Mail in ballots do not offer secure eletions

 DC Daily Journal:

...

The reality is that with mail-in voting, election officials are not present when the ballot is physically filled out from the comfort of a home and in private. What this means is that it is logically impossible to be as secure as in-person voting where you present an ID and get escorted to your ballot.

That doesn’t stop the establishment from trying to peddle the narrative that starting elections two months early with mail-in ballots is a grand idea that has no pitfalls whatsoever. There are still legal battles being waged over who will actually appear on the ballot, like in Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s case, and we’re told that it’s reasonable to start the mail-in voting.

Well not only that, but now there are reports that election-related mail is running into issues with being delivered due to USPS incompetence. Election officials are sounding the alarm over this as mail-in voting is set to begin this month in some regions.

State and local election officials have raised concerns about the U.S. Postal Service’s ability to handle millions of ballots for the 2024 presidential election. In a letter to Postmaster Louis DeJoy, the National Association of State Election Directors and other officials highlighted issues such as processing delays, lost or delayed election mail, and insufficient training that could impact timely ballot delivery.

The letter stated that over the past year, including during recent primaries, mailed ballots postmarked by the required date arrived at local election offices several days past the counting deadline. Officials also reported instances of correctly addressed election mail being returned as undeliverable.
...

I think that mail-in ballots should be restricted for people like those in the service far from where they live and others in similar situations.  It is really not that hard for me to vote in person and obviously, millions of others can do it.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
