They do hand-counts when there's an irregularity.

Hand count consists of 1 delegate from each party tallying every single ballet. If they disagree on a ballet (this is less common if a computer prints the ballet), an official agreed on by both parties determines what the voter intended.

The voting system is quite good by international standards, the fix in American "democracy" comes in way before all of this.

It means they need to run more, longer trains.

Sold out trains still sell standing tickets, which let you pick seats if available. I've seen old ladies choose to stand so they can all be in a group.

Also sometimes they're not totally sold out, but you'll be choosing between a standing ticket and an expensive first-class ticket or hard seat and soft-sleeper for a slow train.

Did the country surrounded by NATO members on all sides consider allying with NATO's enemy?

You're not going to do anything about people not being able to bring themselves to vote for genocide, but you might be able to get the DNC not to tell its own base to fuck off.

They were recruited to round up brown people, whom they regard as criminal. That's true of the new group and was true of ice and cbp agents recruited under previous administrations.

Reality: Trains in China go pretty much everywhere and are often sold out days in advance.

Sorry, I thought we were talking about the motorbikes/motor scooters, the thing in OP is an electric bike, but priced 5x more than high-end electric scooters.

The machine produces a physical paper record you can read, it doesn't matter what software it's running if you can verify your vote is accurate.

I’ve almost never seen irl stores charge more for paying by card

It's a violation of visa/mastercard's TOS, but also smaller stores get much higher transaction fees so they have further incentive to do so.

Dont those block your mirrors? Are you worried you might not be able to bail? I have a 2 piece I got for 6 bucks, but its hot and inconvenient enough I rarely use the pants unless theres a literal typhoon.
