The Democrats are going to rig the next election the same way they cheated last time

You will have to address that question to RV.
And as you said, he's not going to answer. I've asked several times now for proof that the Democrats "rigged" or "stole" the last election, but so far it's been crickets. Or more accurately, RV has asserted that the lack of evidence is itself the proof.
The core of every nut job conspiracy theory is the belief that lack of evidence is proof of how good the conspirators are at hiding evidence.


Unfortunately the majority of the Republican Party and the right wing in America have been gripped by a nut job conspiracy theory. The GOP under Trump has become like the "Weekly World News" tabloid that used to be on grocery store shelves, but instead of being an absurd rag where the creators clearly got the joke, the Republicans (as evidenced by their convention) aren't joking.
It's a demonstration of Poe's Law.
 
they still think that Trump won in 2020
I say we agree with them, and declare Trump ineligible for the 2024 election on 22nd Amendment grounds.

Sorry, Donald, but you won twice, so you can't run a third time.

;)
There even some MAGA that claim he IS operating as president and Biden is just a figurehead.
Moreover, even if the poll workers do greet voters by name, they nevertheless ask for birthday and name to be matched to the roster.
I don't recall ever being asked for my birthday.

However, I always bring the sample ballot along, they simply scan it.
In Australia you tell your name (obviously) and your address, to be checked off, because many people have same name.
I think it would also happen that sometimes people have both same name and same birthday, and are living in same voting district (we call them electorates).

But we fix that because we have 2 things Americans don't have;

1) A willingness to employ enough public servants to ensure the electoral process goes smoothly (right wing inbred libertarian dipshit americans call this socialism - normal Americans have learned to just live with it unfortunately)

2)The democracy sausage (not a porn reference)

Scan it--as in barcode. Faster and more accurate than anything a human types.

Scan what? Voter?

Scans are hackabke and definitely not infallible.

We already have that as an option. You don't have to bring your Voter Information Card with you when you vote, but it does make it easier for the AEC (or QEC) staff at the booth if people do.

They send out a sample ballot--useful for the down ballot races where you don't know as much about the candidates. There's a barcode on it. The polling stations accept the information that comes up when they scan said ballot.
 
A research firm hired by former President Donald Trump's 2020 campaign to validate the former president's claims of election fraud instead was unable to find evidence to support his theories, nor were the findings released to the public, according to The Washington Post.

The Berkeley Research Group was commissioned by the Trump campaign to analyze the voting data from six states to probe whether voter fraud or any irregularities had occurred during the 2020 election. Areas of focus for the probe were voter machine malfunctions, allegations that a mass of deceased individuals had voted in the election, and other evidence that could point to a Trump victory, per the report.

The Trump campaign envisioned using evidence from the report to bolster the then-president's claims in the public arena and in court.

But individuals with knowledge of the situation told The Post that the results didn't line up with what the Trump team had sought, and the research group's findings were subsequently not disclosed to the public.

This is "Find Me The Fraud II, Electric Boogaloo."

A lot of people seem to have forgotten that in the wake of the 2016 election - in which Trump lost the popular vote to Clinton - his administration empaneled a blue-ribbon commission to "find the fraud" and prove his claims that Clinton's margin in said popular vote was due to massive voter fraud. Millions of illegal immigrants being bussed to various states and what not.

Less than a year later, the thing was quietly shuttered after finding - spoiler alert - no evidence of "widespread voter fraud." In fact they found precious few incidences. That was just the first movie, though.

Will there be another sequel called "Find Me The Fraud III, This Time It's Personal?"

I'd put money on that. And make a side bet that they don't find any. Again.
 
All elections where the Democrats win are rigged, but where Republicans win they are fair and honest.

It’s just a convenient way to narrow down the pop-up list from the voter book. It’s easier to hear a date than a street address. This year they are training us to ask birthday first, then the screen gives up the people in that voting district with that birthday, and when you ask for their name it is easier to hear the match when you are looking at a list of 5 names and you see the one you hear.

It’s just a time-saving tactic that they are teaching poll-workers now that we have electronic poll books.

In the days of paper poll books, you had to hear, understand, correctly spell, and remember while you’re flipping pages, the voter’s name to get to the correct page.

Now that you are just typing and the search feature brings up matches, birthday is faster because it is quicker to say, quicker to hear and more accurate to type in (hard to misspell July 27, compared to “McIntosh”).

You type in July 27, five names come up; Greene, O’Neil, Polk, Beshear and Buttegieg - and now when you ask their name it’s trivially easy to pick the right one. If there happen to be two Pete Washingtons with the same birthday in the district, then you have both in front of you when you ask for the address and it’s faster to read and pick than to type and pick, especially if they live on Punxatawney Circle.
