2024 Primary Elections.

Hey no shit.

If they did, I can see 1A, 2A, and 4A being in trouble.

All evidence points to his degree coming from Trump University.

Indeed.

Legislation that puts amendments into practice can be helpful, to be sure. The 18th Amendment only said that the "manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors ... for beverage purposes" was prohibited. The Volstead Act and subsequent laws provided an enforcement framework without which questions could not have been resolved without litigation; for instance, it spelled out the maximum ABV percentage allowed before a drink would be considered intoxicating, and also established the maximum amount of "medicinal whiskey" that a physician could prescribe and still have it considered to be not "for beverage purposes."

But it is not mandatory.

As far as I know, Congress has never passed a law saying that the president has to be at least 35 years old, but it's still a requirement.

How can anyone seriously not see how absurd it would be to argue that Congress can unilaterally nullify something that's in the Constitution just by refusing to pass a law affirming it?

Here you go again with the insults. What evidence? You have zero fucking evidence about where I got my degree. Just because I didn't describe the full amendment process doesn't mean I don't know it. Jesus Christ you people are so tedious and pedantic.

No, no, it's shallow and pedantic. Get your Peter Griffin quotes right.

I know I am a lazy writer - heck even story teller and often leave out pertinent details. But I don’t see …, perhaps you can explain your thought process which ties your post with @tafkats’ post.

Incorrect, unless the college/university paper you linked here years ago as proof of your academic qualifications wasn't actually yours.

(I don't remember the subject of it or where it was from)

I think Chardman dug up the paper on the Goog. Don't think FF linked it here for us.

Huh, seems like I should probably actually watch this. Might be that they’re not all clones of each other after all.

I miss Chardman. Did FF show up before he died?

Not a primary but:

BREAKING: Democrat Thomas Suozzi wins special election to U.S. House in New York's 3rd Congressional District, a seat once represented by George Santos before his expulsion from Congress. #APRaceCall at 10:03 p.m. EST.

A few hot NY 3 takes. It appears:
- The polls had a pro-GOP bias, again
- Immigration backfired for the GOP, esp in the context of their legislative failure
- GOP turnout suffered, but not enough to explain these margins. Suozzi won a lot of Inds and a decent number of GOPs

- The GOP has yet to find a position on abortion rights that will save them
- AAPI voters, key to Dem victories in 2020, clearly helped deliver this seat

- The early vote analysis (what Nate Silver referred to as "smoking hopium" in 2022, proved useful/predictive in this race
- Speaking of Hopium, let's give thanks to @SimonWDC and his Hopium community, who raised six figures to help deliver this result.

Dems in disarray! Doom and gloom! They can’t possibly win in November!

LOL!

Just came here to post this:

I’m not trying to be elitist, but I think we’re reaching a point where early voting and vote by mail is too difficult for your average Republican.

Combined with party realignment we are in a new era. I think it was Carville today that said that looking underneath the hood of the latest polls Biden is up +4 among those who have voted in the last three midterms and -10 among those who hadn’t voted in one of the three.

Also he said Dems haven’t lost a special election since Dobbs (that seems like maybe a bit of Carville hyperbole - or maybe he meant a D seat hasn’t flipped R?).

Take your life savings and mail it to yourself in the USPS. Do you trust that it’ll get back to you?

Let's see, people get their paychecks, medication, and other valuables mailed to them all the time, so yeah. I mean, if you're caught fucking with the mail, it's a felony. A UPS or FedEx package? Probably not, unless it's something highly valuable.

you are aware some of us cannot mail ouir money around taped to a post card, right sammich boy?

So do it @Tuckerfan. Put it to the test.

Why? You wouldn’t believe me if I did.

It doesn’t matter what I believe. Do it. What are you afraid of? Do it.

First off it is two in the morning. On. a. Tuesday! Put down the booze and get your ass to bed!

Secondly you don’t have to mail, you can drop it off. Secure locations all over the county. My closest is about six blocks.

Or you go to King County Elections and drop it off in person.

Now if you do mail it King County Elections has a nifty ballot tracker letting you know the status:



You can even sign up to receive ballot status updates by text or email. Come Election Day and you are worried about not seeing your ballot having shown up returned you can go to various voting sites around the county and have a provisional ballot printed out and you turn in there.

It ain’t rocket science.

Actually, it does matter what you believe. Because I did it back in October.

Yes.
The question is, do you actually check your mail more than once a fortnight?
I've got people on my route that don't then bitch they haven't gotten their mail or packages. (I don't pull mail until it's been sitting in the box for 4-6 weeks, then I hold it at the station for 10 days before I send it back to sender and slap a vacant card in the mailbox).

How do you know your ballot hasn’t been opened, you’re signature forged on a new ballot with a completely different vote?
