The Official VJ Presidential Election Prediction Thread

Certainly a possibility, especially in the short term. Hopefully it will be held in check.

i don't have much faith in the gop's ability to keep their pants on when trump populism comes knocking for a nooner.

I saw one story that came out last night, but didn't bother to read it or even post it here, cuz I knew you'd just shoot me down without considering it. But yeah, it was online even as Trump was ahead.

Just went to look for it, but can't find it quickly. Did find one "viral video" posted in PA that showed a guy pushing a button for REP, but DEM kept being selected. He illegally videoed it and posted it, but from the sounds of it, it was more of a calibration error than anything.

I would like to get an update on the amount of arrests made for voter fraud on election day. Based on the stories posted here there must have been thousands of arrests made. Anyone have those numbers?

Sounds like the FB of last week and last month. (And VJ, for that matter). Only the faces have changed, not the message.

Gotta love facebook. Depending on who is posting either the world is coming to an end or this is the best day in history. Peeps need to get a grip.

There's a new man in the office soon, Val. The only thing YOU should be focused on is stepping up production of them sammiches. Oh, and add a nice cold beer to the menu, can you? Don't forget to run that vacuum cleaner around the L.R.

But no actual arrests for fraud? That's surprising seeing how widespread the claims are and how everybody in law enforcement knows about those claims.

Most claims of voter fraud are just that, either mechanical or clerical errors.

They certainly are emboldened in the UK, and against white people too, so long as they speak with an accent - even one as ''American'' as you or I.

If there is one thing I have learned about politics, is that men can be bought very easily in a bid for power.

Calibration issues have been ongoing in those machines for a while. Even in my tiny town last election there were votes going for D's that switched to R's. It's strange to me that we have no system that can correct this issue.

I am not arguing either of these points. Mechanical, human, and electronic errors will always abound. But is has been PROVEN that one can modify a memory card without it being traceable, plug it into a Diebold voting machine, and the outcome will be as the memory card decides, not the voters. I cannot say if these machines are still in use, or if that particular hack has been overcome, but it DID exist, and was used, for a bit.

From 2000: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nafAbO5qRrU (Actually court testimony from a person who wrote vote fixing code)

Please note, I am not saying either party used either method. Just stating that it exists.
