Mixed News for Nevada GOP, NYT Plays Speech Police, Ballot Drop Box Dangers

by

Listen to “Mixed News for Nevada GOP, NYT Plays Speech Police, Ballot Drop Box Dangers” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg in this episode of 3 Martini Lunch as they update the Democrats’ latest efforts to get donations from “Doris” and “Diane.” They also discuss key events affecting the GOP in Nevada, the New York Times’ partisan focus on “misinformation,” and more proof that ballot drop boxes are a terrible idea.

They kick things off with a fun update on recent Harris campaign fundraising pitches sent to the wrong recipients. Jim and Greg share the Democrats’ persistent attempts to get “Doris” and “Diane” (who are really just Greg and Jim) to donate—and the various psychological tactics they use that have no chance of working.

Moving to the Nevada battleground, they discuss the latest mixed results for the GOP. Early voting trends show Republicans gaining a lot of ground in this cycle, but a recent Nevada Supreme Court ruling allows mail-in ballots to be counted even if received days after Election Day and without a postmark.

They also tackle the latest efforts from the left-leaning media to target online conservative content. Ben Shapiro highlighted an email he received from a New York Times reporter about an upcoming piece that critiques right-leaning YouTube channels based on data from the Soros-funded Media Matters for America. They slam the Times’ reliance on the far-left MMFA’s analysis and the implications for conservative voices online.

Finally, they cover disturbing reports from Washington and Oregon of incendiary devices placed in ballot drop boxes, leading to some serious ballot damage. Jim and Greg want the perpetrators punished severely, but they also see this as just the latest sign that ballot drop boxes are a terrible idea for people interested in fair and secure elections.

And they blast CNN for booking Greta Thunberg to be an expert guest for its coronavirus town hall.

The Dangers of Rushing to Vote by Mail

by

Listen to “The Dangers of Rushing to Vote by Mail” on Spreaker.

Concerns over the coronavirus have forced the postponement of several political primaries and Wisconsin recently served as the focal point of a bitter debate over in-person voting during a health crisis.

Many voting rights activists are now pushing hard for voting by mail to be an option for every voter come November, but some experts say that idea could lead to big problems with election integrity.

President Trump and others contend voting by mail – while available in every state – is more vulnerable to fraud than in-person voting.

Hans von Spakovsky served on the Federal Election Commission, on President Trump’s commission on election integrity, and manages the Election Law Reform Initiative at the Heritage Foundation.  In this podcast, von Spakovsky explains why he thinks this push is premature, why House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s approach to voting by mail would be an election integrity nightmare, and why voting by mail does open up the most opportunities for mischief.
