No comparison at all.

If you're a wack job, you know an extremely erratic or irrational person, Soroes is behind everything. Why, these nuts digest everything wacko they read. They believe everything wrong with the world is because of liberals. Because they're nuts that liberal is always George Soros. Fact, liberals are inclusive and the nuts here and out there are exclusive. That leads to this


At George Soros’s Home in N.Y. Suburb, Explosive Device Is Found in Mailbox Mr. Soros is a favorite target of right-wing groups. He was not home at the time.

Remember the 'Treazon' letter I rote to my Congressman, Randy Hultgren? I tried to find it here, but it must be buried within a topic with an unrelated title.

He iz only 4 points ahed uv Lauren Underwood in a very jerrymandered red district. I will send her a link to the Daily Kos article. Maybe she can make sumthing helpful out uv it.

That's actually not a bad idea at all.

This would be extremely easy to purge the voting list of dead voters as well because they'd just have to purge the list of any death certificates issued that matched the number.



In my state, not only do they make you physically sign the role book, but they scan the barcode on your ID. I assume this precludes you from being able to vote anywhere else, at least in the state.

If everybody is granted voting registration automatically when they're 18, they should be provided with a voter ID card with a barcode that would do the same thing, so the same SS# can only be used once.



Although on re-thinking this, how do you ensure that the person going to vote is using their own name and not somebody else's, J0?

There would still have to be some process for getting a photograpic ID done, otherwise one person could grab 20 of their apethetic relatives cards and go around voting as 20 different people.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Dear Mr. Hultgren,

I have been reading The Federalist Papers.

One of the big concerns of the founding fathers was the danger of foreign powers influencing people within our government. They go into some detail about how the ancient Greek city-state's attempts at democracy would always fail due to foreign actors taking advantage of internal rivalries.

If Hamilton, Madison, Jay, or any of the founding fathers were around today to witness what is going on with Trump and Putin, they would surely be aghast at the dismal failure of their creation.

They would instantly see that the wrench jamming the gears is party loyalty gaining priority over patriotism.

Even without the treasonous conspiracy, they would be appalled that such a carnival barker clown had managed to gain the Presidency and that he has yet to be impeached in spite of the non-stop goofs, lies and bafoonery.

I am sorry to have to inform you of this, but it is glaringly obvious that you and all the Republicans in the highest offices in the land are not adhering to your oath of office. You are failing to do your duty. The separation of powers cannot work when your loyalty is to your party rather than the nation. You are participating in treason, even if your only crime is inaction.

I understand you are not a major player in Congress, but that is no excuse. Your duty is to your local constituents and the United States of America, not the GOP.

I do not know the intricacies of your political situation or how things 'work' in Washington, but I suggest that if you can't get a coalition of Republican congressmen together to oust Ryan, call for Trump's impeachment, or otherwise end Putin's control over The White House, switch to Democrat or declare yourself an independent with a strong statement as to why.

'Astounding’ day one voting surge indicates strong turnout in Nov. 6 elections

AUSTIN — A surge in early voting Monday crushed previous turnout numbers, with a handful of the state’s largest counties, including Harris, setting new records for first-day voting in a mid-term election.

Eight of those counties — including Dallas, Travis, Collin and El Paso — posted first-day turnout that surpassed that of 2016, a presidential year that typically draws more people to the polls, according to data from the Texas Secretary of State’s office.
