Not to you but you're ignorant so you wouldn't understand anyway.

Other than, like you said, to appease the people who “think” something fishy is going on.

Then all elections should revert back to pre-Covid rules across the board. Because elections have certainly changed since 2018.

One thing that needs to be illegal when it comes to elections is vote curing. Looks like that is going on in Boebert's district right now. I can't stand her and vote curing could cause her to lose but it is a practice that could undermine the will of the voters. Patty Murray is a Senator because of vote curing. Years ago she was trailing in the vote count and vote curing turned the election for her. They got a list of all the voters with issues and went to each house - and stated they were doing a post election survey. They asked the voters who they had voted for - if they voted for her opponent they thanked them for the info and left, if they voted for Murray they got the voter to the polling station to fix their vote. This occurred weeks after the election. Apparently there were a lot more thank you for your time than there were come with me responses. (So in reality she got fewer votes but won because of this practice).

Generally I think we want as many people who want to vote, to get their vote counted. If there was minor defect that prevented a persons ballot from being counted ... we should want that persons vote counted.

But I could see vote curing being unfair ... if one campaign has means to go door to door and the other doesnt.

Flip side ... Civil Rights Act of 1964 says no vote can be discarded for reasons not material to their voter eligibility.

Republicans in PA and their State conservative Court and then the conservative SCOTUS .. are not counting mail in ballots that dont have hand written dates on the outside of envelopes. Writing a date on an envelope is not part of voter eligibility.

As long as conservatives create more administrative road blocks to discourage people from voting .. then I hope Dems have a strong vote curing game.

-------------

Republicans want and create road blocks to voting.

Maricopa County AZ is big blue county in a red state ... since 2012 and the Shelby decision, AZ has closed 171 voting stations in Maricopa County.

Handwritten dates by the people actually voting? That doesn't even make sense. You could just write any date you wanted on there even if you did vote late.

Yeah because 2016-2020 decisions made about the deficit and the economy have zero to do with now. As soon as Trump left office the economy doesn’t reset. I feel like im talking to a child.

Vote curing is “supposed “ to be if a mail in is missing a signature or something the voter has an opportunity to verify his or her identity, come in, and fix their ballot after being verified. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Whatever happened with Patty Murray is certainly not the norm.

Do you have a link about this curing scandal and patty murray?

Republican Reps. James Comer and Jim Jordan alleged at a press conference Thursday that President Biden was actively involved in overseas business dealings alongside his son Hunter.

Comer, citing whistleblowers, asserted that the Biden family "flourished and became millionaires by simply offering access to the family."

"Was Joe Biden directly involved with Hunter Biden's business deals and is he compromised? That's our investigation," Comer said.

Conservatives say they dont care what Trump did or didnt do before he was President.
Suddenly they care.

Conservatives didnt care that the Trump family made millions maybe a billion doing foreign family business while Trump was president and his kids were cabinet members.
Suddenly they care if Bidens son made money doing foreign business .. while his dad held no position with the US govt.

lol

what ever conservatives, youre a joke
