(29,270 posts)including voter roll purges, inadequate and broken down equipment that leaves people in largely POC communities in line for hours, etc...
Sanders was right to press for a paper trail in Iowa, it was just negligently implemented.
I loved listening to Yang last night, BTW... really like him, hope he stays in the mix for the rest of his career.

(3,972 posts)It works great! No lines to stand in, vote at your kitchen table, no pesky electronic voting machines, AND there's a paper ballot! Plus, if you don't get your ballot in the mail, you know something is wrong and can look into it before election day.

(97 posts)I would think easier for people to intercept ballots or to tamper with that way, I could see repubs driving around minority neighborhoods and stealing mail

The mail in voting is flawed, and easily subject to tampering..........In many ways, it is more subject to voting fraud than the voting machines in use across the U.S.........

(31 posts)The counts were done in public, and every campaign (or citizen) could see that the local tallies matched the actual "votes" and could photograph the results. The final tally will show how all the local numbers fed into it -- it will be 100% verifiable.
There are worse things that being slow.

Let's keep the momentum of solidarity going, regardless of our concerns or comforts.
Andrew Gillum is an inspiration for Democrats.
