There is zero proof that this happened, and I’m about to demonstrate why it is impossible.I used to work for an elections company. We invented an On-Demand Ballot Printing system that we sold in Florida ahead of the 2008 elections, and in California, Colorado, Arizona, and other states in subsequent elections. If you remember the “hanging chad” problem in Florida; that was “fixed” by introducing electronic voting machines. When the public lost faith in those machines, we entered Florida with a solution that “fixed” those machines with the reintroduction of paper ballots, printed for the specific voter, within minutes of scanning their ID (Florida has Voter ID Cards).That is a side story to introduce that I worked with elections staff from multiple counties in multiple states across America.The first thing you should know is this: the people who run elections take their jobs very seriously. They live by the motto, “don’t get in the papers”. They want clean elections with no mistakes that can be questioned by the press. In almost all cases, the person responsible for running the election is, themselves, an elected official whose name just might be on today’s ballot. You don’t want people pissed off about the polling place when they get to your position on the ballot and make their decision to elect your opponent because you didn’t have enough poll workers.Part of being serious is being careful. In NO instance in my experience, were elections officials careless about security. The voter registration database is sacrosanct and your ballot—even more so.As a vendor, our PC’s and printers were not allowed on the county networks. We had to develop local-only networks, with no connection to the internet. This was particularly true when I worked with California. In each county I worked, I had to bring my own network to connect control PCs to our ballot printers. The files required to create the on-demand ballot or ballots (we had a second process that would print the entire request file for Vote by Mail ballots in managed print runs) had to be transferred via sneakernet and were intentionally built with only the data required to print and mail a ballot. Elections officials, and by necessity, all staff who provide services to elections officials, have to be carefully monitored and supervised. I was once in an escort-only area of Pinellas County, FL and stepped outside to take a cell call from my office. I walked into a stairwell and found that I had no means to get back out. I had to look up the direct number for the County Elections Supervisor and ask her to send my escort to come find me.Now…why are California elections immune to voting multiple times?All potential voters must be registered in their county of residence.You can only vote if your name appears on that list. Your name can only appear once.If you request a mail-in ballot, your name will not be on the voter registration list at your local precinct. You can’t vote from home and then vote at a polling place. If your name is not on the list, you either can not vote, or you must vote a “provisional ballot” that will be held until it can be verified as the only ballot submitted for your name/address.If you request a second mail-in ballot, the first ballot is deactivated in the system. If it shows up in the mailed-in returns, it will be outsorted as VOID. Your second ballot is the only official ballot you can submit. If you lose your ballot and request another, don’t try to vote the first if you find it. It will not be counted. It is void and will be outsorted in favor of your second requested ballot.If you try to vote twice at your precinct, your signature from when you voted the first time will tell the old guy at the table that you have already been here, and you won’t get another ballot to vote.If you go from precinct to precinct to vote multiple times, your name won’t be on the voter records and you can only vote a provisional ballot. Provisionals are put in an envelope with your signature and are opened after all other ballots have been counted. If multiple provisionals are received for the same person, only one ballot can be counted. The rest are put aside in the event they are challenged. End result, despite going to 16 precincts, you only get to vote one time.If you think this is all difficult work for elections officials, it isn’t really. Pitney-Bowes and other vendors make high-speed sorting equipment that can sort tens of thousands of ballots an hour and are programmed to outsort any duplicate ballots received, placing them in a bin that must be inspected by elections officials before they can be included/excluded from the election. The machine can even scan your signature on the envelope and compare it to your voter record as the envelope flies past a camera at over 60 MPH, making a decision to out-sort questionable signatures in milliseconds.Note, that this sorting is not related to tabulation. It is ONLY for sorting and verifying that the VOTER only votes one ballot. Once verified, ballots are separated from their affidavit envelopes and then get tabulated by precinct/voting district/parrish, etc.So, in-person voting is protected by the arcane but reliable system of making a voter sign for their ballot and show ID.Mail-in ballots are protected by sorting equipment and elections officials.Provisional ballots are the most-scrutinized ballots in the system for the simple reason that they are the only ballots that might enter the system illegally.So, where can you vote, even twice, that won’t be questioned and caught?Even in systems where the electronic voting machines are used, you still must make it past the election official by showing your ID.Therefore, Trump’s assertion that millions of people are voting multiple times is complete and utter bullshit. In most-everything he says, I assume this to be true. In this case, I can guarantee it.He’s lying. Any very stable genius should be able to see that. Especially those of us smarter than he is. Now, you know more about our election system than our president.And…not that I encourage voter fraud, but if it is so damned easy to vote multiple times, why are Democrats the only ones who will sink low enough to do it? The evidence of actual fraud in Republican districts (purging of voter rolls; closing of polling places in minority precincts; Voter ID law requirements where the DMV is only open 2 days a month; gerrymandering districts; etc.) is well-documented. If they are so willing to cheat, why won’t they try to vote twice?The answer, obviously, is because they can’t.If you don’t believe me, please try to vote twice and see what happens to you.Go forth and vote…once.

