If it makes you feel better unless you live 100% off the grid your info has probably already been exposed dozens of times over

Re: Mail-In Balloting

I just go in...I want to make sure my vote is counted and to be honest I enjoy going out with the rest of my community and participating in the action of voting. I think that’s cool

Re: Mail-In Balloting

I like going in too. I live in a rural area and I bike over to the village it really flusters the parking attendant when I show up with my bike. For some reason it flusters the old people when I am standing there with my bike helmet too. Not sure with decreased open voting precincts if I will have one nearby.

Matty I am sure it is all out there. Like I said irrationalness.

And it has absolutely nothing to do with them knowing 100% this benefits their party? Honesty would be greatly appreciated here.



Note - A large portion of why I switched from Republican to Libertarian was because I got sick and tired of Republicans supporting the chamber of commerce (aka the chamber of big business), etc. It's ok to admit flaws about your party.


Well it benefits their party because their party is not the mainly white party that has voting places on every corner. But that is not anything malicious like the gerrymandering or voter suppression that happens on the right.

I've gotten enough letters from corporate and gov't entities entrusted with my data stating that their data was hacked and my shit was exposed (OPM hack, Playstation hack, Equifax hack, etc.) that I froze my credit years ago. It's worth it for the peace of mind. Firm believer that there isn't any entity out there between the gov't and private industry that takes data security seriously enough to stay a step ahead of hackers.

It's easy to follow the logic here. When you know you can't win the popular vote - you just try to restrict voting as much as possible. 1 ballot box for every Texas county seems fair, until you realize some counties have 1000 people, and the county Houston is in has 4.5 million, 60% of which are minorities.

Next thing they'll be needing is 2 forms of ID and proof of residence to vote.

Yeah just did it today as well. I was surprised I wasnt past the deadline. If I lived in a battleground state like Ohio, Michigan, Iowa, Penn I would def vote in person.

It was easy .. and now I dont have to worry about long waits or covid.

I will definitely miss the voting experience though.

They should move the voting period to a 2 day event and one of those days being a holiday. Absentee voting should cover the rest.

Yeah forget gerrymandering and voter suppression. Forget trying to rig the postal service by making the postmaster general one of your donors that doesn’t know how much a postcard cost to mail. Lets focus on mail in ballots that have literally no history of fraud.

Just mailed in ours today. Because I can. Because it is fair. Because it is not going to entail me standing on line with some Trumper who thinks God is protecting him from Covid.
