    Speak to your own experience with your own state, not parroting what you hear.
    When it affects the rest of us, it’s all of our business. Like Communist China lying about the Coronavirus, now we’re ALL screwed

    Those long lines are suppression, people shouldn’t have to wait for hours, or it’s just not possible for people due to work or family obligations. A lot of people have to piss after an hour. What about those that physically can’t even stand there ?

    Long lines lead to apathy which turns people away.

      Democrats just had to walk the victory in TWICE now but they still manage to botch it.

        Texas lets people vote anywhere in their county but if you wait until 6:50 pm to go vote you don't have time to go to a different location when you see a long line

          Trump: "I will protect your Social Security and Medicare, just as I have for the past 3 years. Sleepy Joe Biden will destroy both in very short order, and he won’t even know he’s doing it!"

          Trump already attacking Biden for offering to cut Social Security in the past. Biden will lose old voters and youth turnout will be garbage .

            The Democrats these days are nothing like the past.
            FDR, Truman and JFK must be spinning in the grave.

              FDR put Japanese Americans in interment camps. Truman vaporized two cities. JFK bagged Marilyn Monroe. How will Democrats ever live up to all that.

                I know. The Japanese government was so humanistic.

                      I prefer Bernie. I like most of his platform and he's always my top candidate on http://isidewith.com (which I recommend everyone check out), but I'm not sure if Sanders can win in November without the black vote; and he clearly did not improve on those numbers from 2016. With beating trump in November my absolute #1 concern, I may be shifting my support to Biden.

                          He was second among black voters in Nevada when the field was still crowded. Deciding to vote Biden because party machines in gerrymandered districts are supporting him doesn't make a lot of sense imo.

                            Dallas County asks to recount Super Tuesday election results after 44 thumb drives discovered

                            Dallas County Elections Administrator Toni Pippins-Poole discovered her office did not count about 10% of the ballots that voters cast on Super Tuesday.


                            She is now asking a court to let her conduct a manual recount of votes, after she discovered thumb drives containing ballots from 44 precincts that were not included in the final results.

                            It’s uncertain which 44 precincts are involved, how many votes are at issue, and whether the apparent winners from any races will change. Still, the 44 precincts represent almost 10% of the total precincts on Super Tuesday.

                            “We need to investigate this entirely, immediately. The time has absolutely come for Toni Pippins-Poole to step down as elections administrator,” Dallas County Commissioner J.J. Koch told WFAA. “I deeply regret that this is happening in Dallas County right now. There’s already enough questions about our ability to serve the people of Dallas County. This is tremendously damaging to our local democracy.”

                            Pippins-Poole filed the petition and affidavit in court late Friday, according to county officials.

                            In the affidavit accompanying the court petition, Pippins-Poole said she only made the discovery while reconciling the books and discovered she did not have enough ballots for everyone who showed up to vote.

                            She now wants to recount and re-tabulate votes in both the Democratic and Republican primary elections.

                            “I think that its important that every vote is counted and then if it impacts the election, it impacts the election,” said State Sen. Royce West, D-Dallas, who narrowly made the May runoff election for the Democratic nomination in the U.S. Senate race. “I’m troubled by why 44 boxes had not been counted. We need to find out why that occurred and make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

                            For the Mar. 3 primary elections, Dallas County began using new voting equipment that requires two thumb drives to record the votes, one is a primary drive, the second is a back-up drive.

                            “This new election equipment records citizen votes electronically, but also creates a paper ballot record of the votes which were cast,” according to the court petition.

                            “It was initially believed that all of the ballots cast at all of the 454 vote centers had been received back,” wrote Pippins-Poole in an affidavit to the lawsuit. “However, it was later determined that there are ballots from 44 of the precinct scanner and tabulator machines that are unaccounted for. Consequently, I need to perform a paper recount of the ballots from 44 of the precinct scanner and tabulator machines that were not accounted for during the reconciliation process.”

                            Pippins-Poole said she “consulted with the Texas Secretary of State” after discovering the 44 thumb drives and decided to petition a court to let her “reopen” the central counting process.

                            “The recount requested would involve taking the paper ballots from the ballot boxes of those 44 scanner and tabulator machines and running the paper ballots through the central counting station tabulator,” the Dallas County petition states. “Further, the Dallas County Elections Administrator asks the Court to set a date and time for the recount to occur so all parties authorized under the Texas Election Code may attend the recount and observe.”

                            “We anxiously await the explanation from the elections adept on how this could possibly happen. Until such happen, I won’t deal in supposition or what-ifs,” Rodney Anderson, Chairman of the Dallas County Republican Party, told WFAA this afternoon.

                            “Our main concern is that the vote of every Dallas County voter, Democratic or Republican, is counted. Due to the small number of uncounted ballots, it is doubtful that the outcome of Tuesday’s vote will change. Nevertheless, the Dallas County Election Director is correctly requesting permission of the Court to open the ballot process so that all ballots can be counted," Carol Donovan, the chairwoman of the Dallas County Democratic Party said.

                            “It is unfortunate that Commissioner JJ Koch has prematurely requested the resignation of Dallas County Election Administrator Toni Pippins Poole before any investigation and before the court has ruled on her petition for recount. Much of the confusion and delays were caused by the failure of the local Republican Party to staff even half of the Dallas County vote centers," Donovan said.

                            Saturday evening Pippins-Poole released the following statement concerning why she asked for the recount:

                            On March 6, 2020, I filed a petition with the District Court, in my official capacity as Dallas County Elections Administrator, to re-open the Central Counting Station for a recount and re-tabulation of the Dallas County March 3, 2020 Democratic and Republican primary elections. During the reconciliation process after Election Day, it was determined that there were discrepancies with thumb drives from 44 of the precinct scanner and tabulator machines. Of the 44 thumb drives, 16 were not received in a timely manner to the Elections Department and 28 were from voting machines not scheduled to be used but were used by volunteer election officials. When Dallas County procured new election equipment, we ensured that paper ballot records were included with our electronic system. With this paper backup, and in consultation with the Texas Secretary of State, I have asked the District Court to allow Dallas County to authorize the recount of the paper ballots through the central counting station tabulator. If the Court grants this petition, the Dallas County Elections Department will post notice of the recount and make the results available to the public as quickly as possible.”

                              The format for the next debate in Arizona — their first since Biden’s blowout Super Tuesday victories — would have the candidates seated for the first time this election cycle and take multiple questions from the audience. In the prior 10 debates, the candidates stood at lecterns and nearly all questions were asked by the professional moderators.
                              https://www.politico.com/news/2020/0...-debate-123467

                              They changed the rules so Gabbard can't get in after winning delegates in American Samoa, and now they're changing the debate format in an attempt to make Biden look less tired. And with "questions from the audience" no doubt screened in advance and hand-picked by the DNC but made to look like a representative sample of the general public.
