Elections '24

Whatever lies you want to tell yourself.


Meanwhile; facts matter. Trump is worth, at the very least, millions.
Equating material wealth to leadership abilities and thus declaring one's worthiness to govern is a non-sequitur fallacy. But you already know that.

So, why the bullish support for an immoral man and a convicted criminal?
 
I couldn't find anything about most of the candidates for local offices like state representative. They mostly have facebook pages or something like that, but I avoid facebook and anything with login walls. I will probably skip those in the primary and wait for more information about the nominees. I have one primary candidate on my list.

Left side panel, 2024 elections drop down, locals.

Even dingbats deserve to be informed.
 
France has about a quarter of the people and about a third of the administrative states. Voting day is also held on a Sunday. When people don't work.

Idiot.
 
Amazing how French voters go to a designated polling location and cast their ballots on a single day.

It’s lunacy to think that making people wait in line for hours on Election Day is in any way preferable to offering early voting and mail-in voting.

So I’m not surprised that’s your position. 👍

I’m ok with early voting and absentee vote by mail within reason. Postmarked a week or two max before the election. A month or more of early voting is ridiculous.

So how about a voting holiday.

France holds their elections on Sunday and the overwhelming vast majority of businesses are required to be closed on Sundays.

That's a vital part of same day voting. Especially with a country as large as the US.

I would support that.

France is obviously it's a lot smaller than the U.S.A, but if it runs its elections anything like the UK model regarding polling stations, there are soooooooooooo many more: when i lived in the UK up till 7 years ago, polling stations were frequently as close as a quarter of a mile apart, easily reached on foot and queues were never a big issue.

when i moved here, to Tennessee, our local polling station was at the foot of our drive, but that got closed and the nearest one is about 7 miles or so away, with more and more shut down since. Without access to a car/motorcycle or bicycle, that makes voting extremely difficult for anyone, working or invalid, and drives queues up to ridiculous lengths making it even harder.
 
That's what it would take to do same day voting nationwide. Unfortunately the politicians you vote for are adamantly opposed to it.
The GOP spent too much time resisting early voting and not enough time learning to take advantage of it. They seem to have finally started getting their act together.

Given how easy it is to vote now, nobody has any excuse for not doing so. An Election Day holiday would have been more impactful 5 years ago, before universal vote by mail and super-early voting as much as 46 days in advance in some states.

Shrug.

You were the one who made the comment about same day voting.
 
I’m rooting for the people of the UK in their fight against the Tories and Reform Party parasites tomorrow. Best wishes!

Good, who has served in Congress since 2021 and chairs the hard-right House Freedom Caucus, cited what he called voting irregularities in Lynchburg and elsewhere. Elections officials have said the count is accurate and they are confident in the results.

Abortion-rights ballot measures may not help Democrats as much as they think

https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/ip3/abcnews.go.com.icoABC|36 minutes ago
Most abortion-rights measures on the ballot this fall are likely to pass, but there's no guarantee that their success will rub off on Democratic candidates.

That may be the most weasel-worded article I’ve read this year. “Abortion on the ballot may not have the impact Democrats hope for, maybe, possibly. You never know. There is no guarantee.”

Informative. 😄
