Approximately 3 seconds on Google revealed this Republican from North Carolina (but maybe he's the very, very, very only one ever and probably falsely accused right).
So, ballot harvesting is still illegal and prosecuted in states where Republicans control the legislature? No shite, sherlock.
Don't deflect with anecdotal bullshite. Democrats want ballots mailed out en masse, elimination of voter ID, legalized ballot harvesting, and legalized proxy voting. All of those are well established facts. It is painfully clear that the intent is to strip away any measure that ensures the integrity of the vote and to remove preventive controls over fraud.

There's certainly voter fraud just like there's fraud with everything but those examples don't really make a case for the "mass fraud" fear porn Tide Saint is selling. No more than the small percentage of kids getting rare conditions from Covid means all kids need to be quarantined.
I'm also sure a lot goes on in places like Uniontown Alabama -- perhaps the poorest area I've personally seen in the entire United States -- that may not be the best example to consider for national policy.
I'm not sure that widespread, organized voter fraud could be pulled off in a national election either. It would take too many people - and the more you add to any criminal enterprise the more likely it is to get exposed.
My point was more to the general risk and particularly to local elections which often happen concurrently with state and nation ones - where the number of conspirators can be kept small. That's where we saw the cases. They also didn't happen in areas where there were competitive partisan races. Overwhelmingly, they were in areas where one party dominated or the races were non-partisan. When you've got team red vs team blue they're watching each other.
As far as which "side" is worse, in Alabama more of the cases have been in areas that are D strongholds but they certainly don't hold a monopoly. The votes with beer buying sheriff candidate (tried very hard to find a link but it was like 2001, 2002) was an R. It doesn't matter which side does it, it's wrong. Everyone in Uniontown votes D but we should still make it a critical priority to see they get the D candidate they really want instead of the one that's better at stuffing the box.

So, anyway, back to COVID.
This article is a long read for sports board posters, but it is an interesting look at T cell immunity.

Including this interesting nugget.

Indeed, that is more or less what was recently found by Youyang Gu, to date the best modeler of pandemic spread in the U.S. In an analysis last updated August 5, Gu wrote that the disease was spreading much faster in June and July than it had been at the outset of the disease (in the period often referred to as “exponential growth”), with about 450,000 estimated new cases every day in June and July, compared to about 300,000 in March and April. But in that data appeared to be something of a silver lining:
quote:
Looking at the data, we see that transmissions in many severely impacted states began to slow down in July, despite limited interventions. This is especially notable in states like Arizona, Florida, and Texas. While we believe that changes in human behavior and changes in policy (such as mask mandates and closing of bars/nightclubs) certainly contributed to the decrease in transmission, it seems unlikely that these were the primary drivers behind the decrease. We believe that many regions obtained a certain degree of temporary herd immunity after reaching 10-35 percent prevalence under the current conditions. We call this 10-35 percent threshold the effective herd immunity threshold.

Which is why California made unlimited ballot harvesting legal.

1. Evolved Simian said and I quote:
2. I provide one case among many where a Republican was also convicted for ballot harvesting to counter Evolved Simian's typically hysterical BS.
3. Evolved Simian:
The pattern is clear for this poster, Evolved Simian, who responded like an arrogant arse about long delays in Covid tests a couple of weeks ago. He was 100% wrong but still completely disappeared when evidence such as the actual websites of the national testing companies explaining their delays was posted.
Ignorance + arrogance is a dangerous combination.
I'm going to let him and all the people here who seem to enjoy this type posting to your Trump worship thread, unchecked.

Yep.
And yes, I was being hyperbolic, but you were being deliberately deceitful, and are still posting bullshite to deflect from your party's obvious attempts in multiple states to create a system for vote manipulation.

I don't even know what this is about. If I disappeared, it's because I wasn't reading the thread. And clearly I haven't disappeared. I'm here now.

Ah, yes. The hallmark of the unintelligent response. Make the thread about your boogeyman, rather than the topic at hand.

