The Electoral College
Why not start a rousing discussion about the whether to keep the Electoral College or do away with it? We need a distraction from this wacky presidential election.

Yes there is voter fraud going on Brain. We need strict Voter ID laws and an accountability system to make sure that everyone can only vote ONCE and that illegal aliens can't vote (which they often do).

“If you don’t have voter ID, you can just keep voting and voting and voting,” he (Donald Trump) told The Washington Post. (This literally doesnt happen)

Okay ND why a photo ID? Why not a birth certificate. Do you believe that any citizen born in the US who is not a felon is afforded the right to vote?

Every citizen born in the United States or every naturalized citizen absolutely has the right to vote. They have to be registered to vote (right now) and they should have to show some form of identification to vote.

Okay thats two different answers. A right is a right.

It doesn't necessarily have to be a photo ID, but it needs to be some form of identification.

Right now people can only vote if they are registered. Should we do away with voter registration as well Brain?

You just said its a right. The same as freedom of speech or the right to express a religion. I dont need an ID to express my religion do I?

The problem with the voter laws is that it both presumes and indicts and robs citizens without an ID of a basic right without any proof they **ARENT**.
ND (879 D)
16 Oct 16 UTC
Yeah you have the right to do it but you have to at a bare minimum register to vote. You should have to have an ID as well to vote.

It's also a right/privilege because the right to vote can be taken away if you are a felon. Just like the right/privilege to own a gun can be taken away if you are a felon. Just like the right to free speech has stipulations such as causing a public panic if you do that then you are subject to the consequences.

Just because it is a right doesn't mean that there shouldn't be any restrictions. A voter ID protects the system from fraud. It's necessary and needed or the dems will continue to pack the polls with unregistered illegal votes and keep stealing elections.

Classic case of guilt before innocence of wrongdoing. Why would the policy be designed to believe poor people without an ID are fraudulently rigging elections?

Do you seriously think illegal immigrants are voting in elections and risking deportation to vote against Trump. Please god answer this question.
ND (879 D)
16 Oct 16 UTC
This is a classic example between someone who actually wants to protect the system (me) and someone who wants to open it up to tampering and manipulation (brain).

Brain is a smart guy, but he knows (just as I know) that the only way the Democratic Party can win is through voter fraud. Thus, to protect his criminal organization (the Democratic Party) he seeks to expose ideas that continue and perpetuate illegal and fraudulent voting.

They have come up with an excuse (oh! It disenfranchises people) which is completely and utter bull****. They know it. We know it. Everyone in this country knows it, but they keep peddling the same line like some tired snake oil salesman.

It really burns me up.
orathaic (1009 D(B))

@ND, actually, i believe you will find Brain is trying to protect the system aswell.

What he is trying to protect it from however, what he see as the bigger problem, is people not being able to vote. Clearly a matter of differing priorities.

"Brain is a smart guy, but he knows (just as I know) that the only way the Democratic Party can win is through voter fraud."
Yes, the only way they can win an election where the polls consistently say they'll win is by cheating. That way you're not setting yourself up for disappointment.

Okay, gloves off. lets go.

1) Protecting what system? the system is rigged as you just pointed out to favor people who have the where-with-all to go out and get themself a photo ID. I know this must seem crazy to imagine, but alot of people 18,19, 20 in inner cities dont have cars, and they dont have photo ID's. A lot of seniors dont have valid Photo ID's anymore either because A. they old, and B. they only would need it to vote. So again I ask, and you keep ignoring the obvious to say you wanna protect against Fraud... who is actually voting over and over and over?

2) Trump says that people are actually voting over and over and over,

To bring it back to the larger point, Voter Suppression, is to install policies which make it harder, more frustrating, and more difficult to vote. I can tell you that in a (RED STATE) Nebraska, the process just to get an absentee ballot wasnt easy. I had to register to vote in my home county, then tell them I had a change of address, them fax them my request for an absentee ballot. Okay... why the hell isnt there just a button to click to request an absentee ballot? im a registered voter, all it would take is an automated system to approve me. They dont even bother to have that.

Instead of recalibrating fucked up voting machines, or improving long lines at the polls, the best they can come up with is vicious laws designed to keep people with voter cards away?

ND youve even said yourself Hillary Clinton isnt that popular. Do you really think the only way Hillary would win is by inner city people voting over and over for her? If shes so unpopular who the living hell would even do that anyway?

People are voting over and over again. Hillary's campaign is ripping up Republican voter registrations.

Illegal aliens are being allowed to vote when they aren't naturalized.

@Brain: Pretty much the only chance they have is to get the dead vote, illegal vote, and poll rigging.

@ND: Pretty much the only chance Trump has is to get the white male vote, the conservative base vote, and the pro rape vote. Maybe a few tablespoons of Gerrymandering, a teaspoon of racism, and a garnish of healthy send them home rhetoric.

Why is aviable the no messages setting? I think is against the essence of the game, that's diplomacy. Nevertheless this option is very common. I think Diplomacy without diplomacy is like basketball without basket (or ball if you prefer). What do you think about it?

Question of Electoral Ethics
For the district where I'm registered to vote, the US representative seat is only being sought by one person. By Oklahoma state statute, unopposed candidates don't even appear on the ballot, nor is there the opportunity to write-in a candidate. Do you think the name of unopposed candidates should be printed on the ballot?

Full Press Explanation
I searched the rules and the faq. I may be dense. I cannot find an explanation of what full press means. Also, is it illegal to send a PM to one of the players in a game if the players are not anonymous? For example, if I see the deadline ticking down and my ally hasn't put in orders, may I send her a PM to alert her that she might miss the turn?

Unranked games have counted towards GR
Hey just wanted you guys to know that GR has been broken for a while now, with unranked games being counted towards GR since it's been integrated.

Do not worry, I've already contacted the mods, and they are working feverishly to fix the problem and it should be fixed by the next GR update, but I felt that all of you should know. Hold on one second while I get my proof for this.
