Are you tired of being totally roasted over your knee-jerk conspiratorial cynicism or what? Because what you're saying is utter nonsense.

Before we get serious: when you see someone wearing a shirt that says "El Presidente" or a button that has "#1" on it, do you go "Oh poo poo, that guy is in charge..."?

Oh, I get it. You literally know nothing about Canadian politics and just make poo poo up because you can't read a newspaper. Sorry about coming in here with my "knowledge" and "education" and "actual experience in politics on the Hill" you could read "The Longer I'm Prime Minister" for a good primer

I have something Kansas related! I work at a natural history museum just outside of Kansas City and the other day, after I was done giving a tour and talking about dinosaurs, a group of parents came up to me and said that while everything in the museum was very interesting they noticed an appalling lack of God being mentioned or any attention given to the creation story. So until we get that part straightened out they won't be able to come back with their children. They did, however, appreciate that I mentioned Kansas used to be covered by a great inland sea for a number of years. Thank you for the constructive criticism, church goers!

I have something Kansas related too. I was born there and every day I thank god that our family was moved to another military base only a few years after my birth. I look through the mirror at the alternate timeline where I grew up in Kansas, and I shudder. Also it's true, there are no trees.

The only reason it was done was because they were giving away the land if you planted the trees around it. I'm not sure there was a lesson learned in the end.

So Kris Kobach is filing to not have the paper voting records from the last election released because it would be too hard: http://cjonline.com/news/2015-08-24/kris-kobach-seeks-block-release-voting-machine-paper-tapes quote:Lehman told a Sedgwick County District Court judge in a separate filing last week production of the tapes would be “unnecessarily burdensome” because the material can’t easily be copied. Each person’s vote in the 2013 election takes up about 27˝ inches of the electronic machine’s paper trail. Each roll from the 2014 election is 385 feet long, and stored in 42 boxes that aren’t segregated by precinct or voting district. If I'm the judge, I say "Well you do a lovely job of keeping records then because what else can these records ever be used for?"

Is there any real reason a vote needs to take up two feet worth of paper, besides making it hard to recount/review?

spacemang_spliff posted:I wouldn't put that scumfuck Kobach above voter fraud at all. As a current JoCo resident yeah voter fraud would make a lot of sense One thing I haven't seen pointed out in the thread yet (though I basically only read the first 3 and last 3 pages) is that Brownback almost lost to a loving 3rd party independent last election cycle because he was so loathed. There was an enormous fight over trying to keep the Democratic Party's candidate on the ballot (he wanted to give up and withdraw) because the Kansas GOP knew it would split the vote. It did in a number of districts, of course, and the combined Indep + Dem percentage would have been about even with Brownback so they were probably right to fight it so hard because the Kansas GOP could have very well lost to an Independent, which would've been humongous lol. Kevin Yoder also won on a 40/60 margin last cycle, which would be impressive if he weren't running against a single Libertarian candidate who didn't have a single out-of-state dollar in his entire budget and an overall budget so low he didn't even have the most token recognition campaign going. The Democratic party didn't even bother to advance a candidate against Yoder. This is literally 40% of Yoder's district voting against him out of spite. Anyway I can confirm that eastern Kansas is generally p cool and interesting. The food is loving amazing, even vegetarian fare is pretty easy to find and it's all great & pretty cheap compared to high dining further west. The local beer is basically all good as hell, there's like a dozen microbreweries in KC (there should be about a dozen more by the local population though) and there's also a ton in Lawrence. They all basically know what they're doing. There are also a couple of wineries in eastern Kansas that are surprisingly not poo poo. While nobody's competing with Napa Valley any time soon you can get a pretty competent bottle of 10 dollar wine with a pretty distinctive flavor and body from local wineries, which is more than you can say for most midwestern states. god help you if you get to Topeka or further west though.
