In all my years of voting, this has NEVER been an issue. This all started with the fall of the republican party and the rise of DonOld. I voted blue all the way up and down the ballot. This us a fight for our freedom and democracy. Plz don't let anyone buy your vote because it's priceless!
marylarson2830 - Your forgetting the Black Panthers standing in front of voting locations with clubs in their hands. That was back in 2008 though so you may not remember. The biggest stab to democracy I have ever witnessed is not getting to vote in the primaries. They forced Harris upon us. They bypassed democracy and stole our vote!!!
Marc Elias. Thank you for you and your brilliant staff for this most important aspect of our Democracy. I live in Texas as bastion of Republicans. I am in the Austin area in the suburb of Georgetown. I have noticed and I have been purposely looking, that there are almost no politicial signs or flags on automobiles and trucks. During the campaign of 2016 there were Trump signs and flags everywhere but not now. I already voted and checked every step. Voting was easy, clear, and accurate.
This is a call of action, Make a voting plan, GO VOTE, bring friends and family., talk to them about what's important, get active. This doesn't end on election day, that's when the work starts. 🌊🇺🇸💙 Let's make this count.
As a pollworker in Wisconsin since 2007, I deeply appreciate your videos. Too many voters are ill-informed on voting rights and protocols. I am re-trained every couple of years in these issues, so, yes, it can be confusing.
That's right! You have a constitutional right to vote. I have said this before and it merits repeating. If you have been purged from your county/state voters roles , don't take this laying down. On or before election day bring your voter registration card and picture ID and show up at the polls and demand your right to vote. Don't leave until you have voted. Vote for America 🇺🇸.
If you are a Floridian who owes court cost and fees you are not able to vote. How can a state refuse to allow you to vote if it's a constitutional right?
In Washington State (among several others), we have "full" mail-in voting. I.e. every single registered voter receives a "Voter's Pamphlet", and their ballot in the mail. A full 3 weeks before election day. The voting takes place in the comfort of our homes. You don't even have to put a stamp on the return envelope. I hope, after this election and a Harris win, that Democracy Docket can put it's great talent to getting this way of voting to be in EVERY state.
Latest conspiracy theory: "I made my selection, printed the ballot and discovered machine changed my vote." Often human error by not lifting finger a few inches from touch screen before moving to next selection. Some machines require use of a stylus to properly function. Review selections and make corrections before printing. For mail in ballots, review and follow ALL return instructions. Track your vote if state provides the option.
So, y'all use touchscreens and then printers also? What state? I don't mean to insult you personally, but that sounds overly complicated and expensive. We have paper ballots already printed for Early Voting and Election Day. You simply make a mark on your choices. Then insert your ballot into the scanner/counter. The process is very similar to the SCANTRON tests that we had in schools from elementary to college. There is one scanner in use for each polling place. I believe there are backup machines, but I haven't seen a case where one was ever used. Our method seems to be alot easier and way less expensive. I am curious as to how elections are handled in other states. I think there should be more uniformity nationwide. At least, there should be sensible reasons when allowing a state to modify the standard procedures.
If a voter shows up at the poll on Election Day and they are told they are not eligible to vote can they challenge that restriction? Maybe the restrictions might be false identification, double voting, age, residency, disability or a slew of whatever. Can voters challenge the denial with a provisional ballot? The following is the most important question! If the provisional ballot is later denied can you then be charged with voter fraud?
In my state anyone can fill out a Provisional Ballot. Contested Audited elections do check out their validity. Guess the Attorney General and Secretary of State could answer your prosecution question. Heritage website says rare to even FIND an illegal vote. Since tracking in the eighties until 2021 68 have been questioned. Texas A.G. tried to prosecute a felon unsuccessfully. Of course people think if they are registered they can vote.
Marc, I've been a Chief Judge in MD & NC polling precincts for 2 decades. While I appreciate your commentary on this, I wish you handled this presentation from my perspective...
My daughter turned 18 in June, we went to register her to vote here in TX about two weeks ago. I discovered that they said we had to register by the 7th of October in order to vote in this election. How is it legal that they require you to register a full month ahead of time?!! My kid is heartbroken - is there anything we can do? I moved to TX three years ago from Iowa and you can register the same day there. I had no idea this could even happen here. Is there anything we can do to let her voice be heard??
Why in nc are some polling places voters can only pick a republican ballot straight ticket or dem straight ballot instead of full ballot with all persons on all ballots. In my ballot I could pick from both party's but someone else could only choose one or other
Open and closed primary states needs to be uniform. Very confusing and we are a mobile society now. Then there is the Independent issue that is ignored in a closed primary.
You have Rights...But they have to be enforced And stop being attacked I have a right to free speech too that is being attacked as is our 2nd amendment
Please address county to county movers possibly suspended that still have OLD address on DL or Government issued IDs. Hopefully Utility bills can Prove your new address even when registering with the new address. Voting Early is essential for many reasons. Save your Party money knowing you dont have to be contacted any longer because you Already Voted!💜🤠
Thank you for this information but i have a question Is it a crime to urge people to vote ? For instance posting information on social media about other candidate? Can you please clarify ?
sambeveridge2887 - We vote by party in the primaries for who want to run on the party ticket. The DNC took that away from the American people by instilling Harris. The largest offense to democracy I have ever seen.
Conventions determine the nominee. Biden withdrew before the convention and Kamala had to and did get delegate votes. Please tell US you are posting from out of Country.
At a voting center, technically no. I am seeing 18 year olds posting selfies of their first vote. Something to cherish and share with future children and grandchildren in their later years.
No. My state says NO phones in voting area on the door when entering. Quietly told to turn off cell phone if caught. Best to leave your phone behind for many reasons. You can bring in paper notes, however. Agreed a receipt for the voter to take home would be nice. Fairly easy too. Down ballot Judges and school board members names are not in the memory bank sometimes. Would be helpful if Democracy Docket got into some of the intricacies during the upcoming Voters Act with the new session next year. Uniformity IS lacking state by state. We are a mobile society now.
Voted early & there were more voters at this polling place than I've ever seen, I was so happy too see so many people voting and in a Red Fascist State that hopefully God will soon bring sanity to & turn blue. #RebukePutinstRumpMusty

