Neo-cons are not right wing.
Its more correct to say they have been more or less kicked out of the republican coalition and are moving into the democrat one. Its a political realinment so all of the pieces and fractions are moving around.

True, see my edit. The question replied to wasn't actually about what right wingers believe, but what conservatives believe. Also I'd add that arguments about which groups do or don't count as a t̶r̶u̶e̶ ̶s̶c̶o̶t̶s̶m̶a̶n̶ right-winger kinda proves my initial point.Their name is a misnomer to a large degree. And you can be conservative without being right-wing. There are such things like Conservative Socialism...

This has been well known for nearly a decade, and was shown first through the research on Moral Foundation Theory by Haidt.Thats is a interesting series of statement please elaborate
It's not that odd, the facts are there but they are inconvenient for the narrative so they tend to be censored.I have seen that idea thrown about but never seen it backed up with anything fact based which is odd,
Bit of a red herring. Conservatives are kind of a loose coalition of many different groups, some of whom have totally separate but mostly non-conflicting beliefs, and some with shared beliefs arrived at through different reasoning.

EDIT; Come to think of it, whether they are or aren't right ring, the response was in reply to a question about what conservatives believe. Pretty sure neo conservatives can be classified as at least a sort of conservative.
He's not wrong that Neocons do view themselves as conservatives.Is a group that was created by marxists and liberals right wing or conservatives?
Left-wing media outlets attempt to downplay concerns over delayed election results and regularize incompetent election administration.
Democrats throughout the political and corporate media spheres are attempting to normalize delayed election results in highly contested states ahead of Election Day, forecasting that final vote totals might not be fully known until well after Nov. 8.
During a Zoom call with reporters last week, Pennsylvania’s acting secretary of state, Leigh Chapman, said that Americans should not be surprised if the state doesn’t have final election results on election night this November, with the Pennsylvania Democrat blaming any potential delays in vote tabulations on a state law that says election workers can’t begin processing mail-in ballots until Election Day.
“Official results will be available within a few days,” Chapman said. “This delay does not mean anything nefarious is happening. It simply means that the process is working as it is designed to work in Pennsylvania and that election officials are doing their job to count every vote.”
Pennsylvania is among nine states and the District of Columbia that permit election officials to begin processing absentee and mail-in ballots prior to the polls closing, but not before Election Day, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. As of Oct. 19, more than a million Pennsylvania voters had applied to vote by mail, with Chapman telling reporters the “overwhelming majority” of mail-in ballot requests have come from Democrats.
Delayed election results are not a new phenomenon for Pennsylvania; back in late May, the state took over a week to finalize the results of its Republican Senate primary that saw Mehmet Oz locked in a close contest with Dave McCormick. Voters in the state also experienced similar delays during the 2020 presidential election, where it took several days for the state to be called for then-candidate Joe Biden.
Most recently, the U.S. Supreme Court tossed out a lower court ruling that had allowed undated mail-in ballots to be counted, which is a violation of Pennsylvania law. Despite such statutory obligations and the high court’s ruling, Chapman decided to take matters into her own hands and flat-out told counties in the commonwealth that they didn’t need to comply with the ruling. The statement from Chapman has since prompted a lawsuit from the Republican National Committee and other GOP groups.
Democrats’ 2022 Playbook
In predictable fashion, left-wing media outlets are attempting to downplay concerns over delayed election results and regularize incompetent election administration. In the write-up of Chapman’s remarks, for instance, ABC News went out of its way to run interference for the Pennsylvania Democrat and titled the article, “Why Pennsylvania may not have election night results and why that’s OK.”
Other notable outlets pushing the same narrative include Politico, which on Sept. 19 ran an article headlined, “Why we may not know who won the Senate on Election Day,” that detailed how it “took five days after Election Day 2020 to tally enough votes for media organizations to call the presidential race for Joe Biden” and warned that the “same thing could happen in some of the country’s most important midterm elections this year.”
“Many of the same factors in the same battleground states are at play in 2022, starting with races that could have very slim margins,” state politics reporter Zach Montellaro wrote. “Add in the continued popularity of mail voting and state laws in Pennsylvania and elsewhere that can delay processing of those ballots, and the chance of another waiting game is distinct — possibly with control of the Senate up in the air.”
Not wanting to miss out on all the fun, the left-wing “fact checker” Politifact ran a similar piece on Oct. 3 titled, “Not all results will be known on election night 2022. That’s normal.” Citing several political journalists and “election experts,” the article’s authors argue that while there are “a few reasons to hope that the 2022 midterm elections will produce a faster count than 2020 did,” a “big lesson of 2020 voting — being patient — will be important this year, too.”
“Americans may not know on election night which party will control the House or Senate in 2023, if the results are close in multiple states with hot congressional races,” the Politifact report reads. “It might take days, or longer, to count enough ballots to know with reasonable certainty the outcome of key races.”
“People shouldn’t think of ‘election night’ anymore, rather ‘election week,'” it added.
Cause for Concern?
Try as they may to soften the blow of delayed election results, Democrats’ plan is banal at best. In 2020, outlets such as The New York Times and The Washington Post were already attempting to prepare voters for a long, drawn-out election process stemming from a massive increase in mail-in voting. Fairly soon, the media began pushing the narrative that Trump’s presumed election night lead, or the “red mirage,” would evaporate as mail-in ballots — which were used heavily by Democrat voters — were counted in the days following the election.
Despite their bid to cast “election week” as the “new normal,” the extensive amount of time it takes for U.S. election officials to finalize election results is embarrassing when compared to other first-world countries. In France, for example, it took officials less than 24 hours to determine the winner of its recently held presidential election. To date, the European nation still uses paper ballots in elections, while mail-in voting was outlawed in 1975 over concerns of “potential fraud.”
While none of this is to say that any potential delays in counting in the 2022 midterms will be a result of fraud, international election observers have indicated that delayed election results are one of several warning signs of incompetent election administration. But above all, forcing voters to wait in limbo while government officials take days to determine the outcome of an election does nothing but raise suspicions among the electorate about the validity and transparency of the electoral process. In the end, the biggest losers are the people themselves, whose trust in one of their country’s core institutions is further eroded and destroyed.
Delayed just long enough to know how many fake ballots the Dems will need to win key races, particularly in the Senate.Democrats Are Already Telling Americans To Expect Delayed Election Results This Fall

