Pentagon stresses it will play no role in the election

The US military is adamant that it will not play a role settling election disputes with its top uniformed officer, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley clearly setting out the Pentagon's position in a letter to Congress last month.

"The Constitution and laws of the US and the states establish procedures for carrying out elections, and for resolving disputes over the outcome of elections ... I do not see the US military as part of this process," Milley said in the letter to two members of the House Armed Services Committee.

Each year the Athenian citizens could hold a vote to exile one of their own.
The voters would write the name of whoever they wished to exile on a pottery shard, called an Ostrakon. Hence the word ostracism

If an Athenian politician was seen as too power hungry, a potential tyrant, or just a dangerously delusional asshat, he would find himself in danger of being exiled.
This is a something we need to bring back.
 
And we wasted a perfectly good Tesla to launch into space when a dozen crooked politicians would have worked just as well...
 
Many Trump supporters have swallowed his lies that the only way a Biden win is possible will be because the elections was rigged, stolen. If Trump loses in Nov., I fully expect there to be violence by his supporters which Trump will either foment or, at the very least, not speak out against.

Two supporters express their opinion that a Trump loss will only happen due to a rigged election at the 3:30 mark.

I put this in the same category as cats and dogs getting a vote. It's quirky and weird and makes for click bait.

The real concern would be in the supply chain of counting- and deciding which ones can be rejected for valid reasons. It is a big job this year!
Cross fingers for no hanging chads.

How long until we find out that it was Republican operatives who dumped and then "found" those ballots in Pennsylvania?

In a statement, county officials said the issue regarding nine military ballots was caused by a "temporary seasonal independent contractor" who "incorrectly discarded (the ballots) into the office trash" within their first three days of work helping the elections office. On the third day, Luzerne County Elections Director Shelby Watchilla realized what had happened and opened an investigation, and the contractor "was removed from service and informed not to return."
The officials called this an "error" and said the fact that it was quickly noticed and investigated proves that "the system of checks and balances set forth in Pennsylvania elections works."

Yep, SEVEN ballots is huge, widespread voter fraud.

Most districts and states are not good about having accurate up-to-date voter rolls.
Seems Florida, and a few other states did a lot of work to clean up the lists of valid voters at valid current addresses- unrelated to Covid.

So in some areas, ballots are sent for everyone registered- often in error.
Requesting one from your current mailing address makes for more control.

e.g., I used to live in Nevada and never 'unregistered', so are they sending me a ballot at my old address? Is this cross referenced with California? Will I be getting one at my old Ohio address too?

If anyone had some unbiased factual info that can explain, I'd appreciate it!
It would need to go state by state since they all have their own processes.
I suppose people would only be interested in the States in play- so about 8 or 9 of them?

Why don't you do your part by notifying your previous state that you no longer live there. See, for example, the post by Fast Eddie just before your post..

It’s occurred to me that I may never have officially “unregistered” in FL when I moved to GA in 2005. I’m going to call later today to confirm I’ve been “purged”.

I called this afternoon and the Broward County clerk confirmed that I did in fact show as “moved out of state”. I don’t recall informing them of my move but I may have, or there may be some other mechanism where they figured out my move, maybe involving my drivers license change or tax status or change in mailing address or just inactivity in elections for about 15 years.

As an aside, I was 13th in a hold queue and held for maybe 15 minutes to get a real person. Pretty forgivable, given the import of the upcoming election.

When I moved from Florida to Pennsylvania, I didn't contact any agency of any kind in Florida about it. One of them still ended up mailing something straight to me, not forwarded through the Post Office, so they knew my new address. Stranger yet, the thing they mailed to me was a jury summons. They knew where I was well enough to send something straight to me, but not well enough to notice that it meant there was no way I'd ever be on their jury.

When I moved, my college somehow found out my new address and their alumni association continued sending me solicitations for donations.

Can someone ask Democratic leaders, including BLM, if they will commit to a peaceful continuation of the Trump administration should Trump win reelection?

I have to agree that it might be a good idea to split America into two countries. The Red part would have police and electricity while the Blue part would be a charred hellscape. That way, everyone gets what they want.

I actually DID look- afterwards. And I am not registered there any longer. Not sure how it works.
It had not even occurred to me until I wrote that post. I was just sharing a 'possibility' that floated into my head on that day.

I sort of thought it worked like taxes and car regos and drivers licenses---they move with you. I didnt know though.
Actually, I still dont know really how it is done.
 
Also I finally found a"Biden" flag in my swing-ish district (lots of Trump flags!)

It is an older couple and I thought that perhaps they just decided to fly both flags and have two different colored chairs to sit in. Like James Carville and his wife, or Kellyanne Conway and George. It was funny enough for my to stop and take a photo...

But then I noticed something odd in the lettering:

I think the second part was still Adams, not Swoop.

Anyhow, the only vote that's going to matter in this election will be either 6-3 or 5-4 in favor of Trump.
