Why? It speaks directly to the issue. In order for the ID to be a valid part of these new Texas voter restrictions, voters need the place to use them. Otherwise, this whole debate is pointless. These Texas voter suppression laws requiring ID and S.S. are worth nothing, if the place to use them is no longer there.
Think about this for a minute. Hundreds of polling places closed down in minority areas, and now Texas Republicans are demanding ID and S.S. numbers, for what? To try and vote in a place that no longer exists? I'm not against ID and S.S., but if there isn't a place to use it, like, wtf is the point? Texas has reduced its voting populations down to centers that cater to Republicans. The ID and S.S. scheme is a facade.
Isn't the entire point of an absentee ballot that you don't have access to a polling place?
You still have to fill it out correctly.
And yet, no counter argument in sight from you. You really are a loser; At least 1,688 polling places closed in southern US, as gutting voting rights act hits hard, report says To be exact, since 2018, 1688 polling places closed. This is how the Right can seriously impact minorities, not to mention the 400 voter suppression tactics. The Right, truly has abandoned their country over party. And the party doesn't even exist any more.Mother Jones. Another lying leftist puke bucket. I know. I used to subscribe and then I grew a brain.
You do understand, that some of the bills now limit absentee ballots right? Why? Can you cite one good reason why it should be limited, barring the fact that Dejoy has also gutted the post office in recent years? It seems to me, days should be added, not reduced, right? Explain to us all why the days should be reduced?Isn't the entire point of an absentee ballot that you don't have access to a polling place?

It's not a good point, because these Republican states have reduced the days for absentee voting. Why? You're telling me, that Republicans closed down 1688 polling places in minority areas, replaced that burden with absentee voting, only to reduce the days for absentee voting? When does the Republican obstruction to voting stop? You folks have a problem with being too obvious over your intentions. It's really pathetic. Hopefully the justice department will get a handle on all this ridiculous cheating by the cult party.Good point. We have had 2 cases of voter fraud starting in 2018. Both were bagged due to improper ID. I think the 2018 fraud should be getting out of prison soon.

We'll, with 1688 polling places closed in minority areas, voters will need lot's of days because the polling places are not there.Anyone requesting an absentee ballot should be, by definition, absent.
That is, physically unable to attend a polling place.
Except for one thing, the word you used is "potential." Republicans have gone to great lengths to limit voting for minorities over a "potential" that hasn't happened.Because of the extremely high potential for fraud in postal ballots, any safeguards to certify authenticity of both the ballot and the voter's qualification to vote are justified.
Bull shit! Not if you live out in the middle of no where; Plans to close all but one polling place in a rural Georgia county reverberate through a battleground state But in a community with little reliable public transportation, "the poor and marginalized people won't be able to vote because, bottom line, they won't be able to get to the polls," said the Rev. Christopher Johnson, the head of the Greater Augusta's Interfaith Coalition -- one of the groups fighting the change.Parties are free to, and often do, provide free transportation to voters who have difficulty reaching designated polling places.

See how weak, uninformed, and unprepared you are to lock horns over the facts? They all succumb to their own failures sooner or later. Had that article been untrue, the Right wing rag sites would have eaten it alive. Problem is, they can't. You know why? Because the Guardian isn't the only site posting it.Why would English papers print a story about American politics that US papers aren't printing?
Could it be they have an agenda? As the English liberal rag, 'The Guardian', did in 2004 when they sent a mass mailing to swing state voters urging them not to vote to re-elect President Bush?
208 IS hundreds.208 is not hundreds. And I agree, that is the reason then they should be rejected with a letter of rejection explaining why. But what it doesn't say is the total number. Is that in the hundreds, in the thousands or the hundreds of thousands. Doesn't sound like there is a problem here. Please get your victim card validated and put it back in your wallet.
I sure can. I can demand that my county have enough polling places to accommodate. I pay fucking taxes, and not everyone is rich enough to live in town. Your argument sucks to high heaven. That's a piss poor excuse not to have polling places. If they can't provide the means, then people in rural areas shouldn't be paying taxes.If you make the conscious choice to live "in the middle of nowhere', you cannot expect others to go out of their way to make your life more convenient.
How about the burden on poll watchers who would be forced to travel to "the middle of nowhere" to guarantee an election free of shenanigans?
Or, is banning poll watchers the goal here? Like the last election.
