Here's a prominent one of those, Greg: "Dr. Robert Pozos of the University of Washington, who in the past has advocated use of the Nazi results, said after reading Berger’s report that the experimenters’ scientific methods were ″atrocious.″ He added, ″My opinion is that the data should not be referenced″ in other research papers. ″It should not be used.″

I found many articles discussing whether so-called nazi experiments and research should be used, the ethics in considering it and the like. I did not find hundreds articles arguing for it...

If you scan through this article, you will run across the thoughts of individuals who suggest that the information should be used. One section that caught my attention, "Scientific Competence of the Nazi Doctors", I found interesting.
After looking at the article, two things stand out for me: 1. They're aren't hundreds that think the data should be used, not even close to that. 2, The section on scientific validity says it all.

Face, Greg, you got caught again espousing your uninformed opinion as the final word on yet another topic you obviously didn't research.  Grand pronouncement that "hundreds" of scientists favor the use of Nazi "research" just as obviously isn't true...

Articles and scientists do not equate Rod.....or perhaps they do in your mind lol
Ok, so we can agree that hundreds of scientists do not support the use of nazi research. We can disagree, however, and based upon your statement above and upon your "quick search" that hundreds of articles exist for its use.

Modern and Convenient Voting

In California, I received a notice via regular mail that a ballot would be mailed to me automatically. When I subsequently received the ballot I or any other voter have three choices of completing its return: 1. By mail, postage paid 2 . By drop-off box (4 in my relatively small town) 3. At the poll in November on election day. I'm going with the drop-off box myself. 
I see Texas is still actively moving to limit the drop-off sites to ONE per huge county. I hope the court stops Abbot in a timely manner...

Well, the GOP is actively attempting to subvert the drop-off ballot sites in California by installing their own unofficial drop-off boxes at churches and gas stations:

This practice is, of course illegal, and I hope the perps will be prosecuted for it. It will also give the Trump campaign ammunition to further their argument that the voting process is fraudulent, even if their own supporters engage in it...

The GOP continues to defy the cease and desist order. You can imagine the uproar on Fox and other wingnut sites if the Democrats tried a stunt like that...
