    Six mail boxes were removed from Oakland yesterday. The alleged reason was demonstrations, although Oakland demonstrations have been largely peaceful and there have been protests e Oakland forever without hurting mail.

    Anyone who believes this was AG Barr destroy(ing) CNN is probably the same group of people who believe vaccines cause autism, pedophiles meet in a pizza place and the earth is flat.

    As Barr mentioned, there is a difference between mail-in voting and absentee voting. He addressed that rather succinctly, I thought.

    They know why. They won't admit it though. It was the other side doing this we would be hearing from them nonstop about it.

    Meanwhile, Trump is telling his supporters to vote twice and commit fraud.

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-vote-twice-north-carolina-mail-ballot-illegal-fraud-162756363.html

    "North Carolina officials condemned President Trump for encouraging North Carolinians to try to vote twice, an attempt to “sow chaos” in the state’s election, according to the state attorney general.

    On Wednesday, Trump told supporters in the state they should try to vote twice, once by mail and once in person, as a test of the security of the election process — and incidentally a way to have their vote counted twice if election officials mistakenly allow it.

    Voting twice is illegal — as is encouraging others to do so."

    My God, Barr is seriously (and serially) stupid (or intentionally obtuse). Anyone who makes an effort to investigate the states that have (and have had) a vote by mail system will find (time and time and time again) that voter fraud has been minuscule.....and that those who cheat get caught. Trump and Barr cite cases where the fraudsters got nailed, but in their twisted world that proves mail in voting doesn’t work. Dumbshits, absolute dumbshits. If they have all these examples of voter fraud by mail, it underlines that the system DOES work, that cheaters get caught. Trump and Barr can and do lie, but the available information does not. And it screams very loudly that they are lying, cheating con men and grifters. And anyone who believes them is just as bad.
