Its also not a given that the voting laws they put in to combat an imaginary problem will disproportionately impact Dems. They have already done things like quietly close precincts in urban areas to create long lines in the name of efficiency and budgets, but the laws that come from voting fraud scares usually revolve around making it difficult to vote early or by mail. Dems usually benefit from voting early, but the GOP often benefits from voting by mail due to older voters. The last election was a bit different due to COVID and Democrats wanting to avoid contact, but historically the GOP has counted on their older voters being able to mail in their ballots easily.

I have a friend who was doing electoral work in the 2010 Maryland Gubernatorial race (He wasn't working for a particular campaign, he was part of his county's election board) and he told me of how Bob Ehrlich(R) was heavily leaning on telling people to vote by mail or vote absentee. He still lost by like 15% and was also found to have been attempting voter suppression via faked robocalls (but there was enough separation between him and the PAC doing it to avoid charges sadly), but the point still exists that he saw mail-in and absentee ballots as a positive for him. It's interesting to see how in just 10 years Republicans flipped from relying on absentee/mail-in votes to denouncing them as a liberal plot to rig elections at the dumbest possible time to try that move.

Because no one is forging your registration and going to vote in your stead because it’s pretty good odds they’d be caught. In sparse areas the people waiting to vote with you are your neighbors and in dense areas you show up later and are told you already voted and you prove who you are then (or you can’t and get arrested) and the other vote gets tossed.

Meanwhile voter registration can and does get used all the loving time to disenfranchise people. “You said your name is Shaniqa and the card says shanequa, you don’t get to vote”

Who doesn’t have set signatures? Young people and old people so many of them also get disenfranchised and historically have voted left.

There is no voter fraud in any meaningful measure so anything meant to stop voter fraud likely has unintended or other consequences.

Also whatever voter fraud is found is usually overwhelmingly done by Republicans. Funny that.

Weird. I'm a Boomer and I was never taught that. To this day, my signature is not the same page to page, to the extent that an agent once made me re-sign multiple pages of a closing document because they don't match well enough. I should fix that, but it's low on the list of things about myself that need fixing.

I have the same issue but I'm a millenial and I don't think we were ever really taught this especially because it really doesn't seem that important given how my generation grew up with those electronic signature pads that never work properly or accurately :v:

That said I do try to make my signature at least close.

Isn't the machine Rudy showed off different from the one the files came from? Like, apple and windows different?

Something like that. The important thing to remember is that at the time John Paul Mac Issac was trying to give the files to Trump, Rudy, et. al, the laptop was already in the hands of the FBI. Mac Issac had made a copy of the files before giving it over to the FBI, and those files are I think the only ones we've actually seen, many of which were added after the laptop was in Mac Issac's hands. Hence why the prevailing theory now might be using hacked iCloud data.

The one constant about Republicans and their allies: they don't want to do work. They would rather hand it off to someone else (projection again of course) and then whinge when they don't get the results they imagined. Shirking responsibility so they can yell at someone for not going along with the masquerade.

I imagine Cannon making the same face Paul Ryan had in every photo when he was in any sort of position of leadership.
