I and my son were born in Ohio. Whenever I hear Vance speak, I am disgusted. His lies and conspiracy theories are absurd. Ohio residents need to rethink why they support him and his boss.

Brilliantly said! I pray that we get the opportunity to amend the Freedom of Speech right to create significant consequences for hate speech, incitement to violence, incitement to illegal actions ( just saw a clip of trump telling rally-goers to use the mail in ballot AND go vote on election day ). Also make sure the 14th Amendment says, specifically, that a person cannot run for president if he is suspected of these things SPECIFICALLY.

The system of voting already is set up to know when you've mailed in your vote,and try to in person vote,the records will show you already voted.Or,if one turns up after your in person vote,that you've already voted and the mail in ballot is invalid and won't be counted.

Either way,that B.S.won't work,Donny boy.

Also what's being proposed is illegal.Everyone knows you get one vote each time a vote is scheduled.No double dipping allowed.

Yes it is illegal & they will catch all those that try it. There is an excellent system in place. I worked full time for our County Registrar of Voters & in the Absentee Dept. Your signature has to match what's on your affidavit & same for your current address. If you have moved, be sure to update with Vote.gov.

I was amazed at the secure, careful systems in place back then. I can only imagine how strict it is now!

Sounds like Trump the psycho already knows he'll be losing... again. 😁💙🩵🇺🇲💙🩵🇺🇲💙🩵🇺🇲💙🩵🇺🇲💙🩵🇺🇲💙🩵🇺🇲

I worked a couple of times in my county's elections,and I too know the rules in place to protect everyone's vote.

It infuriates me to see people who want to cheat our citizens out of our vote.We are supposed to pick who we want to represent us,not them pick who they want to represent and ignore everyone else.

Yes, I know that's true. It is the audacity of his using his rally to set himself up to say there is double dipping, so every vote must be recounted..that is so blatantly pushing us into a chaotic election bumped into the courts for sure. Delay, delay..he grinds the system.

That's his standard M.O.,delay,delay,so he can weasel out a way to get only the outcome favorable to him.

I very much hope that someone is quietly setting things up to thwart his dirty tricks,before things get out of hand again.

Imho, if the GOP candidates are elected, JD will invoke the 25th Amendment, and get all that power and immunity for himself. He is even worse than tfg when it comes to extreme positions on policy and governance. The most important thing to do this election, is to vote blue.

Yes, that's why he's VP. Not because fat lad likes or respects him, but he WILL invoke Project 2025 to the letter. They don't care about Trump. He's a useful, vain, very easily manipulated idiot. And old, with life-shortening dementia. The latter makes the 25th Amendment a goldmine for Vance and the Project extremists. Vote BLUE and make them fight for their fascism.

What I don’t get is. Why all these residents still believe this bullcrap even after the Mayor, other higher ups and Governor Dewine are Denouncing it and these people are still believing these idiots. Oh right, they are all useful idiots also. These people are here legally and these A$$hoes LIE LIE LIE! Thank you Brian great post! As always 😊

Someone as unprincipled as him is especially dangerous, as it is clear he will do and say anything to attain the position and power he craves. He must not be elected to any office. Vote against him always

Thank you, Brian. We cannot underestimate just how dangerous Vance is.

The whole movement is a cult, not a political party. Trump won't be around much longer. He's old and mentally impaired. As Sharon C. Storm pointed out in the Comments, the 25th Amendment is a Get Into The White House Free card, without passing go and getting far more than $200 for the privilege. Vance will follow Project 2025 to the letter. And that piece of fascist script is only the beginning.

If anyone wants to properly terrify themselves, read Robert Jay Lifton's study of "Brainwashing" in China in the 1950s. Their technique was - is? - pretty gruesome but know that many of the westerners brainwashed, then released, still had empathy for Communism and a longing for their old prison days back in Mao's regime, where everyone complied or died. That's how permanent brainwashing can be when it's practised as a pseudo-religion. The prisoners' ensuing "Stockholm Syndrome" horrified me more than the torture they endured during their years behind bars.
