Fuzz claiming the math is easy, when he flubbed his actual attempt to do the math a couple days ago, is quite comical.
POLITICAL THREAD
- Thread starter kybobcat
- Start date
Elections are run by elected officials. It's their prime job. Why do you keep putting the on citizens to figure out the system details vs. the officials creating & operating a good system? You sound like a Lib blaming the victims. No idea how many polls have 4 hour lines. I know a lot have them over an hour & that alone is absurd.
But now people know how he & the Deep State have been screwing over the country.
And Romney carried college graduates 51-47 over Obama despite his waxing on about college kids taking Humanities and whatnot that improved their world view.
I assume the Lexington Herald/ Daniel Cameron cartoon was discussed on this forum ? I've never seen a more racist ad in my life and it makes it way to print in a large state wide newspaper . Its sick , and should not be tolerated . I wont even name the pile of dog shit's name that drew it up ..
You know what else is expensive?
- Taking care of people who failed to take care of themselves because they lacked the access to the care needed.
- Taking care of people in emergency rooms because they don't have insurance.
- Massive duplication of resources
- A healthcare system that in incentivised to keep you in the system and on medication.
- Cost shifting
hell no .. saw it on Daniel's FB page . Horrible political cartoon . Horrible.

None of that happened RQ, that's the point. Again, you're assuming or making up something. There is an ongoing investigation into the start of the Russia investigation. Tying aid to help in that investigation is not illegal nor corrupt, even though Trump never mentioned the aid nor did the Ukrainian President know the aid was withheld at that point.
Digging up dirt or hrlping Trump's campaign was never mentioned, you assuming it doesn't make it true no matter how many times you say it.
Where are they over an hour long in wait time for the entire or even most of the day. I'm not making excuses, but damn people have some responsibility in voting.
Why are there lines? Is it due to shortage of voting stations, broken down equiptment, rush of voters at a certain time.?
Bill, how many people have the ability to go to the polls at whatever time of day?
I have no idea, but a lot of people go before work. My point was this, if there is an actual shortage of voting stations in areas then that can be addressed. However, if the voting station numbers are similar how do you correct that?
It could be a variety of issues: broken machines, not enough volunteers, not enough polling sites in a city (for instance, Phoenix used to have 200 polling sites about 10 years ago, but now have closer to 60), not enough early voting days, voter ID places tend to move a bit slower, etc. Now what is actually the cause of all of these problems is open to debate. Regardless, it needs to be fixed. I would love to say that I would stand in line for 3+ hours to vote, but I don't know if I actually would have the patience to do it.
You do realize it is against the law for an employer to penalize an employee for going to vote during working hours.What in the world are you trying to say now?
Not everyone has time to vote?
Is it actually a problem though, or are the few places that actually have an issue get highlighted the most.
I just read a study from this year, 78-83% of voters were in and out, only a few exceptions of the other 20 % were longer than an hour.
All I'm saying is that in a country of 320 million going to vote, there's going to be some hiccups along the way.
Im shocked to see you posting this Austin. I thought you guys considered Silver a left wing puppet since he botched the election predictions so badly? (Even though in reality, he didn’t.)
No just in general if you post it's guaranteed to be complete nonsense and useless.
127 million people voted in 2016. If 5% of them waited longer than an hour, that is still 6.3 million. Even 2.5% would be over 3 million. I would consider that to be a problem. It seems like urban areas are the ones that have the most consistent issues. I know in my city it seems like it happens in every big election and the news crews are always down there filming it. I did read a clip where they said about 5% in the 2012 election had to wait longer than an hour
Doesnt he work for a medicaid provider? All of the Medicaid providers here in KY are so far behind on payments. Bc who cares...nothing will happen to them. It's bad too considering Medicaid pays like 2 dollars a doctor visit. Hospitals are just eating the cost.
That's what Medicaid 4 all really is...medicaid for all. And when the costs get tight, which they clearly will, then you start getting told what you can and cant get for care.
I'm unsure what has convinced ppl that the government can do anything. The same ppl that cant get drivers licenses printed out in a timely manner without 10 ppl doing the job of 2 want to take care of my health..lol okay
Those same people will gladly line up and wait for hours the night before Black Friday.

Mainly not enough voting stations when the stations are machines vs. paper ballots. Only so many folks can vote at one time in those instances. Not having paper ballots is ignorant. They can be handed out like candy at Halloween & it takes 5 seconds for the reader to do its job.
When I worked polls, longest lines of the day normally were when people lined up waiting for them to open.
People don't realize it, but KY has one of the most efficient voting & counting systems in the country. Normally 99% of votes are counted within 1-2 hours of polls closing. Sheriff deputies and county clerk office workers are waiting for the automated voting tabulations from the polls & those are quickly delivered to the clerk's office for machine counts which are matched to the polling station counts. The paper ballots remain in the poll ballot reader machines for 30 days if someone wants a hand recount. Why other states are so screwed up escapes me. Well, actually I'm not. States don't want to put money into the systems as KY has.
