I agree, I've long thought that voting should take place on one day. If you can't seem to plan one short activity into your schedule with 1-4 years of notice, then too bad, so sad.

Trump has a pretty good batting average as far as getting things correct.

Back when he was not a Presidential candidate:

Well, one thing that is different is that the NYPD had it and gave it to the FBI. I'd imagine that the FBI doesn't know how much of it the NYPD saw and has to assume all of it. If there is anything in there that they can't ignore then they have to respond lest someone from NYPD call them out on not dealing with the info.

Police, various federal agencies take computers and all matter of tech to the RCFL(regional computer forensic lab) which is run by the FBI. They supply the know how and tech. local officers are trained for years to work in this lab. The officers collect the evidence and basically take a picture of everything on the computer, server, modem, cell phone, digital media. they can collect deleted files and can break a fair amount of encryption.

If the NYPD had the information then the FBI also has the information as it is stored on their servers inside the regional labs. The FBI knows everything the NYPD does and i'm betting that is why this happened. There is no way the FBI can cover it up since the NYPD has their head stuck in the cookie jar.

ABSOLUTELY!!!

Nicely stated, darthfuster. As a disgruntled Washington State voter, I've watched the deterioration of our former Voting Law over the years under the Liberal administrations manipulations. I've watched the endless protests, lawsuits and ballot manipulations and "discovery of found ballots", until they finally found or generated sufficient to overturn the election for Governor.

I still have my Precinct card in my wallet for "Old Times" sake. On election day, I'd take my Precinct Card and my photo ID WA Driver's License to the entry of the polling place. There, a nice little blue-haired lady would confirm that my Photo ID matched the information they had on the voting list, then would have me sign in on the tabulation sheet. She would then compare my signature to that on my Driver's License, hand me my ballot, and thank me for participating. Oh... and don't forget the "I voted" sticker!!

Now all voting in WA is conducted by mail-in balloting, with NO requirement for any visual confirmation of who I am, no requirement to provide any ID whatsoever... Hell, one may register to vote online, never proving a damn thing!

Plus, it put all those nice blue-haired ladies out of a job!

It is well past time to pour a healthy dose of Bleach in the deep end of the voting cesspool!

Seems silly to hold this up as a reason to eliminate early voting.

If you just learned that Hillary is corrupt, you haven't been paying attention.

Early voting helps many of us working stiffs.
Elimination of early voting would hurt those that work more than the non-workers.

The better conversation to be had is removing corruption from voting.
Voter ID requirement.
Removal of the dead from active voting status.
Penalties for voter fraud.
Prosecutions for voter fraud.

Agreed, thats what these high stake criminals do! Also heard that the Hillary campaign is investigating if the 15 yr old girl is a Russian spy.

New Yorker

“Coming less than two weeks before the Presidential election, Comey’s decision to make public new evidence that may raise additional legal questions about Clinton was contrary to the views of the Attorney General, according to a well-informed Administration official,” the New Yorker reports on Saturday.

“Lynch expressed her preference that Comey follow the department’s longstanding practice of not commenting on ongoing investigations, and not taking any action that could influence the outcome of an election, but he said that he felt compelled to do otherwise.”

The FBI director is an employee under the Department of Justice (DOJ), according to the New Yorker’s Jane Mayer, who notes that the FBI director would be subject to DOJ policies.

Mayer reports that Lynch asked Comey to follow the policies, but Comey said he had promised to inform Congress of further developments in Clinton’s email investigation.

“He also felt that the impending election created a compelling need to inform the public, despite the tradition of acting with added discretion around elections,” Mayer notes, citing an administration official."

Gotta love Loretta & her interpretation of justice.

Early voting has its place. A friend of mine just found out yesterday he had to take a business trip to FL for two weeks. He would have been unable to vote in person in NC. Yesterday he went to the early voting place and cast his ballot. He leaves for FL on Sunday.

Of course there would still be a way to vote absentee though, right?

After all, not everyone can be home for every election. In my case, I am always out of State for the Presidential election because of my rotating schedule on the ship. Since our crews swap schedules every year, and the Presidential election is every four years, I'm always onboard for the election.

I wonder which scenario would be more beneficial to Mr Trump:

1) Indictment of Hillary in July, allowing enough time for DNC to swap in someone infinitely less scandalous than the Hag and enough time to change the ballots, or

2) This.

I am going with #2.

I wonder what else was found on Weiner's computer.

Child porn maybe? We know he likes girls young.

I wonder if he was looking at a lot of minimum mandatory time and maybe threw his soon to be ex wife to the wolves in a back door, hush-hush plea deal/proffer?

I guess they could ask her, I mean him.

Last night Hillary was urging people to vote early... hmmmm...

:lol:

I was just commenting to my wife this morning how I wish we DID have early voting in Alabama as it would help alleviate the hours-long voting lines we will face come November 8th! Not sure about your community, but where I live, the lines are normally very long and slow on a "normal" election, and of course NOTHING is normal about this one!

I expect to stand in line at least 90 minutes or more... but will do so with pleasure this time.

Well guys...if voting were just held on 8-NOV, I wouldn't be able to vote UNLESS there was a way in my :30 minute turn after arriving from destination A before taking off for destination B that I could find a voting booth in George Bush Intercontinental Airport, IF one even existed, run as fast as my stubby legs could stand, find the booth, and vote. Last I checked, I never saw a voting booth at each gate...ever.

So I implore you, oh sage wise ones, how would you recommend I vote?

Yeah...some things are better left as ideas on paper.

Sorry....[/DRIFT]

If your implying that this was a setup perpetrated by the RNC, loosen your tin foil hat, the blood is being cut off to your brain.

Comey is not our friend.

Bumped into a Democrat neighbor the other day, she was telling me about finding out about voting early, I asked her what was wrong with voting on election day.

Of course, I realize that is not always possible with everyone, but seems more prevalent with Democrats.

Ha! From what the FBI documents suggest, she couldn't even figure out how to forward a chain mail without Huma doing it for her.
