OT: Illinois fair tax: yes or no?

[dice]

I do an extensive amount of study on an issue as important as this election. I totally ignore popular opinion, popular "wisdom", corporate media and I don't watch TV. I could write a fairly long treatise here on the tea leaves that clearly (to me) point to a significant Trump victory today. I'll spare you that, but I will call the outcome here at 2:18 PM on Election Day: Trump 327 Biden 211.

Well if you only count the non-fraudulent ballots then Trump wins 308-230.

voter fraud is vanishingly scarce. that's well established based on decades of conservatives searching for it with a fine toothed comb. and, frankly, it's common damn sense. why? because it's not REMOTELY worth the risk to cast a fraudulent ballot. the benefit is negligible and the penalty for getting caught is high...particularly if you're an illegal immigrant

i'm amazed that you're still showing up here after that preposterous prediction of yours. now you're doubling down with ridiculous conspiracy theories. if you have any evidence of voter fraud in this election, please provide it. if you're just ASSUMING systemic fraud that democrats are engaging in but birthers are honorably refraining from engaging in (likely story), you should have factored that in to whatever rinky dink "analysis" you were doing

There are election shenanigans on both sides. But I don't understand how one side could forge tens of thousands of ballots in several states. It's just doesn't seem possible.

Locking this thread due to the issue being over and a desire to not keep permanent political threads open long term. We recognize the desire to talk about this important issue for Illinois but for permanent political talk you can go to the CA forum (though I hear its a cesspool) or a political website. (this is unrelated to the post I'm editing, I just didn't want to bump it)
