US Presidential Election 2024 - Trump vs Harris - Vote Hard with a Vengence

I'm surprised that, given their location, that they are not investing more heavily in THAAD and CDCM.

Is this a preemptive strike, making excuses for a harris' loss? Are you going to be able to make it through four years in the Deeply Fractured US thread with evidence this thin?

It doesn't look like Harris will appear in Joe Rogan's podcast that he hosts in Austin Texas. Rumor is its too close to the border.

It's a minor programming issue that ONLY affects machines designed for people with disabilities. When you start the voting process, you have the option to select "straight-party vote" (selecting all candidates from the same party for all elections), or "split-party". The issue is that if you select straight-party, but the select candidates from different parties, you get an error message, and and then you have to go correct that error. It's an inconvenience.

So a voting machine problem, that could possibly skew the election results, is just an inconvenience. Good to know.

How do you claim that a tiny portion of the population in a small fraction of cases among them having to go back and un-check a tick-box would sway the election?

If a VAT user votes straight party and then splits their ticket, they will receive an error message, but will have the chance to fix it and still cast a ballot.

Reading this (from the article), it’s more of an “are you sure you want to do this?” Issue like on Windows.

The bigger issue would be if it allowed you to split ticket after you said you wanted to vote straight party.

Well, it's actually supposed to.

On the non VAT machines, if you select straight-party, and then proceed to change some of the selections to someone from a different party, it then automatically de-selects the "straight-party" tick-box. Kind of like how in many electronic lists (e.g. contact lists, emails, etc), where you can select or check-box each item in the list, there is often a box at the top that says "select all", and when you click that, it auto-selects everything in the list. If you then go and un-check/un-select one of the items, the "select all" box un-checks itself.

I didn't think there was room for another foot in there.

I'll retract my previous statement. You shouldve explained it like that the first time.

Donald Trump’s cognitive decline becoming a troubling concern

Americans from both sides of the political spectrum should be alarmed by Trump’s words and behavior. The nation must confront the fact that beyond his hateful character, he is crippled cognitively ...

lasvegassun.com

The Las Vegas Sun has pen see a rather devastating editorial detailing evidence of Trump’s significant recent cognitive decline, and emphasizing the risk of Vance as essentially a Manchurian candidate beholden to other interests, and simply awaiting Trump’s mental incapacitation. The piece points out the increasing risk of a debilitated Trump being vulnerable to manipulation by both domestic and foreign interests as he has an increasingly difficult time keeping it together and functioning through admitted fatigue.

All of the concerns that were brought up about Biden’s unsuitability on grounds of cognitive decline are equally valid for Trump, and evidence of that continues to mount. He’s 78 and in decline. He’s not in mental shape to capably and effectively serve out a four year term, and it’s getting worse.
