Well, ok.
I dunno - there're so many factors here I'm unaware of, I'd need to spend an entire evening just reading up on the practical aspects of U.S elections.

Like, why is there a printer involved at all, and at the day of voting no less?

In Sweden, and I assume most of the western world, it's all pretty straightforward. You get a nice, professionally made and uniform nationwide piece of paper called a "voting card" (which is different from a ballot) in the mail weeks in advance, that you use to identify yourself with at the polling station. Then you go to a polling station -like a sane person- and step into a voting booth where there's a set of equally nice, professionally made and uniform nationwide ballots that have also been made and distributed weeks in advance, and sure as shit not printed on a mid-tier photocopier on the day of.

Lol, more printer errors with the exact same bullshit in NY now. These are heavily republican areas too that someone like Zeldin relies on to win the gov and areas that help flip a house seat or two

So what happens if the machines can’t read the ballots, are they still counted?
 
Won't be alt right or Maga crowds that win the senate and house for the dems. It will be the dems inability to appease the moderate top 20% who backed them in the GE. Abortion and social causes just don't appeal to the most important bloc of voters
Dems are also going to be a victim of circumstance with how people are being affected by inflation and gas prices. Regardless if it's their fault or if they can fix it, it's happening while 'they are in power' so there are going to be a lot of people in the middle voting against them purely on those issues.

What I want to know is what those people will say if/when republicans gain power and nothing changes. These are world wide problems and if someone actually had a solution, one would think it would get implemented. Republicans aren't sitting on some magic plan that they just need power in the house/senate to implement and fix the problem.
 
Repubs need to be on their asses 24/7. Don't leave for a second until the whole thing's called. #nofuckery

Nothing is going to change but if nothing is going to change there's really no point for that segment to stick with the dems. It's a bloc that benefits from republican tax plans, isn't impacted by systemic racism and will still have access to abortions. Dems just didn't do enough to get the support of the most important voting bloc in midterm elections when it should have been easier than in past years.

at least in Maricopa, they are going to be taken to a central counting center to be counted after the polls close, perhaps not tonight.

If the ballots are unclear due to being printed poorly, it goes to adjudication where a panel decides the vote for the person, or discards it.

But that who knows who is counting the ballots and/or deciding the votes. Republican lawyers already on it apparently to make sure they have all the chain of custody documents (many were missing in 2020 audit), and have republican election officials present.

Btw, here is Kari Lake responding, she is amazing. Also calling out the issues are at only republican leaning polling areas

 
We don't believe in national uniformity in America especially when it's something really important.
yeah because who needs the benefits of everyone everywhere learning from the same mistakes at the same time and improving things for the entire nation, right? Can't have that getting in the way of those dang ol' states rights, can we? I mean, what are we? Smart enough to learn from our mistakes like a bunch of beta cucks? I don't fucking think so mister.

Edit: I mean, c'mon, standardized practices? That's commie shit, man. Leave it to those fucking libtard socialists like Henry Ford and Thomas Edison to try to show that standardizing processes and collecting data to use for improving them brings quality control along with it.

I have a cold and wasn't going to vote, because fuck it. But then one of my local GOP guys sent me the dumbest text message ever, and it reminded me that I hate him, so I took some NSAIDs and voted for a bunch of Dems I don't know anything about because fuck him now.

Do I want the people that want my kid to mask until she's 18, or the people who want to make Trump king for life? Neither. But I will vote against the POS who texts me dumb crap.
