  1. ROTFLMAO! Take a look at Colorado voting, which since 2013 has been entirely by mail. 8.06 million ballots cast statewide and you know how many people have been convicted of voter fraud in that period? NINE. That's 0.000111687792 percent. Extrapolate that onto the 2016 presidential vote and you'll expect to find 144 fraudulent ballots nationwide. Do you really want to hang onto that 'manipulate the election' theory?
  2. Study up on how vote-by-mail actually works.
  3. You really have no idea how the electoral college works, do you? A candidate can be elected POTUS by winning in a certain 12 states. Study civics, at least to the level required for new citizens and then come back.
  4. Open caskets.
  5. You posted it; why not research before you promulgate falsehoods.
  6. You raise an interesting point. It is disappointing to think any voter stays home because they think the electoral college effectively negates their vote, especially when one considers all the down ballot races. Sure, your vote for a presidential candidate might not count on a national basis, but please vote and help decide legislative and local races.
  7. There is no Constitutional limit on the size of the Supreme Court.
  8. Wait until democrats gain the majority in the Senate and win the White House. They'll introduce legislation (and pass it) to expand the number of SCOTUS justices by 3 or 4 and then Biden will fill the seats. Talk about heads exploding.
  9. "The National Collegiate Hockey Conference has discussed numerous options for kicking off the 2020-21 season, and one of them involves bringing all eight member schools to one location and reeling off a number of games between Thanksgiving and Christmas." The Ralph could be a 'hub'? https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/hockey/6660448-The-NCHC-is-discussing-the-possibility-of-a-hub-city-could-Grand-Forks-be-an-option
  10. How many think there are no rare earth minerals in their cell phones? https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjGn_Sy0PDrAhV9B50JHZ9XBGIQFjABegQIDBAE&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.com%2Ffuture%2Farticle%2F20161017-your-old-phone-is-full-of-precious-metals&usg=AOvVaw0OZ6ZQxiSHI3_GTlB-MT23
  11. Or maybe she just used campaign contributions.
  12. Our present fossil fuels are heavily subsidized, too. "Conservative estimates put U.S. direct subsidies to the fossil fuel industry at roughly $20 billion per year; with 20 percent currently allocated to coal and 80 percent to natural gas and crude oil. European Union subsidies are estimated to total 55 billion euros annually." https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjaqeH8zvDrAhXPKs0KHaYjAykQFjACegQIDBAG&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eesi.org%2Fpapers%2Fview%2Ffact-sheet-fossil-fuel-subsidies-a-closer-look-at-tax-breaks-and-societal-costs&usg=AOvVaw19hoVerhdeT2ikCdjE4CH6
  13. I'm not upset at all. I'm just pointing out how things work at the Nobel Institute.
  14. I can say I've nominated you and no one can truthfully say otherwise until the official list of nominees is released 50 years from now.
  15. From the article you cited: "The five-strong Norwegian Nobel Committee, which decides who wins the award, does not comment on nominations, keeping secret for 50 years the names of nominators and unsuccessful nominees."
  16. How do you know this? The Nobel Institute does not release the names of nominees. In fact, the names of Nobel Peace Prize nominees aren't revealed until 50 years after the prize is awarded.
  17. More likely a money pit. https://www.grandforksherald.com/opinion/columns/6652971-McFeely-Will-taxpayers-be-left-out-in-the-cold-by-Project-Tundra
  18. Fox News 9 reporting, so it must be true: https://www.fox9.com/news/56-covid-19-cases-linked-to-wedding-reception-in-southwestern-minnesota
  19. You should read the entire article: "But researchers say the solution is not to test less, or to skip testing people without symptoms, as recently suggested by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Instead, new data underscore the need for more widespread use of rapid tests, even if they are less sensitive."
  20. Woden tries to bring some order to what is certainly an on-going chaos: https://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/2020/08/25_The-Path-Back.php
  21. Good grief. You're bragging about IQs when you can't make it through six sentences without showing your complete lack of command of the English language? Try again after you polish off basic life skills. And by the way, voters in over half the counties in North Dakota have voted completely by mail for years.
  22. And you obviously don't realize how vote-by-mail works. Try again when you get yourself educated beyond what fauxNews pours into your head.
  23. Name an assumption. I can update my physical address online. Y'all realize 32 of North Dakota's 53 counties have been voting by mail for several years, right? By the way, 72% of eligible Colorado voters cast ballots in the last presidential election. North Dakota barely hit 60%.
  24. My Colorado ballot is automatically mailed to my address of record. It will be mailed to that address until I notify Colorado of an address change. I vote, sign the ballot and drop it in the mail or at a secure collection site. If the signature doesn’t match what’s on file with the State of Colorado, the ballot, and the vote is invalidated. it is the system that ought to be adopted nationally, but it won’t be because it was enacted by a ‘bunch of liberal treehuggers’
  25. Because having covid is no guarantee you won't get it again. As I've said before, the antibodies are short-lived and won't provide "immunity". Any vaccine is going to have to focus on t-cells rather than living or dead covid cells.
