That's not how this works, news needs to come in the form of a tweet or a youtube video. Everybody knows that.
Like this:
That's merely the most notable of the many instances he's been completely full of shit. The fact he's claiming a "victory" simply because the judge did not dismiss the case outright should also tell us a certain something about excessive grandiose claims. He might be a very smart guy in some ways, but...
We’ve had postal voting in some form since at least 1877. And after Federation it was allowed for the first (as in, the very first) federal election in 1903. And apparently as of last year (2019) something like 90% of votes cast in Switzerland are via mail.
It’s on the books for about ten or twelve nations so it is rare, but it’s out there and can be made to work.
Postal voting is common in Germany, with 29% of the electorate voting by post in the 2017 general election. Absentee voting has existed in Germany since 1957, originally in order to ensure that all German citizens, especially the old, sick, and disabled, and citizens living abroad, have the opportunity to participate in elections. At first, postal voters had to state why they could not cast their vote in person on Election Day; but this requirement was dropped in 2008, allowing everyone to use postal voting. Like in many other countries, in more recent years voting by mail has become increasingly popular among younger and non-disabled citizens residing within the country; as such, various tools are being developed to help citizens, both domestic and abroad, more easily apply for postal voting.
Many other, but not most.
Also, many other countries have national voter id. We don't.
Many other countries have better practices for election than the US does.
What the US does should be considered an embarrassment.
As far as I know, the President is limited in his actual power. He can't just unilaterally command that elections be federalized.
I would imagine that, if he did so, the democrats would oppose him with cries of "voter suppression! Disenfranchisement!""
But yes, he bears a portion of the blame for not focusing on this issue.
Many other countries do most things better than the US.
The US is an embarrassment in tons of areas.
The website didn't want to load your images from the_donald.
And guess who used SolarWinds?
To be fair, the thing says "SolarWinds Orion", while Dominion says they used "SolarWinds Serv-U"
But same company, probably same or similar vulnerabilities.

He is a fucking crank. No wonder you're quoting him.

Ayyadurai also attracted attention for two reports: the first questioning the working conditions of India's largest scientific agency; the second questioning the safety of genetically modified soybeans. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ayyadurai became known for a social media disinformation campaign about the coronavirus; spreading conspiracy theories about the cause of coronavirus; promoting unfounded COVID-19 treatments; and campaigning to fire Anthony Fauci for allegedly being a so-called "deep state" actor.
You have been told numerous times and yet still do not appear to have computed that voter ID is not used for postal ballots: your voter ID is a card you take to a polling station when you vote in person. When you're suggesting strategies that don't combat the fraud you're complaining about, it reveals is how bankrupt your position is.
Guys, have you not noticed that Houseman has been posting videos from Right Side for the past few pages?
It's over. Let him ramble.
It's over. Let him ramble.
That sentence made me think of Bright Side, but that's probably just me.
Houseman is out of his cage, and he's, well, not really doing fine...
No, but I have noticed he's been linking to thedonald.win. Mostly because it really upsets the anti-virus on my company laptop.
