I did not know that.
How do you?
Can you provide the forum some authoritative sourcing or citation from credible sources that are in a position to know?
Please provide the forum as sort of a public service.....as you seem to be more knowledgeable than other.
More seriously, poster westwall: If you cannot offer this venue some serious contribution that backs up your assertion then my avatar will call your avatar irresponsible.
And corrosive to our defining American tradition of an open and free vote.
To denigrate it, to dismiss it, to diminish it, to threaten it.....in un-American. To say it was a fraudulent election WITHOUT demonstrating the respect, integrity, and sense of responsibility to PROVE it......is un-American, is anti-American. So talk to your avatar and inform him that the stakes in America are too high for unserious, unthoughtful, reckless indictments agains our free vote.

You know, Old Rocks, I had seen that before. But was too unmotivated to go google it up for this thread. So thank you. And yes, MAGA-world lives on the largesse and goodwill of the the non-MAGA world. And yet they are peevishly ungrateful. They whine about it. They try to deny it. It is sad.

CS....I wonder about your locale. Sounds small-townish, small-city? Rural?
Here's the gig, and poster Faun does a better job of explaining than me, but......but if you have a highly populated precinct, and many urban precincts are with their density of housing. And oft-times that density is manifested in minority areas.
In short, you have a LOT of minority members who live in a district so voting lines are long historically. Anybody who has paid attention to voting dynamics has seen that on the telly. And read about it.
And then.......and then......you reduce the polling places again. Which makes the lines longer and longer.
So long lines in districts where minorities live and where many have jobs that will not allow them to take a few hours off in the morning to vote.....or leave work earlier to vote.
And then......you reduce or eliminate any drop-boxes where those folks who can't get off work could have dropped their secure ballot.
The actions done in 2021 by numerous Republican state legislatures were done to reduce voter access. To narrow and limit the vote. And that is what those bills will do.
Ditto.
Ditto.
I live near a small city. Population is around 95% white.
Y'all blow this WAY out of proportion making this somehow racist. It isn't. An inconvenience? Maybe. Racist and oppressive? No.
