to spend hours queueing up to do it, then I'd definitely be more interested in postal voting.

As for the difference between voting for the two candidates, Trump didn't just fail to promote postal votes, he said that they were wrong.
He discouraged his own base from using them, while encouraging those that didn't like him to do it.

 

That’s for the discussion fellas. Off to watch raiders of the lost ark.
Have a good un

 

I hear what you are saying, I'd still want to understand, how 70M+ Americans, managed to get off their arses to mail ballot, or whatever the figure was that did. Think about it, we are asking an American to fill out a form, seal it, then take it to a post box, Americans don't do anything, unless it's a drive thru

 

I suppose I just look at myself from the last election, and you know how much I wanted Brexit, I was at a stage thinking, can i really be asked to do this. Ok, I did, but 70M Americans would have been asking themselves that very same question, even a bookie would struggle with those percentages.

 

They've been bombarded with this for four years, though.
It's dominated our news for a while, so imagine what theirs is like!

Postal voting is easier. Why wouldn't more people do it?

 

Looks like we got a new clown turned up on the site... https://www.not606.com/threads/salah.387984/page-2#post-14315318

 

Are you being serious...

 

Of every one on this board, you are the one person I would love to spar with the most.

You up for it?

 

Oops, wrong thread.

 

why are you so aggressive and abusive?

 

my local polling station is in a community centre. In my small village we have two polling stations.

70m didn’t just vote for Joe via mail in ballots, and I’m sure 70m didn’t just vote on day for trump. Would love to see the final vote breakdown methods for both options and parties.

 

Over 100m votes were cast before Election Day, but it was a combination of postal voting and early voting.

 

The claims are that even getting 70m votes he lost.

Comparing the voting methods of U.K. to US isn’t ideal. The number of voters and vast scale makes it different when people are saying he was cheated.

that the voting machines used in 2016 are easily fixed.....the ones Trump said people should use in person.

 

If Trump had a problem with the voting machines, then he should've changed them.
It's not the Democrats' fault that the Republicans blocked a load of bills meant to address election security.

He knows he lost. He's selling a narrative and keeping his followers in line.
He's going to run again for 2024 and keep the money rolling in.

 

Lots of information in this link, if anyone wants to make any sense of it...

It appears to break down the early mail votes, compared to turning up in person, it also looks like you can drill down into the information by state.

 

And he won’t win again. The Republican Party will be cursing him.
