That article is very poorly written. Bad editing with tons of unnecessary commas and calling somewhere around 1400 cases of confirmed voter fraud in millions "less than 1%" is a hilariously huge disparity to the truth of 0.01% or even less. 1% of only 1 million would still be 10,000 which is a order of magnitude off on both numbers.
The title of this is also confusing to read when the top line in the article lays it out very plainly without the double negatives:
Rick Scott stated on January 26, 2023 in a page about elections in his Rescue America plan: Same-day voter registration "does not allow election officials to verify the validity and accuracy of voter information." | [

I live in CA, and near where I live a road got washed out. Not even a main road or even a convenient side road. There are signs up that say the road is out and to go around. People still try to go around the sides of the signs and drive down the road only to turn around once they reach the flooded portion. I don't think anyone has gotten stuck trying to cross it but it amazes me how many people I see ignore those signs. | [] |

I mean...I do it sometimes in my jeep or truck because it often is no big deal and a little fun. 2 weeks ago our creekbed in town was the highest I have ever seen it and I did indeed turn around because I didnt have time to risk getting stuck right before work 😂
lol no one here knows how to have fun. Im not driving straight into rivers ot situations I know my vehicles cant handle. Im also not doing it on main roads, its side roads going through creek beds etc. that dont see regulat use. Some of us actually take out trucks and jeeps out and build them to have fun, if I have an excuse for a little fun on the day to day without having to drive out to the trails once in awhile it is fun! | [

Sure “often” it’s no big deal, until the one time you do get stuck and become a drain on city/county resources to get you out because you cbf to go a different way. | [

That wouldnt happen. I help in vehicle recovery offroad and have close friends that have big rigs for it. Worst case scenario in any situation I have put myself in is a phone call and having to get soaking wet hooking up recovery gear. | [

Don't need any more context than you've already given. You think you'll be able to get through and that you'll be able to handle the situation if you don't make it through. This is because you're egotistical. You can't envision a scenario where you would need to be rescued by first responder services therefore you see no issue with ignoring the signs. Maybe consider for a moment that you're not infallible and don't take unnecessary risks that can become a drain on valuable resources. | [

Hikers also have signs that tell them not to go on certain trails if there is an issue. Hikers who ignore those signs because they think they know better are the same as you thinking you'll always be alright ignoring road signs. As for rock climbing, I'm not familiar enough to know if there are designated areas for rock climbing but if there aren't then I'm of the mind that the rock climber assumes the risk and resources shouldn't be devoted to rescue when the risks are known. Personally don't care if you want to rock climb but I don't think resources should be dedicated to people who chose to engage in something so risky. But that's also a key difference. Rock climbers know what they are doing is dangerous and generally take safety precautions. You deciding you know better than the road sign is not the same thing. But go on, keep thinking you know better. I hope it never bites you in the ass but if it does I hope you'll accept your fate and not expect any effort to be made to help you. | [

True story. I used to work road construction. On one job, we were eliminating a big loop of road by blasting a new straight route through a hillside. At each end of the proposed new route, we had multiple large barriers erected, festooned with signs that said things like “Do not enter” and “blast zone.” The “road” through the blast zone could barely be called a road; it was a very rough, narrow, dirt track that we were barely beginning to form into something that could be driven through.
And mind you, the track through the blast zone had NEVER been part of the road. The only reason the signs were necessary was because we had trucks and equipment going in and out and so it was somewhat recognizable as a road of sorts. Even so, it was almost entirely blocked by the barriers.
Nevertheless, one day a driver at the head of a line of cars drove past the flagger and instead of proceeding along what was clearly actual road, drove around the barriers, utterly ignoring the several workers frantically waving, shouting, and gesticulating in an effort to stop them.
And every single car in the line followed.
It was amazing. We finally managed to stem the tide after about 8 or 10 cars but they were like a determined flock of sheep. Amazingly they made it to the other side but I can’t imagine what their undercarriages looked like.
People are worse than sheep. | [

I fill like we could raise our society's IQ just by having a road off a cliff with signs saying things like"STOP!", "CLIFF AHEAD!", "TURN BACK!" every teen feet for several miles... leading to a gate you have to get out and open then drive through to get to the cliff.

