I dunno about the bar. Hard to keep people apart in a bar but you're obviously much more likely to catch it from the bathroom door handle than from someone breathing halfway across the room.
The campgrounds though? Yea, F that. No mask necessary.

You're missing the point completely.

Just found out my HR administrator's Mom passed away from Covid 2 weeks ago. First person personally connected to me. Feel so bad for her.

Not really.
It's private property and nobody has to go there if they don't want to follow the rules. That should go without saying.
My response was about the practical effects of the owners' decisions.

And yes the comment about p***yes and sheep was funny.

If you support this private business’ decision, do you also support decisions by Costco and other stores that are requiring masks? Also, what are your thoughts on the people who claim their rights are being infringed upon by said private stores requiring masks?

Yes, I also support Costco and other places of business who do require masks for employees and/or visitors.

Nobody's rights are being infringed on. It's private property. If you don't like the rules, don't go.

Not that I belong to any of the two parties as they are one in the same at the end of the day but the president is right on here, he sees how much bs fear mongering and number manipulation is going on and he is calling it as it is.

 

[SnakePlissken]

Fair enough. What does altering an application accomplish exactly? If it was a democrat whose application was changed to republican, what does that change?

The ballot applications are for a June primary election for the gubernatorial race, so I would think you'd get a ballot with the Republican candidates rather than the Democrats.

What is the number manipulation to which you refer?

I made the mistake of reading this thread again.

The only reason you don't belong to either party is because you're Canadian.

It's pretty apparent what side you'd support.

That seems kind of significant?

Politics in Canada are the exact same way. Conservative (Trump) or Liberal (Biden)

I know.

It's 5 people in West Virginia for a primary. To me, no, that's not significant, but I'm fine with them making an example of this goof in order to send a message that they are serious about the integrity of the process.

 

[Crow]

That’s not what happened.

That’s how it read to me but I certainly could be wrong.

Yeah, 5 people now, more in the future? Isn't one, too many?

 

[CallMeShaft]

Tell me how many times 5 votes could've changed anything in this country (US)?

Voter fraud is very rare. It does happen, but it doesn't ever happen to such a degree that it changes the outcome of an election. And if it did, it'd be by such a low amount that a recount would be conducted, those illegitimate votes would be discovered, and the individuals would be jailed for it.

Now the positives for vote-by-mail would be having more people voting and voicing their opinion in a democracy and, during a time like this, would allow individuals to vote safely without fear of contracting an illness.

The only reason some are still against it in this country is because those individuals know their side would lose if more people were able to vote. That should be their problem, not ours.

As insignificant as this was, it was caught. If you're concerned about the process, I would think this would help alleviate your concern.

I am conservative (fiscally) and I am nowhere close to being a Trump supporter. This new Republican party is nowhere close to anything I want to be a part of.

Here's an interesting article on just that:

Here's an interesting article on just that:
Why Every Vote Matters — The Elections Decided By A Single Vote (Or A Little More)

So, if my counting in that article is correct, 25 cases throughout the US' history. Out of thousands of elections.

And like I had said, if we're talking voter fraud, the illegitimate votes would be low enough that if that was what changed the results, it'd almost certainly result in a recount where those votes would likely be caught.

This is the biggest of non-issues.

Can they possibly be that inept?

 

[KWP]

Stop it dude, they are far too indoctrinated, your simple logic flies over heads, those who have eyes will see...

T/y for this ...
Have had more enjoyable interludes ... No big tho, really.

Here's to better days for all of us ...
