flat line
The fatal flaw, is that the vote is supposed to be anonymous, so no one can get paid for voting a certain way by providing proof to a ballot harvester.
That is why mail-in votes are supposed to be separated from envelopes and supporting documents before being counted.
Of course, that was before the era of mail-in voting and cameras on every smartphone, so maybe your way will work. Interesting, we seem to have gone full circle on election security.
Probably be easier if a thumbprint has to be put on the paper ballot after applying the purple dye.
The ultimate in voter ID.
Understand you want the video as additional proof, but the thumbprint would make checking the video only necessary when prosecuting those who still try to game the system, like trying to vote twice using bogus or former addresses and the like.
Joe is not willingly missing a potential scam and another big pay-off.
The only question is whether the Dims have the will to go nuclear on his ass.
They can 25th him (but all he has to do is send a letter saying he is fine).
They can push the GOP committees to impeach him now instead of after the election.
They can pull a coup at the convention, change the rules (just watch 'em), and push him out there.
Since I don't see the 25th as an option, or see them setting a precedent of impeaching one of their own. I smell fuckery at the convention.
Good question.
I assume they'd have to scramble, but most of the normal blue controlled states would likely pull some kind of executive order (likely unlawful, but ignored, like all mail ballots and drop boxes during Covid) and get the replacement on enough state ballots to try to get to 270. Some might change the rules that the vote is for the Dimocrat candidate, no matter who it is, instead of the Potato that is listed on the ballot.
Lots of court cases in any event. Lots of popcorn to eat.
I'm hoping the fight to replace Biden is the event that fractures the 'D' party.
They have already pitted transgenders against women, Jews against Hamas, aging hippies against warmongers, Blacks against illegals, and on and on. Some life-long democrats already have had enough with the communist and socialist wings of the party.
A fight whether to dump or keep Joe might just be the tipping point.
