Thank you! jmbar2 Jul 2024 #3

Self-deleted, thanks for the thread! Think. Again. Jul 2024 #2

Do your job, including making sure there are Democratic poll watchers everywhere. Silent Type Jul 2024 #4

Exactly why making that job impossible to do by switching candidates at this stage is wrong. Think. Again. Jul 2024 #6

Um. Think they are supposed to adapt. Silent Type Jul 2024 #7

So easy to say.... Think. Again. Jul 2024 #9

Well. Ballots have not been printed, names haven't been put in computer files, etc. anyway. Silent Type Jul 2024 #10

Yeah, that's right, just punch a few buttons and it's done. Yeah. Think. Again. Jul 2024 #11

You don't think they have apps for ballots, computer apps for adding final candidate names, etc. Silent Type Jul 2024 #12

Yep, easy-peazy, ayup. Think. Again. Jul 2024 #14

Yes. And they had those capabilities decades ago. What do you think they have to do, hardwire Silent Type Jul 2024 #17

Right? Magic is a common and inexpensive office supply these days. Think. Again. Jul 2024 #19

Two names is all that might change. They can continue doing their usual stuff and plug those in at the end. Democrats Silent Type Jul 2024 #31

(You do know the OfficeDepot "Easy Button" isn't real, right?) Think. Again. Jul 2024 #33

Tell me, what do you think is so difficult about changing two names. Besides trump hasn't named his VP yet. Silent Type Jul 2024 #35

I'm imagining some pre-Gutenburg hammer to chisel to stone thing. BlueCheeseAgain Jul 2024 #37

Sounds like it. Then, they have to build boats to deliver the stones overseas to military, etc. Silent Type Jul 2024 #38

Technology to print names isn't the problem. RubyRose Jul 2024 #52

That's why I said we might have to do an earlier convention. Heck, they were planning one Silent Type Jul 2024 #53

Do they have apps that quickly settle lawsuits as well? Mister Ed Jul 2024 #55

Won't get far if the candidates are officially certified by the convention. Silent Type Jul 2024 #60

That's good to know, because the Heritage Foundation has vowed lawsuits everywhere. Mister Ed Jul 2024 #61

As we found with trump in Colorado and Biden in Ohio, it's difficult to keep a major candidate off the ballot on Silent Type Jul 2024 #62

REad the unrolled thread in first post. It is complex and not even possible to do in the remaining time. Amaryllis Jul 2024 #15

Sounds like some folks are going to have to work round the clock. And, Democrats might need to Silent Type Jul 2024 #16

Just don't think "we can't handle the admin work" is the best message to get Democrats elected. Silent Type Jul 2024 #36

Huh? shrike3 Jul 2024 #58

It is not that easy. LiberalFighter Jul 2024 #39

So, what, they have to print ballots at last minute every election. They already know Silent Type Jul 2024 #40

They don't print one set of ballots for the whole county. LiberalFighter Jul 2024 #44

Look, nowadays, this is just pressing a few buttons. Even my rube red State handles this stuff Silent Type Jul 2024 #45

You would be wrong. LiberalFighter Jul 2024 #51

She is absolutely correct! LeftInTX Jul 2024 #13

This is not true. BlueCheeseAgain Jul 2024 #18

Who am I to argue with the honest views of an election official? jmbar2 Jul 2024 #20

I apologize if I came off strong. BlueCheeseAgain Jul 2024 #23

Oh, goody. Now we're accusing an actual election official of misinformation. shrike3 Jul 2024 #22

Well, she's mistaken. BlueCheeseAgain Jul 2024 #24

Oh my goodness. Please write to her and tell her she doesn't know a g-d thing. shrike3 Jul 2024 #25

Plenty of more prominent people have already said as much in reply or in quoting her Tweet. BlueCheeseAgain Jul 2024 #26

Glad you know your voice won't make a difference. shrike3 Jul 2024 #28

She's a county elections official. BlueCheeseAgain Jul 2024 #29

The woman dissed by you and all the twitter noobs talked about lawsuits. shrike3 Jul 2024 #30

Have all the state procedures remained the same since then? jmbar2 Jul 2024 #42

Hopefully, unless GOPer states, Democratic admins have updated this stuff to state of art. Silent Type Jul 2024 #46

That convention was held in July. LiberalFighter Jul 2024 #49

And? former9thward Jul 2024 #63

Do you think the laws were the same then? LiberalFighter Jul 2024 #64

This topic has been covered in many, many newspaper articles. former9thward Jul 2024 #65