Holy fricking shite, are you talking about this?
quote:
Is this regional?
I'd like to see some factual data on this. I know dozens of people who have been tested. To my knowledge, none has waited longer than 5 days for a result, and that was two months ago. The two most recent, both tested Thursday, waited 6 hours and 1 day, respectively.
I literally asked to see data because my experience had been different and I didn't have knowledge of those delays. THAT'S what you think is being an arrogant arse?
Jesus Christ, you are both an arrogant and ignorant piece of shite with his panties in a wad over an internet post from three weeks ago that you apparently lacked the intellect to understand.
Just so we're clear here, as wm72 has told us many times, he is from Brooklyn, and therefore is the COVIDmaster. If you ever dare insult his absolute authority as COVIDmaster by asking for further details, you are an "arrogant arse", and a "Trump worshiper". Maybe we should post this in the OP so that everybody knows the rules.

Bear, we’re back to tears this morning. Her top 2 choices dropped her for the pref round so she’s got one choice she’s ok with and one she really would rather not. She’s thinking of suicide bidding. Glad I wasn’t a girl and glad I wasn’t into this shite in college.
Posted on 8/15/20 at 1:35 pm to phil4bama
Damn . Hate that . Yea got two girls and they are so emotional 
. Hope she gets the one she is ok with . I think she will from my little understanding of this shite . Hope they get to stay on campus fir her to get the experience. Bama has a good schedule this year and it would be fun

Sorority rush sounds cutthroat. I wasn't in a Greek organization when I was in college, so this is a little alien to me. Can only freshmen rush? Could she wait until next year and get in one of her original choices?
Posted on 8/15/20 at 1:53 pm to Evolved Simian
It is brutal. Daughter cried everyday last year during rush I think. This years freshmen has to do it virtual and it was as good as the University could do under the circumstances I guess but not as thorough as years past . Girls were scored off of a video the first round

More "fear porn" regarding mail-in voting:
Yeah, that's certainly not going to be exploited, right?
quote:
So the PA Dept of State, in its filing today, says mail ballots should be counted if they are received by Friday after Election Day (Nov. 6) and are postmarked by Election Day; have no postmark; or have illegible postmarks. Only reject them if they are postmarked after E-Day.

Plasma study shows promise.

My mother and 3 other relatives had this therapy when they were in the hospital in July. My mother received it and started feeling better after one day and has recovered tremendously. She's in her 70s.
If you know someone who has recovered from the virus, PLEASE encourage them to donate blood for plasma use. This could be another treatment to help us get back to normal.

Yeah, I’m praying she gets a bid from her preferred one. She heard suicide bidding hurts your chances so she’s not doing that. Said she would accept a bid from the other and try it and drop before initiation if she doesn’t like it. And try again next year (God help me!) The process is very cutthroat under ideal circumstances and as with everything, circumstances this year were not ideal. Daughter is better in person than on video or zoom. It hurt her chances. She’s not a legacy so she’s having to succeed on her own. Glad daughter #2 thinks this stuff is bullshite...at least for now.

Not trying to derail the thread, but I'm curious about the process. If you're not a legacy, how important is it to get letters of recommendation from alumnae of a sorority? Is that required, or is that sort of lagniappe for the selection process? As I said, I'm pretty ignorant of the process, but a friend's daughter went through it last year and I remember they were looking for alumnae of her preferred choices to give referrals.
Phil and Bear, I hope your daughters end up where they'll be happy.

My daughter is a sophomore . Went through it last year as a legacy (older sister graduated few years ago. Yes, you have or need to get rec letters from EVERY sorority . Pretty lengthy and thorough process . Both my daughters had excellent rushes and kept their favorites (thank god) all the way to the end so they got to pick basically which they wanted . Very tough process this year . My youngest was on a rush team for her sorority and like I say , they had to cut girls without even a conversation unlike prior years
TLDR.. need letters whether legacy or not