Are you texting with this soldier? Is he a member of your family or have you ever met him? Has he told you what he does?I find this very curious as to be continuously deployed in Afghanistan would be administratively very unusual. Usually everyone in a unit comes and goes together. The times I have seen an individual asked to stay behind is if their specialty is in short supply, usually something like prisoner interrogation where facility with language is needed or whose local knowledge makes the job of the incoming unit easier or helps the mission. Occasionally, very occasionally there is a request from someone to stay overseas, perhaps the extra money is needed at home, or they just want to stay “where the action is”. This is usually evaluated by the command and often requires a med/psych eval before being granted permission to transfer to another unit and stay through their deployment. I have never heard of anyone doing that more than once.There is a widespread scam perpetrated by people in West Africa, primarily in Ghana and Nigeria. They meet women on dating websites like Hangouts, texting because he is in a “dangerous place” doing “secret missions” and so can’t call or Skype either because of secrecy or the expense, since he has “no access to funds while he is deployed”. I think we should consider the likelihood that your “soldier” may be one of these people.Next he will ask you to send money, gift cards, iPhones and many other things. If he hasn’t yet he will tell you soon that he has fallen in love with you, wants to come to be with you but the money situation is preventing that, so if you’ll help him he can pay you back when he sees you. He may send you pictures downloaded from Facebook or other places.Here are a couple of quick tests you can do.Ask him to send you on his military email account a list of what he needs from you…it probably won’t happen,(“security”) again, but if it does the email address should end with .mil [ nothing else just [ .mil ] every member of the military has one, some use it every day.IMPORTANT. It’s important to reenter the address before sending a return email. Pushing reply can be easily redirected. If there is anything but mil after the dot, he’s fake.Ask for his APO address( you have some phone cards, cookies etc you want to send) Here’s what an APO address should look like. Someone in the Navy might have an FPO address. It stands for fleet post office. Anything else is bogus.Name: PFC Jack LyonAddress 1: 23rd BattalionAddress 2: Unit 1234, Box 56789Country: United StatesCity: APOState: APZip/Postal Code: 96522-1215No APO or FPO address? “security” again? He’s not real.Here are some websites that will give you more information:Can You Spot the Scammer?Army investigators warn public about romance scamsOnline romance scamsIf you find that this is what’s happening don’t text him and curse him out. Some of them get a perverse pleasure out of your pain. Just block him and check with your bank to make sure no foreign withdrawals can be made without your approval or have already been made. Protect yourself. These people will use your information to steal from you aor perhaps use your accounts for illegal purposes. I know this is long, I apologize for that but I want to make sure you understand what has happened.Better a broken heart than a broken heart and an empty bank account. What you want, [ romance etc] will never happen. Your heart’s in the right place just with the wrong “man”.

It doesn’t.The answer they will give you is that it reduces the number of dead people on the voter rolls and the number of people who have moved away who are still on the voter rolls.These things are certainly true. And they sound good.But they don’t have any relationship to the integrity of elections, because there is no evidence in modern America of any material voting impersonation of dead people or of people who have moved away from the state.It also disenfranchises countless US citizens, still alive and resident in the state of Ohio, who happened to have the flu or be away on a trip on Election Day two years ago. It’s not as if Ohio made it easy to get an absentee ballot, either. Here are the requirements:You may use the application form prescribed by the Secretary of State (Form 11-A) or provided to you by your county board of elections to apply for your absentee ballot. If you choose not to use the prescribed form, your written application need not be in any particular format, but it must contain all of the following information:Your name;Your legal signature;The address at which you are registered to vote;Your date of birth;One of the following items showing proof of your identification:Your Ohio driver's license number (begins with two letters followed by six numbers);The last four digits of your Social Security number; orA copy of a current and valid photo identification, a military identification, or a current (within the last 12 months) utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck or other government document (other than a notice of voter registration mailed by a board of elections) that shows the voter’s name and current address.A statement identifying the election for which you are requesting an absentee ballot;A statement that you are a qualified elector;If the request is for a partisan primary election ballot, your political party affiliation; andIf you want the ballot to be mailed to a different address than where you are registered, the address to which you want it mailed.Absentee Voting - Ohio Secretary of StateJust look at that. A voter could write for an absentee ballot, include all that information, and be denied because the letter did not contain the statement “I am a qualified elector.”This is about voter suppression, pure and simple, and it is a direct assault on the right to vote.
