Your explanation makes sense. Because I don't remember the average Democrat in the 90's being anything like the nonsense of todayThe Democrat Left has split into two factions. The classic Left and the Woke Left.
The classic left are people left of center, they engage in dialog they welcome differing opinions they have a sense of humor. For the most part, they are not ideologues stuck in political dogma. Many of us grew up in households where our parents were left-leaning in the '60s.
The woke left seems to be a hybrid of the classic left with a more closed personality. The woke left seem very unhappy with many aspects of daily life, they seem paranoid or suspicious of anyone not displaying a sufficient amount of wokeness. Their ideology is so extreme and unpopular they have to resort to canceling opposing views.
Not much chance of that. We have to virtue signal and the mask hides everything. Probably why people are no longer friendly in public.Be careful not to smile whilst in public for fear of being discovered
Went to a Mexican restaurant yesterday, with no restrictions. Three of us sat where we wanted and without masks. There were smiles all around.Not much chance of that. We have to virtue signal and the mask hides everything. Probably why people are no longer friendly in public.
Back in March, I noted that 18.33% of the signatures on the California recall petition were deemed "invalid". Effectively, the petition is equivilant to a ballot, especially if there is no voter verification associated with the ballot. By extension, one can assume that ballots submitted without proper verification would have a similar "error" rate, or to be less charitable "fraudulent" in nature.and I like that AZ is doing an audit. I think their strategy (perhaps unspoken) is to find a certain number of ballots that will PROVE their point, which is, that the legislation they've proposed which essentially purges 'inactive' voters from the PEVL, will actually do a good thing - it will eliminate certain ballots that never should have been. I'm not sure, but I think that is what they are gunning for - actual proof of the positive effect of the legislation.
For example, in Nevada, the overall rejection rate dropped from 1.6% in 2016 to 0.58% in 2020. In Pennsylvania, the 2016 rejection rate of 1.0% droppedt o virtually nothing at 0.28%. The biggest fall in the overall absentee ballot rejection rate came, however, in Georgia. Its rejection rate fell from 6.8% in 2016 to a mere 0.34% in 2020.
I'm sure it will turn out as intended.and I like that AZ is doing an audit.

i've always felt that being on our PEVL was quite a privilege, actually, and to reduce its permanence to something that requires you to at least say I'm Still Alive every 5 years (after not voting) hardly seems like an undue burden!
