Are you watching 60 MINUTES ?
I told you that they would "digitize" us.

They need to do it yesterday...our shields are down 25% and worsening, Captain!

They will find a way to overcome that obstacle (probably by digitizing us as individuals).

They still have not created a digital infrastructure that can withstand a major burp from our sun.
With so much investment of digital memory of everything we do, everything would be lost forever.

Shame....

I agree.
However this world is becoming increasingly digital so eventually everything will be done by computer.

I will thankfully be gone by then.

Only by absentee ballot which wasn't sent to us.

Hope you are wrong...voting should always remain an in-person thing, no matter how advanced tech or society gets...all bets are off as of now due to the idiocy of things theses days.

Could you have voted where you came from?

I can see voting day as a national holiday and it will be the only day that you will be allowed to vote.

It will (of course) evolve from there into limited-time online voting with stop-gap measures to discourage voter fraud.

This will take awhile to implement because...well...it's "government".
(...what can I say?)

My husband and I were kept from voting at all.
We had requested absentee (which were never sent) and we hadn't lived in Florida for 30 days at that point so:
"no voting for Teri".

Laughing...I like that better...

Probability of US population will show over 200 million eligible.

In basics...we agree. I like 3/5ths....maybe 2.7/5ths...LOL!

Good question. Here's another: Does that include those that voted more than once, those that are not citizens, those that were dead or had moved away, those that were harvested and those that weren't even old enough to vote?

...and what about those who's votes were never counted, thrown out or just didn't vote at all, by themselves or someone else?

...and they want generic mail in ballots?!?!?!?!?!

135,719,982 Americans who voted in 2016 ?
Are there that many eligible voters?

Instead of adding votes, we should be taking away votes...no votes for anyone not totally invested in the country. No voting for anyone under 21 unless they are in the military. One Must have a Job and pay town or city taxes...which is the only place where a small portion of our hard earned value should go.

PLUS... we should apply the 3/5ths law upon all cities. Cities create dependence and negate self sufficient responsibility.

Exactly...

As I see historic acts and trends, the outcome of Suffrage's unintended consequence undermined the Representative Republic and changed the clime to that of Democracy.
Everyone gets a vote...hmmm. The philosophical Is/Ought solution could have been remedied by designation of women as co-holders of real properties through the mechanism of marriage.

The only remedy I can foresee is something of the nature in leveraged voting power, where real property and employment stake-holding is is a multiplier of the individual vote.
Everyone gets one vote.
Real-Estate single owners get one extra for only one property
Business owners may get another for owning real productive property.
Business owners that employ more than "X" in a community may be leveraged another.

Although not thought out to extremes, this is a proposed method of diffusing mass media influence, takes power away from lobbying, promotes a more conscientious search for representation for government positions.....definitely brings all issues closer to objective interaction in communities.

I'm open to comment and insight that augments or modifies implementation of some sort of balancing

Ballot Harvesting and Mass Mail-In Ballots will cost us this election!

The other side has said they will cheat.

The phrase "By Any Means Necessary" literally means cheating (Especially if Rioting/Looting is considered "Mostly Peaceful" protests... And they can question WHY Protests should be peaceful (ignoring the 1st A))

"The Commission should worry primarily about disenfranchisement. Alas, mass-mail-in-ballots are perfect for making votes vanish. According to the USPS’s inspector general, for 2018, “We found that the Postal Service’s nationwide service performance score for Election and Political Mail was 95.6 percent, or slightly below its goal of 96 percent.”"
