Election Day!!?!?!?

 Ever since Former President Trump lost the election back a year ago, there has been all this talk about elections being fraudulent. To this day that claim has been held up by large republican voices. To bring everything around the reason the January 6th riots happened was republicans were claiming fraud and the only way to change that is to threaten politicians.


I*n the present day there are elections that are going happening in Atlanta and their are new restrictions happening in the state to see what is going to work. Minnesota's Secretary of State who is democratic compares this election cycle to a dress rehearsal. Which is fair because there are going to be many changes taking place and instead of them being a surprise they are going to be practiced and tweaked throughout the upcoming months. 



From here I am going to break down the specifics....

***New Jersey and Virginia are the two states that are being looked at the closest. The reason it is these two states because they are having statewide elections for governors and the like, not local like other states at this time. 

***In Virginia, you no longer need an excuse to absentee vote, but you do need a witness signature. A witness signature just means someone watches them signing the ballot, which is an idea I like. Because I am a political science major I find that a necessity because I believe in free and fair elections. 

***Georgia and Florida have new ID requirements which could be a good and bad thing. Also in Georgia they are keeping an eye on Fulton County because it is heavily democratic. Personally, I believe that is bogus, republicans are looking at everything except themselves to see something mess up. 

***There will be hotlines available to help people who have questions about voting. I like this idea because the internet is there but its also filled with misinformation especially when it comes to a topic like voting so the best thing to do would be to talk to another human well versed in the law. 

Furthermore there are people saying that this is going to be a test of our democracy, which I think is something that happens every time there is an opportunity to vote for someone on a major scale. One of the unspoken rules of the presidency is that it has to be a peaceful transition of power. So every year that someone loses they have to be willing to give up the power peacefully which I believe is more of a "test" of our democracy. 



Questions:

My question for you guys is what are your thoughts about these new laws that are put in place in republican led states? Do you believe that this is just a ploy to manipulate the system for their betterment, or is this something that looks like is going to work. And finally, have you been the polls lately and witnessed different procedure than you did last time?

Why come for the VP?

 This one is going to have a more of a personal touch to it, so lets begin..... Here are some of the claims against VICE PRESIDENT Kamala Harris: ***NYT- 10 months into her vice presidency and she has to really deliver to the administration.  ***Some lady who works for a think tank- she has been hiding this whole time and has been under the radar. ***CNN headline-  Headline Link After these outlets spoke, people in the white house moved to defend her. The press secretary stated that she is vital to the president and has addressed things such ass voting right to the causes of migration. The white house Chief of Staff said she is off the on one of the best starts of any vice president. He stated that she had mad an impact on vaccine equity and foreign policy.  Of course CNN said that the Chief of Staff is one of her biggest supporters so whatever he says is biased. They said after talking to nearly 36 people who worked close with her in the past and now, they all say t...

QAnon got a Perm!!!

 For the longest QAnon was something I would always hear about but never understood, and it was something that was very prevalent during President Trumps tenure in office. To preface my definition, I want to say who it is, is a conspiracy within itself because no one truly knows. The definition that holds the most weight in my eyes is the one that, it is a person who was in the white house (between 2016-2020) who had "Q" level clearance and would go on 8chan and give out tidbits of information to followers that dealt with politics. Although it wouldn't be straight forward, it gave numbers and pieces of information every so often. Needless to say that it the most supporters between the years of 2016-2020. ***Here is an example so you aren't left to you imagination*** Now that I have given you a full overview, I want to tell you guys some of the supporters of them were also there during the capital riots of January 6th. Below is a man with "Q" on his shirt whi...

Facebook gets Cold!!??

My Intro/Apology: I know its been a while sense I last posted something and that is because I got a little lazy, but its fine because I got a double dose for you guys. The interesting this is that I log onto my computer and put in a random news website that popped in my head and Facebook is the top headline, published 8 minutes ago. Both Facebook and the January 6th riots are paying my bills when it comes to getting this done, they always have something going on.  Now Back to the Information: So I know you guys remember about a year ago when the vaccine began to come out and their was a group of people wanted them, hated them, and didn't care. Along with the hateful people came a bunch of their own misconceptions about the newly acquired vaccine. To combat this Facebook literally pushed this kind of information further down peoples feed. One group stated that the reason they didn't do what was mentioned above was they are all about "HUMAN ENGAGEMENT + EYEBALLS = Ad REVENUE...
