Well, I could wear that button: I’ve been voting by mail for more than 10 years, usually about one election per year, on average, more or less. And oh yeah: We’ve done the studies. The number of people who vote more than once in any given election — in the whole state — can be counted on the fingers of one hand… and usually just the thumb.
And, oh yeah, about 4 times in 5, any cheating that gets caught: It’s someone voting GOP.
Republican denialism on the 2020 election mirrors the old (and apocryphal) story about Pauline Kael (film critic for the ultimate New York City elite mag, The New Yorker), who supposedly said “I can’t believe Nixon won. I don’t know anyone who voted for him.” Now it’s righties who cannot wrap their heads around the plain fact that Biden won fair and square because (thanks in part to ideological self-segregation) they do not know anyone who voted for him.
The only, and there were very few indeed, people who voted more than once were supporters of the orange dotard. No one voted more than twice! And, it appears, they all got caught.
Didn’t Republicans manage the key states that Trump lost and the judiciary decided no election fraud. I guess Mr. Gorrell just doesn’t like honest Americans.
I usually try not to comment when all I have to say repeats what has already been said, but it’s important to note that Gorrell is lying, so I will add my voice to the crowd. This is a totally shameful cartoon, and if Gorrell had an ounce of integrity he would never have drawn it. But he doesn’t.
Thank the gods that Mr. Gorrell — possessing such a brilliant mind and a rich, nuanced understanding of all things political — has the moral courage to expose this nonexistent problem: an esoteric one, you could say, that resides in the minds of his fellow Republican propagandists. He should not be distracted by the fact that the US military has been using vote-by-mail since the Civil War, that places like Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Utah, and Washington vote almost entirely by mail, and 33 states and the District of Columbia having vote-by-mail as an option, all without any voter fraud problem. He has his master’s work to do and must be deeply thankful that he lives in a country that allows fools to draw cartoons.
Trump, While Attacking Mail Voting, Casts Mail Ballot Again
President Trump cast a vote-by-mail ballot in Florida this week after months of questioning the security of the method of voting, and in doing so he returned it to election officials using a technique many Republicans say should be illegal.
Bob, you went and got yourself addicted to “Alternative Facts”. There are programs that can help you. I’m not suggesting that some kind of intervention is going to happen. We are not your friends.
Such misinformation! Shame on you Mr. Gorrell: your own Republican-appointed officials deny this to be true. This Q-level nonsense: if this’s all you can offer, please quit.
It’s depressing to think that Gorrell is as benighted as Bill Barr, both of whom seem to be unaware that there are five states in which ALL balloting is by mail, and there has never been so much as a whiff of scandal.
I seem to remember Trumpo advising people who sent in absentee ballots to show up in person and vote again, “just to be sure”. I guess it’s a reasonable assumption was that these criminals would be voting for Trump.
We have been exclusively vote by mail in Oregon for decades. Every time I ask a conservative for step by step instructions on how you could cheat, they either change the subject or publicly display their profound ignorance of the subject.
Four of the top six best run states (Utah, Washington, Colorado, and Oregon) have mail-in only voting. Ratings by WallSt.com (https://247wallst.com/special-report/2020/12/08/best-and-worst-run-stateamerica-a-survey-of-all-s-in-50-3/2/).
I mean, how many states to include Red states have been using predominantly mail-in voting for their elections for how many years now? And nearly zero cases of voter fraud. Facts matter.
The burden of proof is an interesting concept in legal matters. Take Hitchen’s Razor.
Hitchen’s Razor is an epistemological razor expressed by writer Christopher Hitchens. It says that the burden of proof regarding the truthfulness of a claim lies with the one who makes the claim; if this burden is not met, then the claim is unfounded, and its opponents need not argue further in order to dismiss it.
Hitchens has phrased the razor in writing as “What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.” Thank you Wikipedia!
Oregon has been voting by mail for two decades. One voter, one ballot. All tracked by barcode. Total incidents of fraud: less the ten. All address problems, except for the cases where GOP ballot counters were caught “correcting” ballots. In front of video cameras and they knew the cameras were there.

In 2016, a T**** supporter was arrested for double voting, once by mail and once in person.
In 2020, a man attempted to vote twice by requesting a mail-in ballot for his dead mother; also a T**** supporter.

So Gorrell is admitting that he has voted by mail, and even multiple times (at least three?).
I hope that it was never more than once in any given year.
