Current Affairs The 2020 United States Presidential Election

That's too simple. This is America, mate, where even facts are up for debate

Is it because each state can have their own rules?

Our postal voting system is pretty straightforward. You have to return your ballot by X date and if you're late, then you're too late. We have never had an election during a pandemic I accept, but our system where almost everyone votes on the day is certainly a lot simpler to understand.

Yet you keep linking more and more videos?

Always different videos as well. You are going out of your way to whatever platform he is posting on and finding a brand new video

Oh and watching them all to make sure the content is relevant to the point you are making.

I think this fella has a new fan tbh

I just type his name into Youtube, its not hard.

Yep, there are no consistent rules across states so you get the variation where some states (even before Covid) were effectively all mail and others where it was extremely limited.

Good explanation of the differences here

So many times though?

I mean really? You search for him far more than I do, I just happen to come across a video of his.

You are going out of your way over and over and over again to find his content.

However posting the videos you must watch them. Posting something without even checking the content out would be silly , especially if said content was relevant?

Especially given the video you keep referring to watching was not a political video but you have a good idea of his political views , therefore must watch them

Interesting that, thanks

And a lot of states differentiate between being sent or received by the deadline. Any very tight states could take forever to declare.

California has always had late results because we have a “postmarked by” deadline - gave rise to Trump saying 3 million illegal votes in 2016. However was just the standard trickle in of legal ballots and historically Dem votes have waited to the last minute before posting theirs so often a “blue shift” from initial election day in person votes which skew more red.

Well I've watched a helluva lot a Trump vids on the news etc over the last four years, it doesn't mean that I agree with anything he's said or that I support him.

I've also shared a lot of his stupidest clips on social media, just to laugh at him or point out his lies. However not once have I shared any of his content because I agree with him.

Do you understand the difference now?

Back by a certain date or postmarked by a certain date? The US has a lot of postmarked rules as has been shown recently the mail system isn't immune to tampering by corrupt government officials. Should you lose your vote because it spent weeks in the mail system?

Yes.

You watched the content. So you agree if moomin is sharing them then he is watching them, far more than I am it seems.

Otherwise your post literally has no relevance to moomin sharing videos. For the record like

For context ~138million was the total (early in person, mail and election day) in 2016
