Twenty-eight states changed voting rules to boost mail-in ballots
[Washington Examiner] A new report on the vast expansion of mail-in ballots in the 2020 election is set to spark new concerns among some Republicans who back former President Donald Trump’s charge that some states went too far to change the rules — illegally.

The group Nonprofit Vote said today that 28 states changed voting rules enabling more people to vote by mail than in person.

Among the three "key takeaways" cited was this: "28 States changed their policy to make it easier to use a mail ballot."

As a result, it added, "For the first time ever, more people voted early with a mail ballot or in-person than filled out a ballot at the polls on Election Day."

Trump associates have hit some states for making changes without legislative approval. However, in many cases, the Trump team had lost in court. Many states did follow the proper process to change the rules.

The report, America Goes to the Polls: Policy and Voter Turnout in the 2020 Election, does not go into the state-by-state changes, but it does show how many more voted.

Some GOP lawyers and officials have claimed that Democratic states sought to boost the anti-Trump vote by sending voters ballots, taking away the inconvenience of standing in line on Election Day. Most of those states, however, argued that the coronavirus crisis required a quick change to keep voters safe.

Trump moved early to criticize mail-in voting, but the report showed that voters embraced it.

"A record 111 million voted with either a mail ballot or early in-person, more than double the number who voted in person on Election Day," said the group.

#1  A theft in plain sight. Described openly, in advance.
If this garbage is allowed to stand, then the Republic is over

#2  I fear the republic is about over, definitely in the "decline and fall" stage.

#3  No worries, the message is clear. Our well moneyed Deep State oligarchs and their media partners will instruct us regarding whom we should vote for.

If their instruction is not heeded, more direct measures will be employed.

#4 

Any Coup having taken power immediately installs it own legal tribunal/system and controls the power to enforce and secure its position.

Therefore, not allowing any means of addressing the coup's criminal behavior used to achieving power within the new Coup controlled system. Without placing yourself in pearl.

eg. The Nov. 2020 Voting Coup d'état.
SCOTUS & DOJ & States all refusing to address literally tons of factually documented Massive Voting Fraud.

#5  How about ... every CITIZEN is given an ID, similar to a social security number or a military number. At election time a citizen may vote either in person or by mail or electronically. Each vote is identified by the given ID. votes cast by mail or electronically with duplicate IDs are set aside. The database to reference is keyed by ID and containes name and contact data ONLY. I have been a computer programmer for 60+ years and writing a program to do this would be easy.

#6  This is old news. Mail-in, absentee ballots. Ballots filled in for other people. Multiple ballots under variations of the same name. Out of state voting. All standard. It needs to be fixed, of course, but none of it matters so long as Dominion is doing the counting.

#7  It needs to be fixed, of course,
Hey, Angstrom, haven't you heard? The "fix" is in!

#8  Mail-in ballots without sufficient safeguards against ballot fraud. Nothing wrong with mail-in for those that need it, like the military.

#9  Fixed, indeed.

Senator Joni Ernst on COVID Bill: ‘91% of the Bill Shouldn't Have Passed'
[Breitbart] During a Tuesday appearance on Fox News Channel’s "America’s Newsroom," Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) slammed the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill, which passed the Senate over the weekend.

Ernst, noting that 91 percent of the bill did not support "COVID-related recovery," argued that "91 percent of the bill shouldn’t have passed." She called for "targeted relief" rather than people from her state having to bail out "poor blue states" "that don’t manage their budgets."

"Oh, for heaven sakes. There was 91 percent of that bill that did not go to supporting COVID-related recovery, so 91 percent of the bill shouldn’t have passed. We really need targeted relief. That is not what we saw in this $1.9 trillion package. Iowans are in particular upset about the fact that they will be bailing out blue states that don’t manage their budgets, that have excessive pensions, and my taxpayers who manage their finances quite well will be the ones bailing out these poor blue states."

Ernst added that farmers from Iowa are "upset" the package includes funding to a specific demographic of farmers across the nation.

Biden to Address Congress in Prime Time 11 March
[USAToday] WASHINGTON; President Joe Biden will make his first prime-time address Thursday night to commemorate the one-year anniversary of shutdowns taken across the nation at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki announced the address during Monday's press briefing. She did not provide a time or say where the president will deliver remarks.

"He will discuss the many sacrifices that the American people have made over the last year and the grave loss communities and families across the country have suffered," Psaki said.
Probably this will be via remote camera reading from a large font teleprompter. If you only have 1 month to live, be sure to watch because it will make you happy to go.

#12  You know for election after election the Donks would send teams out to the nursing homes with ballots to get signatures on ballots to spike the vote. Now they put the nursing home at the other end and have their team spiking the entire country with one signature.
