Federal R politicians are more whorable than Ds, and much of policy sucks. Nearly all of them vote for unethical militarism, for one.
That didn't take long.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_Voter_Registration_Crosscheck_Program: "No states are currently using the Crosscheck program due to its legal suspension"

If harmonizing the voting rolls [poorly] is wrong, how can the electoral College be wrong?

De-gerrymandering is interesting. It could be an algorithm that impartially shrinks the boundaries of each district to a balanced minimum, lopping off excessive appendages.

No you're not. The only thing you've done since suddenly becoming active in the last month is talk politics and try to bait people into reacting to "questions". I expect you to go dark in December like you were the past 9 years.

Say something specific about the recent 3 SC justices or say nothing at all.

2000 was won through the legal process that has been established through most of the country's history. A heist is breaking into businesses because it's convenient when you're already wearing a Covid mask, young, and an idiot amongst a crowd of other idiots, protected by politicians that hamstring law enforcement from doing the jobs they were specifically paid to do.

As I said, I'm open to changing the electoral college because it won't matter in the long run. The result is the same; the non-contributors or worse will make the contributors feel so bad they won't stick up for themselves, and liberty will be murdered.

My vote doesn't matter anywhere, and especially Oregon. I'll vote with my will and intellect, which is way more formidable than my political persuasion.

That reminds me of the one about the two economists who ran into each other at the polls. They quickly looked around to see if anyone else there recognized them, then one said to the other "I won't tell anyone if you won't".

You call it 'baiting' because I ask solid questions that basically go unanswered.

The 2000 election was a heist and the appointments are much about contesting the upcoming election, if need be. 2016 was mostly done through voter roll purging done under the guise of many people with similar names (targeted, as well as what district they're in) supposedly voting in more than one state. Look up Greg Palast for an explanation.

That old saw about reds being the 'contributors' has always been dull.

A vote is like a fax machine. Just one isn't worth anything.

The Power of Big Numbers really kicks in when you get to Bitcoin. You can make up any 50-digits string and it is gar-on-teed to be unique in meat space.

No, I go straight to the heart of the matter. And I use strong principles that I can back up. Strong principles are key. That's why most of what you reply with is nonsense like that- your principles (whatever they are-who knows?) can't withstand questioning.

And I probably will leave the lounge instead of trying to skirt the forum guidelines. Maybe the moderators will clean it up or just delete the lounge because of some of the comments in these threads that belong in the fringe.

It seems some people don't know their principles, know them but hide them and/or can't communicate them and/or can't defend them and resort to other stuff. I have to fill in the blanks to a degree. Quite a bit of what you write is unclear.