">\n\nTrue story. I used to work road construction. On one job, we were eliminating a big loop of road by blasting a new straight route through a hillside. At each end of the proposed new route, we had multiple large barriers erected, festooned with signs that said things like “Do not enter” and “blast zone.” The “road” through the blast zone could barely be called a road; it was a very rough, narrow, dirt track that we were barely beginning to form into something that could be driven through. \nAnd mind you, the track through the blast zone had NEVER been part of the road. The only reason the signs were necessary was because we had trucks and equipment going in and out and so it was somewhat recognizable as a road of sorts. Even so, it was almost entirely blocked by the barriers. \nNevertheless, one day a driver at the head of a line of cars drove past the flagger and instead of proceeding along what was clearly actual road, drove around the barriers, utterly ignoring the several workers frantically waving, shouting, and gesticulating in an effort to stop them. \nAnd every single car in the line followed. \nIt was amazing.

You know what's even more entertaining? These people saw the signs that said "road closed" and didn't bother to slow the fuck down. They just kept on moving like it was normal, never for a moment considering there might be a danger to them on the road.
Which of course begs the question of how many people at least were smart enough to slow down and did not end up in the sinkhole. | [

Really? The cops are baffled how stupid people are?
Was watching a neighbor fix a pipe, had to tear up some concrete where cars drive thru. He put out some boxes to keep people from driving thru it. Not 5 minutes the box was partly flattened, could see where the tire went thru the concrete. A Mercedes with all the sensors and back up cameras, still idiots behind the wheel. | [

">\n\nTrue story. I used to work road construction. On one job, we were eliminating a big loop of road by blasting a new straight route through a hillside. At each end of the proposed new route, we had multiple large barriers erected, festooned with signs that said things like “Do not enter” and “blast zone.” The “road” through the blast zone could barely be called a road; it was a very rough, narrow, dirt track that we were barely beginning to form into something that could be driven through. \nAnd mind you, the track through the blast zone had NEVER been part of the road. The only reason the signs were necessary was because we had trucks and equipment going in and out and so it was somewhat recognizable as a road of sorts. Even so, it was almost entirely blocked by the barriers. \nNevertheless, one day a driver at the head of a line of cars drove past the flagger and instead of proceeding along what was clearly actual road, drove around the barriers, utterly ignoring the several workers frantically waving, shouting, and gesticulating in an effort to stop them. \nAnd every single car in the line followed. \nIt was amazing.

">\n\nTrue story. I used to work road construction. On one job, we were eliminating a big loop of road by blasting a new straight route through a hillside. At each end of the proposed new route, we had multiple large barriers erected, festooned with signs that said things like “Do not enter” and “blast zone.” The “road” through the blast zone could barely be called a road; it was a very rough, narrow, dirt track that we were barely beginning to form into something that could be driven through. \nAnd mind you, the track through the blast zone had NEVER been part of the road. The only reason the signs were necessary was because we had trucks and equipment going in and out and so it was somewhat recognizable as a road of sorts. Even so, it was almost entirely blocked by the barriers. \nNevertheless, one day a driver at the head of a line of cars drove past the flagger and instead of proceeding along what was clearly actual road, drove around the barriers, utterly ignoring the several workers frantically waving, shouting, and gesticulating in an effort to stop them. \nAnd every single car in the line followed. \nIt was amazing.

Im not driving straight into rivers ot situations I know my vehicles cant handle. Im also not doing it on main roads, its side roads going through creek beds etc. that dont see regulat use.

">\n\nTrue story. I used to work road construction. On one job, we were eliminating a big loop of road by blasting a new straight route through a hillside. At each end of the proposed new route, we had multiple large barriers erected, festooned with signs that said things like “Do not enter” and “blast zone.” The “road” through the blast zone could barely be called a road; it was a very rough, narrow, dirt track that we were barely beginning to form into something that could be driven through. \nAnd mind you, the track through the blast zone had NEVER been part of the road. The only reason the signs were necessary was because we had trucks and equipment going in and out and so it was somewhat recognizable as a road of sorts. Even so, it was almost entirely blocked by the barriers. \nNevertheless, one day a driver at the head of a line of cars drove past the flagger and instead of proceeding along what was clearly actual road, drove around the barriers, utterly ignoring the several workers frantically waving, shouting, and gesticulating in an effort to stop them. \nAnd every single car in the line followed. \nIt was amazing.

