  1. We should be able to vote by mail. And they should step up and make sure there’s no cheating!

    1. Electronically is the only answer… You can safely do just about everything else on your phone or laptop so why shouldn’t you be able to vote? Unless the entire aim is to deny you the Vote?

    1. @Dan having a hard time keeping up are ya? That’s ok.. go take a nap and let the adults handle this

    2. @Dan Don’t bring the baby lotion, like you do down in your mama’s basement… it’s a Whole Different Poll out in the Real World, bbbbooooyyyyyyyy.

    3. Yo Dan… Ya boy is gonna lose even if he cheats. And your single vote won’t change that. Don’t get mad boy get over it. 🤑🤑🤑

    1. @Dan Did you mean to type “were” and NOT “where”?
      I thought so, try harder and give us all some facts about voter cheating rather than do the childish “It wasn’t us, it was them” BS comment!

    2. @Dan Really? There’s no proof of this. You’re just repeating the lies your Trump lord is spewing!
      If you need proof of voter fraud, then just take a look at Florida! There was an actual Republican poll volunteer who was changing registered voters registration from Democrat to Republican and she was caught!
      Cases like these ARE PROOF! NOT just repeating what your Trump lord says which he made up!

  2. The GOP suppressing the black community’s right to vote? How not very out of character of them…

    1. Republicans are corrupt we must all go to the polls and replace them and have true representation in Washington! Enough is enough‼️‼️🇺🇸🇺🇸

    1. Patrick Schaefer I could do term limits there is a issue on the ballot in my state either this or the next election. I will probably vote yes.

    2. @Michael McCullagh …he can’t help it just like he can’t help his parents being siblings…

  4. So people have to travel hundreds of miles to vote cause of course they don’t get their absentee ballots in time. Yeah that’s a fair election Just vote McConnell OUT

    1. You mean Beshear, don’t you? He’s the one that did it. But then democrats can only win by cheating.

    1. @Hildebeast Clinton – Wow … the discussion page on your YT channel had this comment from timm9 … 12 years ago. “Gross Middle aged PERVERT! Just look at his saved videos….Can you say NO SELF CONTROL.
      “. You took those saved videos down. What were they? I bet you had videos of little girls up there. You pervert.
      https://www.youtube.com/user/scarease/discussion

    2. All Republicans are going to try and cheat,if the Democrats let them,because they know they are drowning and there is no other way out,Democrats needs to wake up.

    3. @Wigg Picker Thank you for making it clear BEYOND any soubt how dangerous militant religious delusion is. Are you a good boy/girl and pray every day for your God Emperor Trump? Are you part os Project Blitz that is out to turn the USA into God state with the Ten Commandments above secular law? You surely are for the death penalty, that’s how they did it in the good old times of Jesus. Wonder when you will reintroduce stonings. Sounds a lot like the Islamic State and Saudi Arabia to me.

      You know the Saudi Arabia that cared that Jared got a billion dollar loan from Qatar, the kingdom where Trump sells weapons to against the will of BOTH parties because the Saudis lead a genocidal war in Jemen, and US tanker airplanes refuel the Saudi jets on their bombing runs. The county where Trump took two weeks to utter a lame, lame statement when Jared’s buddy, Saudi crown prince Muhammad bin Salman, ordered to saw a US resident into pieces.

      The friends of your holy man Trump, the ones he respects, the ones he speaks highly about, are all quasi-dictators. Putin, who will change the constitution to let himself reign forever, Erdogan, who does the same, Duterte, Kim Jong Un, Li Jin Ping, the crown prince MBS.

    1. @Hildebeast Clinton … kudos to you for the copy and paste skills… did you learn anything else in your hill-billy homeschool?… maybe the mystical art of spell-check?…

    2. Hildebeast Clinton I know I was being sarcastic. It is hard to tell online.. We should all be glad the queen didn’t take the crown more than she already did in the legal realm. I bet you would like this. https://youtu.be/uQJoar17jyo

    3. Pat Moore did the democrats teach u to be prejudiced about your intelligence? I think so… Dems are so very prejudiced for being so violently anti prejudiced. It is just weird.