Why is it always the swarmy Republicans, set my new and creative ways to cheat and violate the rights of Americans.
They should show this to all high school seniors so they know their voting rights! Excellent video!
Thank you Sophie and Marc!!! Your info is always so helpful...and reassuring!!!❤

Thanks, Sophie! 💙🇺🇸💙
Wow! This was so informative. I've always worried about making a mistake at the poll, Now I know it's okay to ask for a replacement ballot.
💙💙💙
This was amazingly helpful; thank you Sophie!!
Thanks again for caring about our Democracy! All your hardwork hasn't gone unnoticed. From the bottom of our hearts we appreciate you.

This is a great video for everyone that wants to vote. I thank you for this
⭐ Thanks for what you do! ⭐
Excellent Marc and team keep fighting for Democracy 😊
Such a vital video. TYSM for sharing 💙
Make your plan to vote.
Vote early.
Track your ballot.
Ladies, stick together and vote blue, fight for your rights, freedom, democracy and vote against Project 2025💙
Vote
10/16/24 can't wait.
Thank you Dem Doc. The country thanks you.
Please have a happy please and thank you
I feel fortunate that Kansas makes early voting easy. I voted today. 59yr old white man voted straight Democratic.
💙💙
We have a right to vote
No one has the right to prevent anyone from voting by intimidation and/or harassment.
If you are a Floridian who owes court cost and fees you are not able to vote. How can a state refuse to allow you to vote if it's a constitutional right?
As a convicted felon, trump will be allowed to vote in Florida even though he has not served out his sentence and paid his fines.
@@donhorak9417 how is THAT POSSIBLE???
@@ErikaHein-pm3yd because ronny d will bend the rules for trumpty. You see, De Santis is the head of the clemency board in FL.
I thought I heard that felons who have completed their sentences can vote...it is apparently applicable in all states. Anybody know if it 's true?
Thank DeSantis!! Floridians voted for him!!

Much cheaper too. Counties are NOT able to budget sufficiently and predictably. Even the ones with funds!
Thank you Marc Elias et al!
⚖️🗳️🌊🦋💙🦅🇺🇸
Regarding provisional ballots....make sure to state birthday as month, day, year
Try to avoid Provisional at all. They will be reviewed in hand count and audit when a race is contested in many counties.

Which is WHAT?
Please clarify.
This could seriously be the last election in which these laws apply. Trump will quickly tear it all down if he gets the chance

It is not up to the platform what is considered 'electioneering'?
Agreed. Upcoming Voter Act needs to address these issues AGAIN IF a Blue Senate. 🟦
Great info
I am a registered voter but out of the country, in Lagos Nigeria specifically. How can i cast my vote
Maybe someone at the American Embassy can help?
Some US citizens are able to vote on-line from another country, I am told.
Get an application and request ballot by mail. Bit late but that varies state by state. Must be a US citizen.
@@jeank5410Or can call County Clerks office where they are registered and no longer residing. Or Secretary of State.

Who appointed these Poll watchers Hannibal Lecter
We have the right to vote in the primaries for who we want to run for president. This is all a knife in the heart of democracy.
Actually we don't. The processes for putting forth candidates are completely in the hands of the political parties.

Good to know! Vote blue across the tickets 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Do voters have the right, in all states, to take a picture of their voting ballot, with their cell phones, prior to turning in your ballot?
In most states it is legal, but in some it's not legal to share it online. Best to check your state's laws 💙

YOUR God has nothing to do with the Constitution or voting.
Or Public Schools, for that matter. Many many God's. Ask the Middle East that are under the Muslim Umbrella.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TRUMP 2024. THE MARKETS ARE ALREADY REACTING TO A TRUMP WIN. THATS A GREAT SIGN.
Tell me you have no clue how an economy works without telling me you have no clue how an economy works.

Here in Florida, the supervisor of elections was appointed by desantis. What can be done about corrupt officials?
Where is Biden and the DOJ anyway?
Sure makes me wonder why Voters Act didn't get passed. States are administrators...of current law too!!!
Van I record my own vote?
Check with your state's laws as they can differ
🤣
Already voted it was really simple. Hehehe there are no problems with our voting system hehehe.
