    I'm always befuddled by the American systems.... In Germany, every citizen is automatically eligible to vote. No additional registration required. You'll get mail with details about the voting location before the voting day, and you have the bring the letter with your state issued ID to the voting place. And most importantly, the longest time I ever waited at a voting place was 2 minutes. The fact that Americans have to wait for around 8 hours is the most glaring proof that the US voting system is massively flawed.

    • @peka2478
      @peka2478 2 месяца назад +561

      The main reason, i think, is that in Germany you need to have a fixed place where you live, and tell the state (Meldebestätigung etc); so the state can automatically and efficiently tell you where you have to vote, where your children go to school etc.
      In the us you can just move to a different state and not tell anybody (land of the free etc) - which means the state doesn't know anything about you until you tell it - by registering, which then gives you the right to vote where you register.

    I am a Georgia Poll worker. You left out another rule they passed that prohibits us from leaving the building. So we get there at 5:30am and the polls close at 7pm. In the primary we only had 81 ballots and we didn't leave until 9:30pm. Now if we could leave the building, say to get off of our feet and rest in our car, the closing would be a lot smoother. I'm 60 and I'm the second yougest person in my precinct. I'm not sure if you are unfamiliar with old people, but we tend to wear down after being on our feet for 16 hours. Oh, and the pay is $200.

There is a real possibility of losing your job and it is not worth the risk. And if the boss is in opposition / politically to the employer who this happened to, they won't permit them to go without the risk of losing their job. The lady in the video must've had a boss that agreed with her political view or else, they wouldn't be so considerate and in fact, might threaten with dismissal.

    I'm a Democrat but registered Republican. For two reasons: 1.) I live in a Republican county, and we always elect Republicans in our government. So the only way I can effectively choose a candidate is to be able to vote in the Republican primary (worked this year to get rid of our Trump endorsed county executive). 2.) I'm sure the Republicans won't purge members of their own party from the voting rolls, so I think I'm pretty safe from that.

      I've already had to drag my aching but down to the polls once & I don't want to do that again especially this busy year. Plus they didn't even have anywhere to sit down like they're supposed to but the election board early voting location immediately asked if I needed somewhere to sit down. Luckily I didn't that day though. Although if it has been a long line I probably would. I think I'll take my stool chair with me this year just in case. Because if I don't it will probably be a long line.

      Apparently Georgia won't start counting mail-in ballots until 7am on election day, but they can do other processing beginning at "8 a.m. on the third Monday before Election Day", because US election law has to be as weird and arcane as possible.

I really don't like that because there is a federal interest in protecting each citizen's right to vote, but the only federal authority to police that is the judicial system, and they can't act unless somebody sues somebody, and it takes forever, by which time it's years too late to give a voter back the vote they were denied during the last election.

    Hand counting perspective…
    I’m a high school teacher that was in charge of SCA and this homecoming voting for 7 years in a school of about 1200 kids. My SCA would hand count ballots for homecoming King and Queen as well as each class representative. EVERY YEAR I would have 4 of my oldest and most trustworthy kids count in teams of two. They would get a different count EVERY YEAR. I would then count them twice and two years I had to do a third count because even I didn’t match myself! I had no biases against any of the kids and as a chemistry teacher, I enjoy numbers and tedious counting. lol.
    The hand counting for a whole nation will be a crap show.

The election places close at 6pm, at 10pm we have a first estimation with accuracy of max +-2% or so and the next morning the election is settled. And we have over 80 Mio people here.

Our brains are not equipped to do a repetitive task like that for that long. Yes, most hand counts are working fine, as most elections do not come down to just a few votes, so being off by a few does not matter. The bigger point is that a hand count is much worse than having a computer keep count as they do not get tired and make mistakes. The only time you want a hand count is doing a recount, and that typically takes weeks and involves additional checks so that mistakes are minimized.

