Why would somebody

[gregj410]

Yep.

It does beg the question of what happened to the other 80 million people who didn't vote?

Keep in mind that YouTube maybe a source of disinformation and in Chucks words you should

Always view it critically.

more than 2 candidates received votes Many people felt that none of the candidates deserved their vote. What those numbers are i don't know

I suspect that they stayed home out of a mix of disgust for the entire process and people, and also there was a pandemic ongoing that in some parts of the country was at the time non-trivial.

If you ignore a problem it doesn't go away. It just changes and it usually gets worse, often times much worse.

and also there was a pandemic ongoing that in some parts of the country was at the time non-trivial.

Absentee ballot? Colorado has supported mail in voting for anyone that chose to for a number of years. Deb and I have been voting absentee for about six or seven years (62 used to be the age limit). Just before the pandemic a state ballot proposal opened this up to anyone that is of voting age can request a mail in ballot without requiring a reason. Plus you don't have to mail it back in, you can drop it off. Our township set up a drop box outside the township hall right next to the box where you drop off your taxes, water bills, parking fines, .... (aka treasurer's stuff).

Despite this last election being one of the heaviest voter turnouts in just over a century (65%) it still lags behind Sweden (82%), South Korea (77.9%), Israel (77.9%), Germany (69.1%), and France (67.9%). We have lower voter turnout than Mexico (68%).

7 to 10 million Biden votes were illicit ballots done by the democrat party.

Yes, all true. Also, not relevant.

Was just answering the question and what possibly goes through the minds of the people in our country.

Can't presume rational thought is involved in their decision making.
Can't presume that they are in possession of good information for making rational decisions.

And here's a prime example of lacking rational thought is involved in decision making combined with not being in possession of good information for making rational decisions.

People just make stuff up.... Hey! Let's go back to 2016 and claim that millions of illicit ballots done by the republican party! Nope. Didn't happen. Or did it? Let's start more absurd conspiracy theories and lies just for the sheer fun of it all.

It’s only made up if It doesn’t align with your ideology. The Democrats were to busy rigging the election in favor of Killary. When that didn’t work they spent the next 4 years trying to impeach Donald Trump.

Dies anybody ever cross reference death and voter registration? What percentage of no show voters are no longer with us?

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Dies anybody ever cross reference death and voter registration?

Yup. That's how they caught the guys last year in PA that tried to register their dead mothers (and MiL in one case) so they could stuff the box for Trump.

That's the spirit! Except they didn't try to impeach Donald Trump for 4 years - Democrats did not have control of the House the 1st 2 years but don't let any facts get in your way of re-writing reality,

[gregj410]

A hah ha ha.....a hah ha ha ......that’s a real knee slapper whetstone boy. Did you come up with that on your own??? I’ve been laughing for days. You got me on a technicality you clever boy you!

[MurphOnMillerAve]

Why do I keep getting phone-calls from Donald Trump; well, at least a recording of his voice with some retarded (no doubt) self-serving message, though I have not listened to it beyond a few seconds. Does anybody else, here on MTJ , get calls from him?
I have to wonder why I was chosen for such a dishonor (?)

Good - that's good for you - laughter is good medicine. Too many don't laugh enough....

Same answer as last time......you fit a demographic that they are targeting. Why a billionaire needs your money is a more amusing question.

I don't get calls from any politician - land line is effectively blocked and locked. Only robo-calls that I get is the daily one about the warranty that about to expire on my 11 year old car........and even that one has dropped off.
