            Another election, same issues.


            The excuse? "We can't scan your ballot because the internet is down".

            Why can't we do as good a job as India? They recently held elections. One day in person voting with I.D., votes hand counted in front of witnesses, results by the end of the night. 620 million votes.

            In the good old USA? Weeks of mail-in or drop-off ballots with no verification, using voting machines easily hacked, another month of arguments, and vote tallies higher than the number of registered voters.

            Oh, We're in for a fun year.

              So who is the a-hole? The idiot who revives a dead topic just to start poop or the idiot that replies to them?

              I would blame the GOP. Since this is a GOP primary election, most of the problems can be attributed too republican interference, from lack of investment in infrastructure to actual election interference to voting restrictions. If you wanted free and fair elections, then you should let the adults handle those elections

              Oh, so now your an expert on Indian elections? So tell me, how does their elections differ from those in the US?

              Maybe they didn't have a sore looser who lost his last election, who then threw a monkey wrench into the election machine, without any true, viable and actual evide ce to support his claims, and when the people spoke with their votes, they agreed to what those votes had said.

              Are you talking about the racist USA, in the time when laws were made to disenfranchise certain people from not having the right to vote? The past was the worst.

              Multiple states have different criteria for when they count votes. All believe their method is the best to insure the best results.

              Every vote goes through verification, since all those lawsuits proved that the states did exactly the opposite of what you are saying. You can say anything but where is the proof?

              While any machine theoretically can be hacked, yet there is again, no proof of that.

              Who is really arguing? The people who believe the truth, or the people who don't want to believe the truth?

              Now, this is a new one. More votes than registered voters. Would be easily provable if you discount the dozens of trump supporters who voted early and often.

                          So the system works?

                          But that is all nice and all, but what I really want to know is, will Haley out last all the indictments of the ex-president to win the nomination or not? Come on, you have on going federal indictments running against state GOP moves to remove the ex-president off the ballot and then is the state indictments, all culminating with the ex-president draining every coffer he can to pay legal bills, which only will hurt other republican nominees in their elections.

                          This is a tornado, inside a hurricane, during an earthquake topped with a volcano going off. What disaster is goingto start, or end first?

                            Expert? Far from it, Although I did read Siddhartha back in grade school.
                            Fortunately for you, if you care to pay attention, you'll be able to see it in action this year ~ as soon as they set the date. Projections are late March/ early April.
                            That's one difference for you. India has no set calendar date for elections.
                            But it's mostly the similarities that I observe. Current President Modi is running for his third five-year term (another difference) as a proclaimed "Democrat" and is facing charges of corruption, as well as denouncing the internet as "misinformation" demanding opposing views be censored. Sound a little close to home?

                            A little older, but more in-depth:
                            Concerns raised over what a third term for Narendra Modi would mean for the country amid rising Hindu-Muslim tension


                            From what I see, the process of politics is equal to it's problems whether in India or the US.
                            Keep in mind India has the highest population of any Country at 1.6 billion, higher than China at 1.4 billion. (compared to the measly 375 million in the US)
                            It's a Nuclear armed country, it recently placed a lander on the Moon and has already selected four astronauts for their manned orbital program.

                            I don't need to be some expert to know India is a country to keep an eye on, one that shouldn't be ignored.
                            But you go ahead, make fun of anything outside your ken. Convince yourself that you're talking down to the "slow kids".

                              Yes my parents are/were. It's never hard to do the right thing, all it takes is being better than you were the day before.

                              Well, from history, East Germany went under the name of GDR, the German Democratic Republic. It was neither democratic nor a republic. So to a point, attaching a name means nothing. I know very little to the political situation of Modi and India, so any parallels that you may draw are going to be quite nefarious and lacking any real substance, only because you are not even a learned neophyte on modern day India.

                              Not really. Now this is only surface level scratching but we do not have massive religious problems that India faces(Hindu and Muslim). The US is a none religious state. So unless and until one side wishes and succeeds to push a state religion down the throats of the citizenry, we are not like India in those regards.

                              Now what I see is that you have the big kids at the table and India is getting all it's ducks in a row to become a major global nation. The programs like their space program are there not not only enrich their country but to also kick in the door to the conference to say that they demand a seat at the table and not be told what to do.

                              The thing is, you wrote all that out without saying anything. You laid out a bunch of "stats" but there is no meaning behind them. Where is the why? Where is the reasons behind any of this? Hell, you could have given an opinion on why India was buying up russian oil at low prices, in defiance to western sanctions, and what that meant?

                              Here is another one. You could have had a passing thought on the troubles with India's failures at domestic arms manufacturing and the reasons why it is important for India to make it work. There is an interesting topic.

                              Or, you could have brought up the past 10 years of border conflict of India and Pakistan and why, in these past years of simmering aggression, that this on-going conflict could and probably will erupt again in 5 maybe 10 years.

                              So please talk about how Modi and his party misuse a name to make yourself think you are smart and how that matters, towards you conception of politics.

                                The simple fact is that JOE BIDEN let in 10 million illegal immigrants without vetting any of them. Now they are trying to give them assylum and let them vote. You will be having foreign nationals voting and deciding who gets elected. This is treasonous. Period. The census will include these illegal people in the count giving more house seats to the Communist Democrats. I hope you asswipes that voted for JOE Biden are happy. You have turned this country into a shytehole in 3 years. MAGA muhukker!