Dude it’s fuckin wild out there on the roads these days. I see the craziest shit every single day. Lack of enforcement / traffic during the dark days + Covid brain scramble = Mad Max. | [
"I live in CA, and near where I live a road got washed out. Not even a main road or even a convenient side road. There are signs up that say the road is out and to go around. People still try to go around the sides of the signs and drive down the road only to turn around once they reach the flooded portion. I don't think anyone has gotten stuck trying to cross it but it amazes me how many people I see ignore those signs.",
">\n\nI mean...I do it sometimes in my jeep or truck because it often is no big deal and a little fun. 2 weeks ago our creekbed in town was the highest I have ever seen it and I did indeed turn around because I didnt have time to risk getting stuck right before work 😂\nlol no one here knows how to have fun. Im not driving straight into rivers ot situations I know my vehicles cant handle. Im also not doing it on main roads, its side roads going through creek beds etc. that dont see regulat use. Some of us actually take out trucks and jeeps out and build them to have fun, if I have an excuse for a little fun on the day to day without having to drive out to the trails once in awhile it is fun!",
">\n\nSure “often” it’s no big deal, until the one time you do get stuck and become a drain on city/county resources to get you out because you cbf to go a different way.",
">\n\nThat wouldnt happen. I help in vehicle recovery offroad and have close friends that have big rigs for it. Worst case scenario in any situation I have put myself in is a phone call and having to get soaking wet hooking up recovery gear.",
">\n\n\"That wouldn't happen\" until it does. Stop being an egotistical jackass.",
">\n\nYou don't even know where I am or what water I am driving through. I'm not an idiot trying to drive through a whole ass river. Pretty judgmental for someone with no context.",
">\n\nDon't need any more context than you've already given. You think you'll be able to get through and that you'll be able to handle the situation if you don't make it through. This is because you're egotistical. You can't envision a scenario where you would need to be rescued by first responder services therefore you see no issue with ignoring the signs. Maybe consider for a moment that you're not infallible and don't take unnecessary risks that can become a drain on valuable resources.",
">\n\nYou could say this about almost any outdoor hobby, should people not be allowed to hike, or rock climb? Me driving through 2ft of water is not putting anyone in danger lol",
">\n\nHikers also have signs that tell them not to go on certain trails if there is an issue. Hikers who ignore those signs because they think they know better are the same as you thinking you'll always be alright ignoring road signs. As for rock climbing, I'm not familiar enough to know if there are designated areas for rock climbing but if there aren't then I'm of the mind that the rock climber assumes the risk and resources shouldn't be devoted to rescue when the risks are known. Personally don't care if you want to rock climb but I don't think resources should be dedicated to people who chose to engage in something so risky. But that's also a key difference. Rock climbers know what they are doing is dangerous and generally take safety precautions. You deciding you know better than the road sign is not the same thing. But go on, keep thinking you know better. I hope it never bites you in the ass but if it does I hope you'll accept your fate and not expect any effort to be made to help you.",
">\n\nTrue story. I used to work road construction. On one job, we were eliminating a big loop of road by blasting a new straight route through a hillside. At each end of the proposed new route, we had multiple large barriers erected, festooned with signs that said things like “Do not enter” and “blast zone.” The “road” through the blast zone could barely be called a road; it was a very rough, narrow, dirt track that we were barely beginning to form into something that could be driven through. \nAnd mind you, the track through the blast zone had NEVER been part of the road. The only reason the signs were necessary was because we had trucks and equipment going in and out and so it was somewhat recognizable as a road of sorts. Even so, it was almost entirely blocked by the barriers. \nNevertheless, one day a driver at the head of a line of cars drove past the flagger and instead of proceeding along what was clearly actual road, drove around the barriers, utterly ignoring the several workers frantically waving, shouting, and gesticulating in an effort to stop them. \nAnd every single car in the line followed. \nIt was amazing. We finally managed to stem the tide after about 8 or 10 cars but they were like a determined flock of sheep. Amazingly they made it to the other side but I can’t imagine what their undercarriages looked like. \nPeople are worse than sheep.",
">\n\nThe CHP deals with the public every day. How can they be baffled? \nThat picture doesn’t surprise me at all.",
">\n\nMaybe if they put up a s sign that says, “SINK HOLE,” instead of “Road Closed,” there would only be two cars that fell in.",
">\n\nWhy SINK HOLE when CAR HOLE is available?",
">\n\nr/dragonsfuckingcars is why",
">\n\nWhat's baffling about the story is the CHP still being baffled by driver stupidity after years of witnessing it on the job.",
">\n\nThey've been dumbfounded, mostly. Confused prior to that. They just recently moved onto baffled",
">\n\nI sure don't want to be around if we make it to 'flummoxed'.",
">\n\nMy area passed a law making drivers responsible for their rescue costs if they drive around a barricade and get stuck. It's called the Stupid Motorist Law. And every year during monsoon rain people have to be rescued, but now they get the bill.",
">\n\nI fill like we could raise our society's IQ just by having a road off a cliff with signs saying things like\"STOP!\", \"CLIFF AHEAD!\", \"TURN BACK!\" every teen feet for several miles... leading to a gate you have to get out and open then drive through to get to the cliff.\nThen we just wait.",
">\n\nIt's obvious that the entire planet would benefit from bringing a little bit of this natural selection back.",
