    I unfortunately live in NC. I solely care for my severely handicapped daughter, and have to take her with me when I vote. If she ever suffered a seizure or any medical complication because of tactics to make the process difficult, I would sue. This is my RIGHT, and I should be able to exercise it without duress.

This was eventually struck down by the courts after waves of death of homeless being literally cooked to death, but it's still disgusting that it went that far: NEVER let ANY republican claim that they don't support GENOCIDE.

    I agree. When I lived in a city the wait to cast my (democratic) vote was always minimum of an hour. When I relocated to a (republican) county in the same state it was less than ten minutes. The majority of registered voters in my state are democrats and live in the counties which had the longer voting lines. These people who do their best to suppress voter rights are beyond disgusting.

      @silverghostcat1924 they do think about that. It is incredibly unlikely to be a republican voter who passes out in that situation for several reasons.
      First, most people aren't republican. They are the minority. But also, there normally aren't these long lines to vote in places where republican voters are going to be voting. It happens in big cities and areas with more people of color. Thus more Democrat voters. In the suburbs and real areas they make sure there are far more polling places per capita for this exact reason.

    I'm a disabled senior who vote by mail. Before the voter suppression laws were passed here in Georgia, I could request a vote by mail application during the primary. Being disabled, by requesting the ballot during the primary, I would then be sent a mail in or vote by mail ballot for each and each round of voting without having to fill out the application for each vote during the election cycle, primary, election and if a run off was necessary, now they've made it very difficult to vote by mail during the complete election cycle in Georgia. Oh, during the 2020 election, they were going to cancel my right to vote because I moved, same apartment complex, just a different apartment. I had even filed my change of address with them and received my new voter card from them. They sent me the letter informing me that I had a limited time to correct my address or I wouldn't be allowed to vote. The irony is that I had my corrected voter card from the state, and I hadn't missed voting in every election since I moved to GA in 1997. They even tried to claim I hadn't voted for several elections as a means for dropping my voting right.

    Here in Australia we vote on a Saturday, and every public school plus some other community halls is a polling place from 8am-6pm. For those who work that day or cannot physically attend there are mail in ballots available up to two months prior, and also we have early polling places open for the week beforehand for anyone who cannot make it on the day. Also if you are out of your area on the day you can go to any polling place and lodge an absentee vote if necessary. We have compulsory voting so this makes it easy for everybody. The longest I have ever had to wait is about 1 minute !!

      What a shame that every State doesn't follow suit. I often think that, for every Federal election, there should be Federal voting laws. Laws like the one you described. Laws that every American voter believes is fair.
      If States want to introduce voter suppression laws for State elections, then I still find it all disgraceful if there is any voter suppression. Yet, I 4understand that, due to the MAGA Party's incessant whining about the Federal government getting too involved in State affairs.
      However, I don't understand why it's so difficult for anyone to understand how much more fair and easier it would make Federal voting by having exactly the same voting laws in every State. Surely this would also help stop all of the excuses that red States keep coming up with to blame cheating, no?
      Let's face it, MAGA Republicans, like DeSantis, are happy to take Federal financial aid after a disaster and let the Federal government pay for some other Federal interests.

      It's so silly. I live in another country, everyone gets an election notice before the election telling you how you appear in the electoral roll, that gives us a chance to update details where necessary. Then, before the election we all get our voting papers which can be posted back or we can wait till election day and vote in person (doesn't matter if you lose the papers, you can still vote with id). We all know when the letter is due so fraud is difficult.
      This is why it's a silly move by Republicans, our government swaps from left to right still. If you try to deny someone their lawful right to vote you make it likely that they will vote against you for that very reason.

    Funny thing is until about a decade ago we had a law which would prevent Southern states from doing this type of thing. You may have heard of it, it was called the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and while the law still technically exists the Supreme Court removed the part of it (called pre-clearance) that served that function.

    A birthdate on the outside of the ballot lets them focus on eliminating votes within the age range less likely to vote for them. The birthdate is all the information they need. It's telling that a supposedly solid red state like Georgia feels the need to do this. Maybe they know if everyone votes, they're not so red anymore.

    • @lyndellrobinson3611
      @lyndellrobinson3611 Год назад +4

      Exactly this! They definitely know. That's why they are focused on disenfranchising the voters in Metro Atlanta, Savannah, Columbus, and a few other regions with large African-American and college student populations. The broad GA map political map looks like there are only pockets of blue in a sea of red. However, those blue pockets are in heavily populated areas and make the outcome of the state more bluish-purple than red, even with all of the suppression tactics.

    I was an election poll worker for 16 years, and I'm a liberal Democrat. In our precinct we had very strict rules that we followed to a "t". If we lost track of a single ballot out of 1500, we had to spend as long as it took to find what happened to it; sometimes days of sorting and recounting. We had one voting location in a low income neighborhood. Without any attempt to slow down voting or restrict anyone in any way, it took much longer for people to vote in that location. So, it's not just interference that slows things down.
