Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Can't you vote by mail too?
Some places have made or are trying to make that not valid. No, it doesn't make sense until you realize that disrupting voting is all they have.
As for Voter ID laws...if it's true that you can show up with an ID that doesn't match yourself and vote...almost seems like the Voter ID law isn't necessary, and is an extra step thrown up to discourage people of certain demographics from voting. I say almost seems in jest, as that's exactly why they (meaning Republicans in control of those areas) passed those laws. There never was voter fraud of any significance.
Yeah thats all voter id is, just to dissuade people.
And any fat idiot can pretend that the ID of someone they don't want to vote doesn't match their face even when it plainly does.
Or just not require an ID since there's no issue needing it. But I guess you missed all that with your non sequitur and angry ranting.
14 states require an excuse, like disability or being out of the country, to vote by mail.
There's also dozens of ways to fuck up the process and by the time someone sees a mistake it's almost definitely too late to fix it and still have the vote count.
