Trump/Republicans 2020: Suppressing Votes & Weaponizing the Government.

[Deleted User 89]

utah has been doing vote-by-mail since 2013...more than 90% vote this way now

next to zero problems, no ID necessary, plenty of drop boxes

it’s really not that hard

utah does the same thing, registers you when you go get a driver’s license

CA does this also, and may have been where it started. It’s basically an “opt-in as default” rather than the opposite. One has to actively opt-out rather than actively opt-in.

My current employer does this for some benefits so that the procrastinator employees don’t lose out

From the people who brought you "But Ma Rights!" and "I don't want the government controlling my life!" Comes....."Giving food or water to people is now a crime!" and the sequel "Please government protect me from the oppression of being offered water while in line to vote."

The republican party is a fucking joke. It's sad.

The new bill was introduced an hour before the committee meeting

oh dang just saw this

goes better here than in the tranny thread.

Is “tranny” not the preferred nomenclature btw?

I wanted to confirm before that thread brings count back.

The Georgia State Constitution states that lawmakers "shall be free from arrest during sessions of the General Assembly" except for treason, felony, or breach of the peace. It is not clear if Cannon is being charged with anything at this time.
