Not surprising. Thats where trump is from after all.

West coast best coast!

All the state knows is if you cast a ballot or not; they do not track how you actually voted.

Voting in another persons name is a felony and there have been a few people who have been caught. Its not worth it, kind of like armed robbery of a mail carrier. Quick way to get fucked by the state.

I believe in Oregon (the pioneer in mail in voting) you're looking at potential fines or jail time depending, with a potential mix of fraud, forgery, identity theft and other laws being broken.

But the state has this to say:

Is voter fraud a problem in Oregon?

​​​​​​​No. Oregon elections are secure and protected against voter fraud in all but exceedingly rare instances. In 2020, out of millions of votes cast, residents and local elections officials reported 140 instances of potential voter fraud. Of these 140 cases, four cases were referred to the Oregon Department of Justice and two of those are pending resolution.​

By comparison, in 2018 there were a total of 84 total reports of voter fraud. Two were referred to the Department of Justice.

A review of the vote by mail system​ by the state’s Legislative Fiscal Office found from 2000-2019 there were approximately 61 million ballots cast. Of those, 38 criminal convictions of voter fraud were obtained. This amounts to a .00006% rate. ​

You have to register to receive a ballot. Registration is with the state and they run an id check on you. You only get a single ballot. Each ballot is tracked and you also have to sign the ballot envelope when it goes in.

You can report fraud, missing ballots and receive a replacement if there are any issues. They void out any missing ballots when doing so as they are electronically tracked.

You are retarded

Oregon, Washington and California are all exclusively mail-in.

Thats incredibly dumb take. I have voted mail in for every election in my entire life, for 26 years. Never had an issue and I have only missed a single local election that was fairly inconsequential. Its nice having 2-3 weeks to figure out how you want to vote.

My office does not allow people to take time off for voting. After seeing people on cnn who were in line at a poll for 16 hours waiting to vote 4 hours from their house, it seems absolutely insane not to do mail in. Unless the goal is to prevent people from voting, that is.

Israel has in many ways closer ties to Russia today than to the US. Roughly a million Israelis are from Russia.

The US has little to no influence over Israeli domestic politics. Pretending that Israel is a puppet state of the US is... delusional.

59 year old women typically don't have children so at this point, functionally.

Also, one typically does not have kids at age.... 49.

Exactly

Can you post snippets of mastodon posts on websites like you can tweets?

I'm pretty sure that these idiots who wrote this will only be happy once everyone in this country is miserable and dead. They hate everything about this country.

You would probably have around 200-220 sheep actually

Georgia, Crimea. Gave Russia a pass.
