There are several reports that mail-in votes have been found dumped in ditches or in enclosed yards. Oddly, the vast majority of those dumped postal votes seem to be votes for Trump and the DoJ is getting involved in the investigation. In addition, the USPS union have declared that they are aware of at least some of the incidents and have confirmed that their own personnel are not involved.

If these stories are true, then postal voting in the USA is... probably no longer suitable for purpose.

And yes, Winsconsin has reported discovering postal votes abandoned in a ditch while there is footage of a worker dumping bags of postal votes in an enclosed parking lot in California.

There was a single report of a box of mail found in a ditch. Included in the various bits of mail was some absentee ballots.

The way you phrased it one might think you were trying to create the impression someone had gathered up a bunch of absentee ballots specifically and dumped them, which is not what happened.

Oddly, the vast majority of those dumped postal votes seem to be votes for Trump and the DoJ is getting involved in the investigation.


While I have no doubt Bill Barr would launch an investigation into reports of flying pink elephants trying to rig the election as long as the story said they were trying to rig it against Trump, care to link to the evidence this was so?

Link it then.

CNN on line currently has a comprehensive article on this. OK, I realise that CNN isn't Brietbart so it doesn't believe that Trump is the new Messiah, but their investigation really debunks the conspiracy theory.
We (in my location) have two elections coming up, and I intend to postal vote in both due to Covid risks. Just like Trump.

Which comments would those be? The ones where he baselessly alleges widespread fraud in order to try to discredit the legitimacy of the election? Or the ones where he uses the sabotage of postal delivery his hand picked postmaster general is performing in order to undermine faith in the election? Or the ones where he illegally encourages entire states to try to vote twice in order to create widespread illegitimacy in the election?

It's so hard to keep track.

I guess some people are interested in defending democracy and others think it's okay to throw it under the bus to get their "guy" elected.

Which type are you?

So either you are one of our previous pantheon of complete idiots who were rather adamant that Trump has done nothing wrong and fascism is good, actually (or, as they liked to put it, "people who call fascist things fascist are the real fascists!"), or you are someone who knowingly or not decided to jump into the hole left by their passing.

As you are currently doing a piss-poor job of being a real american in their mould, here are some pointers:
1. Your insults are weak. You need to up your game in that respect; these oneliners you're dribbling out are mediocre
2. You are not using enough easily debunked sources. In fact, I notice you're not spending any time sourcing anything; to be fair to you, this does have some tradition here, but you are missing the code phrase "do your own research, lieberals!", which has never, ever backfired for anyone posting here.


To my fellow frequent posters in this forum: I would recommend that you ignore this person from this point on until they shape up. The previous representatives of the american conservative side of the political divide have set a standard for excellence that we should expect from anyone trying to replace them; this supposed successor to the throne of chief bootlicker should have to prove their mettle before being engaged again.

Nah, it's "secretary Chernenko from the hospital bed accused secretary Andropov in adjacent hospital bed about the attempt to usurp the power". Seriously, hearse races on the Red Square is not the tradition that we proud of. You shouldn't imitate USSR here.

If you have serious points to make, make them. Otherwise you are just trolling and should exit the forum.
