Sad thing is he isn’t.   sad

My wife wife and I voted by absentee today for tomorrow’s Michigan primary. She dropped them off at the city clerk this morning. 

We plan to get to get it in earlier for the November election. Not going to trust the US mail to get it there, the new Trump guy in charge is making cutbacks. Go figure.

Here in Colorado, the secretary of state's office sends a confirming email when your ballot has been received and accepted by mail.  It is a very user friendly system and no more susceptible to fraud than any other system.  As I've mentioned before, I like mail-in a lot.

Notable by his absence in the mail-in "debate" is Colorado's own Rich Davis.  I suspect that Rich likes his mail in ballot too!  But it would be tough to admit that publicly, as it would distance him from one of Trump's main campaign themes, and that could not be tolerated.

Please Rich, go stand in line at your polling place Nov.3. Make sure to go when it's busy.

This is not an answer, it is a dodge.  I'll ask directly, do you like the Colorado mail-in ballot system?  As you probably recall, all elections have had mail-in since 2014.  I think that one can still vote in person if desired, but in 2018 95.3% of CO voters used the mail-in or drop-off options.  All of this with no significant fraud!  Trump is as dumb as you if he thinks this issue has legs.

Come on, be a man and admit that you mailed in your ballot or dropped it off and found it to be very convenient.

If so, explain it to me.  Which side is correct, the Drs. who say that wearing masks are ultimately necessarily or the science put forth by the former minister of Health for the country of France who said that wearing masks does nothing, and may even be harmful to the wearer?

Which one do you support and why?  
Nice dodge.  Jim was asking about mail-in voting.

Also, suspect and assume are not the same word and have quite different meanings.  Idiot.  I have basis for my suspicion of course.  Over 95% of Colorado voters utilized the mail-in or drop-off options in 2018.  Did you even vote?  Do you have the franchise?  Felons don't in Colorado.  Is that the issue?  

I actually do suspect that you voted.  I suspect you mailed it in or dropped it off.  If I am correct, why is it so hard to admit?  Are you afraid that DJT reads these forums and will spank you?

Speaking of masks....Mainstream media has finally jumped on the facts and truth instead of fear mongering bandwagon with this piece on Good Morning America.....

It made me laugh, and I got a bigger laugh from your angry response!  LOL  tongue

How many times are you going to dodge JB's question?

"I'll ask directly, do you like the Colorado mail-in ballot system?"

From now on, your Trump pledge pin shall read "Dodgeball" Davis.

He's sorry but he's too busy reading the Daily Mail to take questions right now...
