Politics Thread

My gut tells me it's not unreasonable to ask people to go somewhere to drop a piece of paper in a box.

My gut tells me people love to complain about nothing burgers like this to further their political aspirations and/or explain how evil the other side is.

Right, especially people from other states.

Where do you suppose ArizonaXUgrad lives? duh.

I think it's obvious the trump conspiracy theorists running the 4th AZ recount at some taxpayer expense will magically find trump won the election there. This is how totally nuts things are now along with the Cheney ouster. If you don't support the "BIG LIE", you can't get elected in the primaries.

Well, one way or another a "big lie" is going to be exposed.

Unless you're talking about other lies: Fetus is not a human. The coastlines are going to be under water. Cloth masks stop the virus.....

That could be the most ambiguous answer to an honest question that I have ever seen. It is as if you are being purposeful in your avoidance of the real question.

Do you think shrinking the number of drop boxes promotes election integrity or does it promote the suppression of votes? Do you think forcing people to downtown Atlanta, most likely having to pay for parking, traffic, to drop off a ballot during work hours promotes election integrity or the suppression of votes?

I believe the Phog poster on the KU site may have referenced the total in Georgia. I looked and Fulton will shrink from 38 to 8 or a 79% decrease in total boxes of which are now only open during government business hours.

Make your case that is about integrity of elections.

Yeah, I mean it only worked for 200 years and now the whining Libtards think that is borderline waterboarding.

It's entertaining to watch folks try to make a case for how these provisions are somehow not designed to lower voter turnout. Why are they so important, then?

Whether it's racially motivated or not, the case is pretty clear the lowering voter turnout helps Republicans get elected. Every so often one will screw up and admit it. They are in the business of winning elections, so making it harder to vote helps. They have been using the 'voter fraud' Red Herring without any credible evidence of large-scale voter fraud (or even small scale voter fraud) as a justification, but I think it's laughably transparent. If they can get enough of their followers to believe it, it doesn't matter if it's true.

Personally I think this whole thing is an incredibly destructive road to go down.

It's also worth remembering that these are many of the same people who are outraged about the Democrat-led inquiry into Trump's dealings with Russia, but are also very interested in the transparently Republican-led Maricopa County recount, as though that would prove anything anyways.

That 8 is higher than the zero they had before covid, but yet even with 0, people found a way to vote...amazing. Nothing burger that's already been talked about on this board ad nauseam.
