Mail in Ballets? D or R??

This video showed up lastnite on FB
Can not verify, but the FB thought police are not blocking it?

Tina M Brown tells a story about her brothers and her ballets, one marked D and one marked R. (see attached pic)

I can't believe it's valid, but it sure looks legit??

I can only point to my copy of FB.

Since I don't do FB I can only guess as to what the issue is? What is she implying? Could it be her and her brother are registered as Dem and Rep?

Sorry, I thought you could watch the vid without being an FB'er

She shows her ballet with an R in the reference number on the envelope, she's a registered Republican.
On her brothers, it shows a D, as he is a registered Democrat

She implies that all you need do is toss all the R envelopes, Ba Da Bing..

Look at the last position, of the 3rd set of characters on each pic.

It does make it far more convenient for postal carriers to ditch the appropriate ballots.

Coincidence that a postal workers union just came out in favor of Joe Biden ??

Knowing if it's a D or an R the decision to throw way could even be made at the election office.

Like the office where 110% voted.

A person would not know until they checked their status after the election - like in NC. Some time after the election you can go look up your page and see your voting record. Of course if you find you "didn't vote" in the last election you'll be told "too late."

For a nation that put a man on the moon we sure seem inept when it comes to minimizing potential voter fraud.

Voting should require a valid government issued ID.

Shit, flying does...purchasing some decongestant does...getting into the DNC convention does.

We are VERY adept at the things that the political elites WANT....

Yup. It sure seems the Dems wouldn't mind seeing little “Portland’s...” crop up around the country...

I've been on that bird. It's hard to believe that those bells are actually ringing...

Sometimes it takes the pilot turning around in his seat and saying, "hey - get the fuck out"

I recall being told NOT to assume the crash position and someone saying they were going to go Bugs Bunny m the way in.

Here's to Bugs and Fache their crash bells

It appears the ballots marked D or R are being sent out for primaries in a state with closed party primaries. The general election in November will have unmarked ones.

Thanks for the link.
It's amazing that my post on FB went over 24 hrs and the FB Think Police didn't say a word..

We've just returned from camping in WY and often park in Walmart or casino parking lots when on the road. Last night we stayed at Isleta Casino near ABQ. Since I'm 70, I use that as an excuse to let my much younger wife do the shopping and pick up food for takeout. At the casino, she first had to join their players club by showing ID before being allowed to enter. The only food available inside was at Panda Express. She had to show her ID (drivers license and players card) to order.

Now about that voting thing . . .
