Florida proposes first ever election police force.

[metis]

Given the events that happened last January, perhaps DeSantis and other politicians should look into supporting a police force to counter insurrection attempts rather than unproven "voter fraud."

Amen.

 

[Secret Chief]

It was also abolished in UK

Huh?
I must have missed that.

I do know that the current UK rightwing government wants to bring in measures to counteract the fraud that does not exist. What's that you say, it's really an attempt to supress voting by the segment of society less likely to vote rightwing? Nonsense I say, nonsense.

As far as I know, there was no electronic voting in the last parliamentary elections.
But if you know there was, tell me where I can read about it, please.

As far as I know electronic voting is not a thing here. Never has been. I've been voting in local, general and European elections for 40 years.


"Ways of voting
You can vote:

• in person at a polling station
• by post
• by asking someone else to vote for you (voting by proxy)

You cannot vote online in any elections."

[Secret Chief]

Ah...mail in voting is included as electronic voting. Right.

That's what I do and I can assure you there's nothing electronic about it!

 

[Estro Felino]

Yes...sorry...I got confused with the American system.
Sorry again.

In Germany electronic voting was abolished after Angela Merkel was elected.

Proving that the elections must have been fraudulent, since the True People would have never elected such a slave to the international, rootless banking elite. Correct?

I don't think DeSantis has this in mind as much as frightening minority voters.

 

[F1fan]

I don't think it's really necessary as we already have the FBI.

But on the other hand, if a special police force is engaged on the fly, it might detect and enforce fraud much sooner and quicker and apprehend those responsible in a way that helps avoid after the facts issues that have plauged our modern day elections.

What do you think? Should there be a police force soley focused on preservation of the voting system?

Who will this special Florida election police force answer to in Florida? DeSantis himself? Will they wear brown shirts?

This is a governor who has a law that makes it illegal for businesses and schools to mandate masks. Is he a guy we can trust working for the public good?

 

[F1fan]

So far the replies seem to be nothing but a bunch of pro-democracy leftists out to destroy the republican way of life.

Let's hear from conservatives. Being shy for a reason?

It has nothing to do with that.
Electronic voting is not safe, regardless of the outcome.

Back in the old days Chicago used to have "election police", too. All cronies of the "machine" politicians and their mobster associates. They were there to make sure that the 'fix' stayed fixed.

Not surprised this party is scared to death of some other non-existent boogeyman. They already fear an anthropomorphic red goat, so what's another crazy thing to be afraid of?

 

[The Hammer]

I think that the electronic voting is not safe. So...Florida's measure is very sensible.
Or alternatively, they can suppress electronic voting.

There is no proof that electronic voting is unsafe.

This last election was the safest and most secure in US history.

 

[sun rise]

It appears unnecessary....unless one believes
that Trump's win was stolen. There's a risk that
cops in a highly politically charged environment
with a governor who wants a particular outcome
might be corrupt.

I'd put it as "will be corrupt". I can see them standing guns drawn at majority black polling places demanding proof of citizenship for all who come to vote. It is part of the right-wing attempt to steal upcoming elections. STOP THE STEAL.

 

[Kooky]

No, actually! They abolished the specific type of voting machine used in the 1998-2005 trial runs, but the Verfassungsgericht did not rule out electronic voting in principle, so long as it can be sufficiently safeguarded against fraud.

Seems a rather extreme vision.

I recall going to vote in Chicago in the 80s and seeing a big scary guy standing over the ballot box. He'd tell you to hand your ballot to him, and he would put it in the slot in the box (why?). And as he did so, he would tell you your name, and where you lived (not just the address, but by description), and who you worked for (none of this was on the ballot). Now, I never saw or met this guy in my life, so how did he know me? And why did he want me to know that he knew me? I'll tell you why. He wanted me to know, and everyone that was voting to know, that the 'Chicago machine' was watching. And that they had a very long reach. It was about intimidation, plain and simple.

This will be the inevitable result of establishing "election police". Guaranteed.

No not really. It's just letting the readers know who is actually showing their true colors as indicated by the sheer hatred of the right while defending themselves as being the sole saviors of the entirety of democracy.

Of course, everyone knows how blue states are run and the results of each election in terms of how it effects their respective populations.

I dunno. It an idea he's floating around , but it seems you already have a pre made picture on how the police force actually will be structured and implemented.

I personally don't think you will be meeting Big Tony at the polling place handing out the ballot forms giving you a wink and a scowl.
