So if Kamala Harris had started a war with Iran, gas prices doubled, and then held a UFC fight on the White House lawn, MAGA would’ve been totally normal and reasonable about it, right?

Amazing quote from Stephen Miller's high school classmate in this new Jazeera documentary on him:

"Having grown up with him, it makes you realize that it isn't the smartest person you went to high school with who's running the country. It's the most shameless person."

It’s not about arguments. It’s about facts.

I know one great fact about American elections, and I know it because the Republican Party has proved it to me:

There is no election fraud of any consequence anywhere in the United States.

The Republican Party and its allies, FOR DECADES, have been searching high and low, in every corner of our country, for evidence of election fraud.

This effort has been made with vast sums of money and other resources, and with some of the greatest powers in our nation at the party’s disposal:

A presidential commission under President Donald Trump.

The Department of Justice under President Donald Trump, armed with the resources of the FBI, and the powers of subpoena.

Committees of Congress under Republican control, also armed with the powers of subpoena and the investigative resources of the first branch of government.

State legislatures under Republican control, also with subpoena powers, have launched similar efforts to find evidence of election fraud.

Republican-controlled states have set up special commissions and task forces, some with subpoena powers, all well-funded and with access to the state’s electoral systems.

Conservative academics and think tanks have launched projects seeking out evidence of election fraud.

Fox News and the rest of MAGA media have dedicated significant resources to finding evidence of election fraud.

What is the result of this enormous Republican effort to find election fraud?

Ask The Heritage Foundation.

For nearly a decade, Heritage has maintained an “Election Fraud Database.”

The database contains “proven instances of election fraud.”

It covers elections going back nearly fifty years.

That’s billions and billions of American votes.

Right now, the total number of proven instances of election fraud that Heritage can document is:

1620.

That’s an infinitesimal number, vanishingly small, and it is solid proof of two things:

1. Some individuals commit election fraud.

2. There is no evidence at all of systemic or even widespread election fraud anywhere in the USA.

The election-fraud panic is the Big Lie of our time.

It is peddled by people who know better. Their own investigations over decades demonstrate that.

Stop trying to subvert our democracy.

Sigh. Why won't anyone do research before posting?

Responding to your six points.

1. Yes. It is legal. States have different laws.

Still has to come from a registered voter, has to be returned in the return envelope assigned to that voter, there is no evidence of mass mail theft, and it has to have the voter's signature, which is checked (part of why it takes a long time).

2. California verifies identity through return envelope barcode and signature verification -- as is done for many financial and legal instruments.

This is the same way it's done in Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, etc.

3. Unattended drop boxes. You do realize that every USPS box is an "unattended drop box," right?

That's why it's nice that all Californians can track their mail ballots. And so too can the election officials.

4. Homeless regularly paid to vote. I'll settle for 5 proven examples in recent elections. Also, homeless are allowed to register and vote.

5. You're just pointing out that California is an "all mail" state and that almost everyone votes by mail as a result. Yes. And that's part of why it takes so long.

California does voter list maintenance. Otherwise it would have a laundry list of lawsuits under the NVRA.

And, for better or worse, you can't remove somebody from voter rolls just because he doesn't vote. So if you, e.g., move out of an apartment, but don't tell the registrar, and don't fill out change of address with USPS, then a mail ballot is still showing up to your address. And if the new resident simply throws it in the trash, then you're not taken off the voter rolls just because you didn't return a ballot.

Now, if you're suggesting that states should share information with each other, such that they know when somebody registers in a different state, then I agree with you.

That's why California should join ERIC. And it's why it's a shame that some states have left ERIC in recent years. That's bad for voter list maintenance.

6. This is just comparing apples to oranges. And you can easily Google the differences in the two systems.

But first, as a factual predicate, you might want to be more careful. I'd suggest you start with this New York Times article: "Why Do Elections in India Take So Long?"

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

He gets a ballroom. An Arch. A new reflecting pool. 10 billion directly into his pocket from taxpayers. Billions from special interests seeking favors and pardons.

What has America gotten? Tariffs, a new war, higher gas prices, inflation.

Truly a golden age.
