They don’t

They can sit in DC to wait out the special session of the Texas legislature

Hopefully one or more dies from COVID.

That should help this along.

 

[iceberg]

That's not what you loons have been saying.

in all fairness, by now they've said everything at one point or another. contradicting themselves they pay no attention to.

Requiring voters to engage a Notary is a restriction on voting.
A signature verified against your registration is just as valid.

Let's just bring the booths to their houses.

Wouldn't want them not voting because they are to lazy to drive to the polling place.

 

[rightwinger]

No, it's not. Picture ID is the only secure way of making sure only eligible people vote.

You have to show picture ID to buy your weed, so requiring the same for voting is not an issue in the slightest.

Except to those, like you, who want to vote fraudulently.

It is easier to fake a picture ID than a live signature
You have yet to show any fraudulent voting taking place

Why should people wait on lines when mail in voting is available?

A record number of people used mail in votes for the first time in 2020. We got record turn out

That is why Republicans want to stop it

Dear rightwinger
In person yes, we all agree.

Where voters disagree is on mail ins.

If you look at other countries, they require in person voting (and ban mailins) to ensure one vote per person. Some require the finger staining paint.

We make question this practice, but there is a reason for it.

Since voting affects other voters and taxpayers, it is only fair we agree to uniform rules for the whole group affected.

If we do NOT agree, let's admit the real reasons.

The real divide is over the USE of govt.

Half the nation, states, and populations of each believe in using laws to LIMIT govt where people govern for themselves as much as possible on local state or individual levels.

Half the people believe in depending on centralized federal govt for collective policies and benefits to be uniform for everyone.

That is why we have these divisions over voting: we don't even AGREE what govt is to be used for. So this affects the voting population which rules we use to represent which voters want which govt functions they need for representing their interests.

If we address that, the other problems will also be resolved.

When people DO NOT "depend on govt for their rights" then the voting won't affect human rights.

It will only record what party or candidates they consent to be under so they can have that for themselves, not affect other people's rights to their own respective representation they consent to.

damn……you do ramble on
Are you this way in person?

 

[Ringo]

In order to vote, a person must confirm that he is who he is.... What an attack on democracy!...
Half of the country votes for Democrats, who preach such nonsense...............

This is truly the bottom line- the “purpose” is to do the leg work for anyone too lazy to vote- too lazy to even request an absentee ballot when they know they qualify (handicapped, elderly and impaired, legally blind). A person who is legally blind, handicapped, and elderly who votes absolutely highlights how it’s not just possible but demonstrates what somebody can do with multiple personal limitations.

My neighbor is in a wheelchair and qualifies for an absentee ballot but says there’s no reason for that because he can make it to the polls! Admirable and inspiring to others. I’d like to qualify here that I am not saying that handicapped people should not be given the help needed to get to the polls, they absolutely should.

Good communities know about helping their neighbors, and long-term communities either step it up or things fall apart. A choice in most cases where individual efforts matter greatly.

The crowd I’m referencing are those who are free of any type of handicaps or physical limitations to get to the polls, they just don’t care about going nor about voting. It kind of infuriates me to think about the tens of millions of people who struggle daily but do the maximum of what they can do, and then we have those who choose daily the easiest option- do nothing to help oneself, expecting everything to come to them, and they don’t make any effort to “give back”. Lazy asses are like a dead weight pulling down many a good family. When you have more than one of them in the immediate family it’s a real tragedy for the kids as they often grow up and emulate one of them.

That is because I accommodate 2 or 3 more views than you recognize as equally protected by laws.

People who only defend 1 view aren't going to use 2 or 3 arguments to include and defend the other approaches to govt, equally as their own as I believe in doing.

If you only focus on defending what you believe, you have 1/3 or 1/5 the responsibility I take on as a Constitutionalist including these views equally.

Yes, it's more work.

Anyone can post onesided attacks.
Trying to defend all sides from each other, without imposing an added bias, triples the work and words, at least.

 

[Auld Phart]

They don’t

They can sit in DC to wait out the special session of the Texas legislature

They can sit in DC to wait out the special session of the Texas legislature

Or their boss in Texas can inform them to join in a zoom conference, to discuss and vote on the bill.

If they refuse, I suggest he sanction them, and start proceedings to remove them from office.


(and the next time Republicans do it, they've done it before, I'll suggest the same thing.)

We have shown thousands of fraudulent ballots. Just because you lie doesn't mean we are stupid enough to believe your bullshit

Yeah, 200% turn out in some voting precincts.

Amazing they all ONLY voted for xiden and NONE of the down ticket candidates.

You have?

Then where is the prosecution?
You got nothing

More lies and misinformation
That is all you have left

 

[Mac-7]

They caught it from scummy repugs they had to sit near in the Texas state house.

There is no evidence of that

 

[San Souci]

Super spreaders trying to kill the Vice Resident and her staff....

Good.I wish 'em success.

 

[Ordinary Guy]

They were fully vaccinated democrats on a righteous mission but still caught the covid because there are still some out there who are not vaccinated.

They are so brave.....

so vaccination is not prevention.....hmm

 

[rightwinger]

The Democrats stunt is still working

There has been no vote on voter suppression in Texas
