US Election enquiry a farce?

The ongoing thing about the stuff that the Russian government interfered with the American general election is getting to the very farcical state of almost frenzy.  No proof even after all this time and creating all sorts of situations with individuals that for the sensibles amongst us who live elsewhere look immature and ludicrous. If you talk to a Russian or even a passing chat right away the nutjobs who pas for politicians on the Hill go the usual childish bananas. Even recently when Presidents trump and Putin were on a break and had a friendly passing encounter the immatures on the political and press world go daft. It is so childish some of the stuff that goes on.

What makes it worse it is all coming from a country that has for generations interfered in other countries it didn't like or would kow-tow. Even find excuses for military involvement and here t is accusing someone else? That added hypocrisy has become standard practice and the media over there are not much better either. For the more sensible brain thinkers over the pond it ust create long sighs and an effort not to shake heads.

It is now getting even more utterly immature and stupidly ludicrous. For goodness sake no proof regarding the election and more blocking of Russia. Instead of a bunch of rich corporate juvenile mindsets should try and have real sensible politicians and system. No proof and going through a farce and considering the history of interfering across the world a damn nerve.

Now Russia has done what the USA did to it in cutting American staff at their Moscow embassy and getting them out of other buildings. Not everyone in Europe is happy with what nutjobland is doing on no basis.

Now Russia has done what it always does? Well, if none end up dead I guess there's a difference from the norm.

You know fine well what I mean so why try to insult yourself by being a smart pants?! You threw out actually a lot less Russians on no proof of election fraud at all. So the Russians rightly did the same back reducing your embassy lot to the same number. Interestingly though you had a damn sight more in Russia than they had in your daft place. You are making such a damn fool of yourselves "punishing" with no proof at all even after all this time. But every time one watches yanks being interviewed on the streets the power of the media and mind control political head bangers is obvious. For a country also that damn well interferes everywhere only adds to the crazy picture. I do live in the hope that a routine kind of democracy might one day take foot over there and the mind controllers reduced.  :hat:

Note that Oregon repeats as the state where it is easiest to vote. Mississippi had been ranked 50th in 2016, and now moves up marginally to 47th place. Texas takes over the 50th spot, representing the state with the most restrictive electoral climate. In particular, Texas has an in-person voter registration deadline 30 days prior to Election Day, has reduced the number of polling stations in some parts of the state by more than 50 percent, and has the most restrictive pre-registration law in the country. States that make voting less costly, like Oregon and Washington, have mail-in voting but also automatic voter registration processes. Other considerations that states with lower COVI values have in common include same day voter registration at the polling station, a significant number of early voting days and laws that make voting more convenient such as paid time off from work to vote.
Table 1 in the article is insightful, listing considerations regarding cost of voting. The aspects there include
- registration drive restrictions (apparently meaning how difficult it is for civil rights initiatives to help people to register to vote),
- automatic voter registration,
- voter ID requirements.
