    Sounds like Barr/DOJ is a lot wrong.... but I think this is the first time in 3.5 years somebody in this administration actually admitted a mistake... I'm gobstopped, since it happens a dozen times a day...

    SNIP
    In a statement Friday, Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec acknowledged that Barr's description of the case was incorrect.

    "Prior to his interview, the Attorney General was provided a memo prepared within the Department that contained an inaccurate summary about the case which he relied upon when using the case as an example,” Kupec said.

    So you CANNOT provide a CREDIBLE nonpartisan source for your allegation?

    Got it!

    Can you provide a CREDIBLE NON PARTISAN source for your link rating websites? Your website is a Soros funded fact checker

    All it takes is one rogue mail-in state to screw up the presidential outcome for an entire nation. God forbid we should ever have someone like you managing our electoral process if you can't understand something as simple as that. Your entire post is utter nonsense, written by someone whose only interest is in "representing" the interests of the far left, and not the country itself.

    Doesn't sound like a joke to me...he is obviously concerned people's votes won't be counted....like what Andy Cuomo did to voters in NYC

    It's important for voters to ensure their vote is being counted this year....well every year really....why does that scare libs so much?

    It was over after they counted the first 1000 votes.

    So you FAILED to actually READ the LINK that stated the LAST DATE on which it was UPDATED?

    That was just 7 weeks to publish ALL of the RESULTS!

    Given that NY had just been DEVASTATED by your Covidiot-in-Chief's FAILURE to deal with the Pandemic and that there would have been a SHORTAGE of people available that was a remarkable effort.

    Does your wannabe Fascist-in-Chief intend to cause another DISASTER to delay election results in November?

    7 weeks from November 3rd is MORE than enough time to figure out that Biden will become the POTUS on 1/20/2021.

    It is however, not illegal to vote by mail, and then try and make sure that vote was counted.

    Why should it take 7 weeks to get any election result when we normally get them on the day of the election, often before the day is even over?

    How is it that you FAIL to realize the extent to which you are hijacking and corrupting our entire electoral system, for no reason other than to favor the criminal left, and disenfranchise those who vote honestly.

    Sorry, dude. It's the other way around.

    The assault on the electorate that IS the use of polling stations is being used to make it easier for some to vote while making it hard for others to vote.

    The result is that we've been seeing unrepresentative outcomes for DECADES.

    Vote by mail in states that offer no other way to vote (WA, OR and others) IS secure and it denies elected officieals methods for taking actions that ARE intended to change election outcomes.

    And, remember that EVERY STATE has vote by mail. EVERY STATE.

    What is wanted is to make that system SECURE and to allow all to use it. Also, polling places need to be eliminated, as there are NUMEROUS easy opportunities for using that system to affect outcomes.

    Are you really opposed to making the vote by mail system in YOUR state secure?

    Are you really opposed to allowing citizens of your state to use that system?

    It shouldn't take 7 weeks. AND, it doesn't.

    Are you referring to the Dallas problem? They brought that on themselves by not hiring the staff to make their ANTIQUATED system work.

    Their failure is NOT a referendum on vote by mail. It's a referendum on failed planning and antiquated systems.



    And, your comment on being open to crime is just plain ridiculous. Vote by mail is secure in states where that's the only method used.

    And, polling place voting is RIFE with election fraud and has been for decades. It's a system that is easy for those in power as well as action groups to manipulate.

    Vote by mail is a direct assault against election fraud.

    Well, it takes one to know one, I suppose, but aren’t lawyers involved in the example he gave from Texas contradicting his description of the details, and hasn’t Carter come out to claim he’s misrepresenting the findings of his report?

    Hard to take an AG seriously when he doesn't even know if the President is legally allowed to move the election date.

    Taking that amount of time in one location means there was some sort of problem at that one location.

    It certainly does NOT mean that vote by mail is inherently slow.

    Why should I believe Barr's totally unsubstantiated hypothetical when my own state has HIGHLY secure vote by mail used by everyone in the entire state?

    Why should I rely upon your unsubstantiated claims of one state, when we already have evidence that mail-in-voting on a national level is a disaster waiting to happen?

    The Chaos in New York Is a Warning

    The first large-scale test of mail-in voting in the pandemic has left one in five New Yorkers with their votes tossed out.


    https://www.theatlantic.com/politic...-york-election-failure-mail-in-voting/614446/

    More than a month after New York’s June 23 primary elections, state election officials are still counting votes. In some legislative districts, they haven’t even started counting absentee votes. In the best-case scenario, election officials hope to declare winners by the first Tuesday in August—six weeks after Election Day. It might take a lot longer than that. Election officials in New York City have already invalidated upwards of 100,000 absentee ballots—about one of every five that were mailed in from the five boroughs. And furious candidates are already filing lawsuits charging discrimination and disenfranchisement.

    The chaos in New York is a warning about November’s elections: Voting is being transformed by the pandemic. But no state has built new election infrastructure. No state has the time or the money to make sure vote-counting will go smoothly in November. And just about every state is about to be hit with a massive surge of absentee ballots.

    “This is what happens,” a New York election official told me over the phone last week, “when you jury-rig a system that hasn’t been designed or implemented or tested before.”

    Yes, if they do nothing it's not going to work. So, we have Trump working to make sure it doesn't work.

    That's one thing he's pretty darn good at!!

    But, we have MANY states that have efficient and secure systems that have been designed, implemented and tested for years.

    These states that are having trouble should pick one of the working solutions and start using it.

    I wouldn't care either way. It's been done that way in numerous states for a long while now. It seems it's only a problem when the Orange One is on the ballot. I wonder why that is?

    He didn't seem to have so much of a problem with it in 2016.

    If Republicans want to win elections, why don't they actually try to come up with some policies that people want to vote for instead of doing everything they can to try to stop them voting in the first place?

    What was the Republican Party's policy platform at this years RNC Convention?

    Oh yea, that's right it was: "We love you Donny Do and we so, so want you to stay".

    Sure as heck wasn't much else.
