Get ready for civil war.
I disagree. I suggest to ignore this call for violence.
Is someone trying to manipulate and deceive you into violence? Related sticky discussion about ignoring calls for violence at https://voat.co/v/QRV/2806951
A call for Equal Justice Under Law is not to confuse with a call for violence
I just had the most insane of thoughts ... would it be possible to somehow set Biden up to win and yet us remain in control, or regain control.??
Like I’m thinking something like 100% of the vote goes to Biden and then military steps in or something?
I dunno just a crazy thought while doin my nightly lurk through QRV

Blockchain is just an underlying mechanism. How do you put your vote on there? It will have to be mediated by a voting machine (hackable, have been shown in the past to have all kind of vulnerabilities), an app (fraught with identification problems), or still by mail etc (not much advantage over the current system).
Many countries still use paper ballots marked with markers, did you know? If you Americans could count at a reasonable speed, like the rest of the world, you wouldn’t need to worry about how this whole thing is run. Most anglosphere countries also manage to have successful mail in ballots for special elections, absentee voting, etc without cases of fraud beyond isolated individual incidents.
Stop trying to use technology to solve every People Problem.

It did not escape the founders and writers of the constitution that one day in the future this would happen. Human nature over the centuries has never changed. They built in the answer at least for the presidential election. The Electoral College is mandated to meet and vote this year on December 9, 2020.
If a state has not finished counting and they have zero college delegates then states allocated votes will be disregarded. The 270 needed to win will shrink by that number. Once the vote is taken the remainder of the process is a mere formality.

It's only going to take a week or two to generate enough "mail in ballots" to swing necessary states after initial results are reported on Election Day, not an entire month.

My only thing is 1). That's no less chaotic and 2). if you haven't noticed no one in the entire nation is following the rules anymore so I don't see why they would suddenly start now

I hate this fucking country because we refuse to prosecute anyone for breaking the rules. I just want them all dead for their crimes.
