Is this Trump's insistence that mail in voting equals fraud coming home to roost?  In other words, what if there were 10,000 or so GA voters who would have voted Trump, but couldn't make it to the polls for one reason or another and also did not vote by mail because Trump told them not to?

Correction - according to the Secretary of State, there are 36k ballots outstanding.

When do we get to the part where he secretly marries Stormy Daniels and kills himself?

I like the idea of not making careless and thoughtless votes cast be people that wouldn't lift a finger to even get a ballot, let alone research candidates and issues even a little to know what they are even voting for. It isn't a huge deal as it is probably a really small number of people that would get caught in that net anyway, but it resonates with me a little.

I couldn't care less if Democrats got 100% of the vote in California, NY, and Massachussetts.  

The popular vote doesn't matter.  

The Constitution matters.

What don't you understand about that?

Oh wait, I forgot, you don't understand the Constitution. 

That explains your massive confusion.

Soooo.  Colorado remains nearly as fiscally conservative as Utah and as socially liberal as anywhere.  I am OK with that, although I sure would have liked to see the EC vote go the other way.

Sounds like a great state to live with an electorate that prioritizes individual liberty and avoids profligate fiscal waste!   The USA needs more Colorados!

In other words, do you even know what he meant or what he was talking about there?  

Which begs this next question:  Are you really this ignorant?

Great, then explain the context and what he was addressing in that statement.

You simply said this "In speaking of the Constitution".

That is vague.  I happen to know what he was speaking OF in terms of that statement.

So then You explain it, then I'll be happen to CORRECT your INCORRECT implication of Jefferson's quote there.  

Here is Jefferson's statement:

We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.”...
