Voter suppression alive and well

[biggunsbob]

Trump’s administration does not give a shit about voter purges . It really is sad that we do not make it easier for everyone to vote in America.
1. Weekend instead of Tuesday, make it easier to register in each state , and make national election more uniform somehow. This is America why does the GOP make it harder to vote ?

It is easy to vote. You do realize, in most states, you can mail in your ballot. I got my "absentee ballot" application in the mail last week.

And it seems pretty easy to vote. In Michigan, I read that link, you can get an absentee ballot well ahead of time. You don't need a reason. I've been using an absentee ballot, Michigan and now Arizona - since I was 19. They just mail them to me.

By the way, this year I got my ballot in August.

It certainly is easier for some to vote in this country then others . Make it easier for everyone to vote and how about we give a person a voting ID card from birth so everyone?s vote can be counted and we can have elections in which no one is disenfranchised. You know it happens and it needs to be stopped. Open up more polling booths instead of closing them. Stop having elections on Tuesday and have them on a weekend or make the day a national holiday so no working has to chose between work and voting , and yes make it easier to be able to vote by mail. Not everyone is as smart as you are when it comes to voting. Why does the republicans want to stop people from voting ? These GOP tactics have to stop and Gerrymandering by both parties has to be stopped at all cost. Why the hell cant both sides agree on a fair vote with each candidate getting the same amount of money to campaign, and a era when everyone?s vote has a chance to be counted.

A national holiday just means people get paid for a day off and won't vote anyway. You really think voting is low because it's on a Tuesday? Hell some states you can vote online.. Voting gets easier and easier and yet people still don't vote.. They'll complain, go out at night and bitch but won't vote. Saturday sure won't change that..

 

[Spartanmack]

blah, blah, blah


I'm beginning to think this whole Russia investigation and this nonsense is just smoke and mirrors to avoid and divert attention from the actual voter fraud that goes on heavily dem districts that everyone just brushes aside and says doesn't exist.

So if you think that why not get both parties together and fix it. Dems blame gop.
GOP blames dems. . Blah, blah, blah,

You just want the Status quo because the gop is better at it then the Democrats. I could care less about the russsian investigation. Nothing is going to happen and the GOP will continue to be hypocrites supporting this president.

You don’t know unless you try it. What is the GOP afraid of if they all think like you do ?
How do we know it will be lower unless we try?

Well, we certainly don't want people who aren't smart when it comes to voting not voting...that would be outrageous!!!

I don't want the status quo and don't sit here and try to tell me you think this is a bipartisan problem. do you read your own posts?

I can almost guarantee people will say "you mean the vote was today I thought it was Tuesday." I don't think a Saturday people want to wait at the polls. Saturday is either rest day, college football day, or party day.. Not stand in a line to vote day.

 

[biggunsbob]

Yeah I don?t, and I really can?t care what you think . But don?t sit here and tell me how much dirt you think the Democrats have on them and leave out the good old republican machine.

Then make Tuesday a fucking holiday so people don?t have to do before, during and after work. For crying out loud we are electing a president of the richest country. It ought to mean something .

 

[Spartanmack]

I didn't do that. At least you admit you think it's only a GOP problem.

America in a fucking nutshell.

I guarantee you I would not be standing in line waiting to vote on the holiday that?s dedicated to fucking.

so now you want infants to vote?

I told you that you can mail in an absentee ballot in almost every state without needing a reason. It can't be any easier than that...can it? That's easier than going somewhere to vote in person.

You want a national holiday to vote...how would that help? A lot of people still work on holidays. A lot of people don't get paid when they don't work.

The way we have it now is fine. The people that aren't voting now are either too lazy or just don't want to vote.

 

[biggunsbob]

I didn't do that. At least you admit you think it's only a GOP problem.

Your such a piece of work . You know that is not true but I do feel and the evidence supports that the Gop uses these tactics a lot more then the democrats but hey why not work togther and solve the problem .. Oh wait because republicans like the status quo in fucking people trying to vote. Yeah gop instead of making it harder to vote work with the left and fix this mess.

voting shouldn't be too easy bob - there should be enough measures in place to ensure the security of our elections. purging voting roles has more to do with that than it does stopping dems from voting.