'Delay', uh-huh....

I think the Dems and elite may allow the GOP to take a slim majority in the House, just to 'calm' the GOP base a little, but I doubt the GOP will be allowed to have over 50 seats in the Senate.
Didn't realize this was an issue, removed.Then we know what we have to do.
This is something the Left has not respected at all, and it is not enforced against them.Actually it is against the law to record video within a polling place, nor may you take photographs. In AZ, at least, nothing of the sort may happen within the 75 foot bubble around the polls.
Please do not advocate for people to break the law.
Have they fixed the so called 'non-internet connected' voting machines, because if the machines/voting software just does the 'D votes = 1.23, R votes = 0.77' shit, it doesn't matter how secure the front end is.I will say, as a poll worker, that this cycle, unlike 2020, we are actually getting the proper materials to follow secure election procedures (tamper-evident seals, proper chains of custody, proper two-person rules for handling ballots, etc). As such, any chicanery will be happening on the back end, not the front end.
I wouldn't mind getting rid of mail in voting, but that's the only real way for deployed military and some disabled people to vote.I would prefer an end to mail-in ballots, however there is a proposition on the ballot that effectively neuters the ability to cheat that way by adding verifiable ID requirements to mail-in ballots as well as tightening up ID requirements. While it will be irritating to check IDs for people dropping off mail-in ballots, it's something that needs to be done.
Actually we enforce the 75 foot bubble rather vigorously, normally. In the 2018 and 2020 cycles this wasn't true, due to the incompetent moron in charge, but in 2022 we enforce it very strongly. The anti-electioneering provisions have been in place for at least 50 years in AZ.This is something the Left has not respected at all, and it is not enforced against them.
And why is it against the law for people to take photo's of their own votes in a polling booth? And why is is illegal to get evidence of any fuckery people notice in polling stations?
This sounds like the sort of law the Dems put in place to make it easier to pull shit like they did in 2020.

Securing vote-by-mail with ID checks and such is a move in the right direction though.
Hmm, ok then; I had not realized the prohibition on recording your vote and voting place were part of electioneering provisions.Actually we enforce the 75 foot bubble rather vigorously, normally.

Well, having tamper seals on those ports is a step in the right direction.The in-precinct tabulators now have proper tamper evident seals on the doors that would allow access to any such ports, plus we run both zero and results tapes. The shenanigans will come with adjudication of provisional ballots and such, rather than the ordinary ballots.
Hmm, ok then; I had not realized the prohibition on recording your vote and voting place were part of electioneering provisions.
The connections are indirect, there are ports that are used for uploading the ballot styles into the tabulators memory (so it can properly read the almost 500+ ballot styles in use in Maricopa County) but you can hook up external network ports using them. With the tamper-evident seals that is no longer possible, we record all seal information and preserve any opened seals (we remove them at the end of the night in order to remove the results cartridge, which is brought to the receiving site along with the tapes).Hmm, ok then; I had not realized the prohibition on recording your vote and voting place were part of electioneering provisions.
Well, having tamper seals on those ports is a step in the right direction.
Still think voting machines that can connect to the internet or any network at all is a hilarious stupid idea and very open to abuse, but at least something meaningful is being done to attempt to address the problem.