      This, to me, explained why after almost 50 years and periods of owning two properties and moving a few times, and then settling down for 35 years at an address that has never had a different owner as it was a land sale and custom built house and has never been up for sale, she suddenly lost her right to vote. No call for clarification or explanation, just right before an election taking her right to vote away.
      If they periodically refresh the system, it would make more sense for them to reach out about anomalies, not just straight drop the person's right to vote that they have had for almost 50 years. Her two addresses are only 1.5 hours apart. In the same state. The only thing on the ballot this would impact are the county specifics.

In the last five years, she's bought a cottage, sold that cottage, and then bought another cottage that she's working on refurbishing to retire into once my father retires. Her current address, she has lived at for thirty-five years. She bought the land and had the house built. She has never put this house up for sale. It has never been owned by anyone else.
      But she's also an immigrant. She moved here from Germany with her mother when she was four years old. She is an American citizen, but her maiden name is a german name.
      By the way, the cottages, homes, and everything she has owned are all in Michigan. Her new cottage, which got her right to vote taken away, is only 1.5 hours away from where she currently lives. So the only thing on the ballot that would change would be the county-specific voting sections.
      I have had two addresses at a few points in my life. I straight up changed my address to a Lansing address when going to Lansing community college. And then changed it back to my parents' house when I was done. I moved four hours away from my parents to northern lower Michigan. I changed my address up here. I have never been removed from my right to vote. My name and everything is born in America.

      We have an annoying twist on that one in Oregon, the DMV did register non-citizens to vote.
      We have a state law that allows non-citizens to get driver's licenses (helps with ID, insurance, etc), but then we have another law that automatically registers license/ID applicants to vote. System was supposed to filter out non-citizens from registering, but the DMV found a system flaw that was registering some non-citizens automatically, with the tally being about 1300 non-citizens placed on the official voter rolls.
      Investigation showed only 9 of those people had actually voted so obviously it didn't undermine the validity of any elections, but... you can imagine the saliva pouring out of Maria Bartiromo's mouth when she and the rest of her Faux friends hear of it.

      If, somehow, they do pull off such a paper-riddled miracle while also slipping by the IRS’s vengeful gaze undetected? Honestly, hats off to them, they’ve earned it. The time it took certainly wouldn’t have been worth the measly payout, and with each successive payout they’d have to cross their fingers and hope that the Sword of Damocles that is the IRS won’t come down with it, for the rest of their lives.
      Anyone willing to try that is too stupid to actually pull it off. And anyone who’s been able to escape the IRS’s wrath long-term isn’t stupid (though neither are they wise).

      Man, I have a theory, hear me out: John’s criticism of Israel in the war with Gaza in the last season last year had to be punished by WBD by orders of the IDF. That implied by deliberately delaying the show’s main story to be uploaded to RUclips until Thursday and filled with ads, at least in the beginning. Otherwise, how do you explain Bill Maher’s smugness and authoritarian hasbara-splaining against Palestinians and “social justice warriors” and his simping towards Israel because he is an islamophobe. It’s why his clips and “new rules” are posted right after his show ends on Friday and no ads whatsoever. I believe John’s predicting his show is being canceled soon despite being an all-time Emmy winner, which is why he is buying the broadcast rights of past seasons to upload them to his RUclips Channel for archiving purposes; and if Trump wins, the show could be guaranteed to be canceled, making comedy to be only used to punch down, not up, because we’re having an American version of Gustavo Diaz-Ordaz.

    In Utah they removed all the homeless people from registration because their "home" addresses were businesses and street corners. Which is what they're legally required to use when they register and don't have a home address. The only way for them to reregister is in person on voting day with a provisional ballot.

      vote yes on issue one! It could not be more important with all of the underhanded BS that the state legislature has tried to pass. When they found out we had enough signatures to put a constitutional amendment in place to protect abortion rights they tried to pass a law that upped the required percentage and sought to disqualify further ballet initiatives by making it harder to even get to be able to vote on it. Thankfully Ohioans came out in droves to shut it down. They pulled similar tactics with legalizing marijuana both when it went through for medical and later for recreational. Far too many in Ohio politics are there for themselves and do not care about the average Ohioan. If they did they wouldn't try to deny the existence of a 10-year-old rape victim who had to flee the state to get the reproductive care she needed.
