I think suggesting you “proved” anything is a little disingenuous. I may have missed the post where you refuted that eliminating the largest demographic from consideration for any position was going to increase the likelihood of having the best folks in place.

For appointed jobs, we automatically eliminate the other main party, Libertarians, and independents. No matter who wins, we eliminate over 1/2 of the country simply based on a criteria that they don't donate big money to the winning party.

That reminds me of the 2000 election when they were claiming the ballot was so confusing that people didn't know how to vote yet, if I recall correctly, they gave ballot to 2nd or 3rd graders and told them to vote for Gore and they didn't heve any problems doing it. I do think there are some on both sides that are really too dumb to vote. Maybe dumb is the wrong word but there are some that have no idea what they are voting for.

Only Dade county didn’t know how to poke a hole in a ballot

According to the less reputable members of my family, that whole area east of Hobson is getting "too dark."

I drove through Arlington Park about 15 years ago and it looked 'old'. What I remembered as a fairly new addition looked like it had aged quite a bit. Used to be nothing between there and town, but it's filled in now with houses and businesses.

I don't know about "too dark," but I feel as if these homes haven't aged all that well and the values have drifted into the range of a poorer demographic than would have been the case 40 years ago. My mom's neighborhood is east of Maplecrest but a bit further north, near Rothman Road. They built that house in the late 1970's when the neighborhood was new. Today they all look a bit run down, and I tend to think that the build quality common at that time was just not at the highest level. Everything seems cheap. But mom's neighborhood has drifted more towards the demographic that I'm imagining might include the less reputable members of Goat's family. Though he was a lawyer so the notion of "less reputable" than that is actually rather disturbing.

The Washington Game seemed like it had more people in the stands but the Nebraska crowd was more juiced in my opinion. Probably because the Nebraska game was a bit more up tempo so the cheering was just consistent. The Washington game had its moments but that was more of a grind it out 2nd half so no real explosive plays to get the crowed going. I will say I felt the energy before the Washington game was a lot more electric than the Nebraska game which I didn't think would be possible. Can't wait to see what Michigan and Purdue games are going to be like.

We need to lower the bar. As an educated man, I can safely say that education is highly overrated.

Well you certainly sound edgee cated.

Hate to dog on Tom Allen but it sure looks like Katic was in the wrong position at guard.

Are we to infer that only Republicans do this from your post, or just indicative of your bias?

Most people, like me, that want election security don’t care who the perpetrators are, they just want secure elections.

Anyone can do it. Anyone, and that is the problem l. This is a weakness we know about. We HAD a solution for it until Florida dropped out triggering sheep states to follow.

But in all the talk of voter fraud here, I am the only one that mentions it. Why do you think that is? Could it be that Whites of some means are more likely to move between states, and we care less about them illegally voting? Hence why we here so much about possible fraud in ATL or PHI and not the suburbs yet Biden won because of the suburbs.

Watch: IU football’s Ponds, Wedig and Tucker — Michigan State week Q&A sessions

Watch as IU football’s D’Angelo Ponds, Trey Wedig and Tyrique Tucker met with the media on Tuesday in Bloomington. No. 13 Indiana (8-0, 5-0) will travel to Michigan State (4-4) for a 3:…

www.thedailyhoosier.com

I thought Tucker sort of embodied the mindset of the entire team..., and he reiterated what others have said about feeding off the crowd energy...

Fans really can help these guys when they show up, stick around and get into the game vocally... We've finally created a legit Home Field Advantage for these guys... Let's keep it up...

Being in attendance for the homecoming game against Nebraska truly was a 12th man on the field situation. I was shocked at the electric energy that was pulsing throughout the stadium.

I wonder which game had more crowd juice, Nebraska or Washington? The only sporting event I've been to with more juice was when the Colts beat the Patriots at the old RCA Dome. However, that game was inside and the noise couldn't escape AND it was the AFC Championship game! The Colts went on to beat the Bears in the Super Bowl. I'm not even sure it had more juice but I think it did.

All federal jobs? Where were you in the thread on appointments where I proved we already do not consider the "best" qualified as a criteria.

I do get that sentiment, all these low information "the election was stolen" voters do tax my faith, not to mention create fear of more massive mental illness issues in our nation than ever suspected. But they should be allowed to vote, it is a bedrock principle.

Not related to the skirmish at the end but MSUs top linebacker is out for the first half because of a targeting call in the 2nd half against Michigan.

Thank God Trump called everyone's attention to the possibilities of voter fraud so that fraudulent Republican voters can be caught.

Given we agree the OP was outrageous, how do you feel about this scam from a progressive PAC?

Marvin the Martian said:

But we know a very large potential source of fraud, people moving from one state to another. We had a compact that would look and report the to be removed from the old state. But as part of it, states were required to send postcards to non voters encouraging them to register. Republican states did not like that and dropped out. So the millions that have moved states remain registered in all.

A pretty big risk of fraud for not wanting to send a postcard.

Wby should the stetes or anyone have to remind you to encourage you to vote? If a person doesn't know they can register and vote then they are too dumb to vote.
