After mocking Vets, mocking disabled journalists, his absolute failure as a president, and quite honestly, his complete failure at even being a decent human has soured him to many, including me.

All he does is make excuses, he's a chronic loser and a little bitch baby who can't stop crying about some imaginary kabal trying to keep him from being president.

I have a secret, I'M PART OF THE KABAL BOOGITY BOGGITY IMMA STEAL YO DEMOCRACY.

Mark_R_1@reddit

You do have the option to register as No Party, or an unlisted party. I listed No Party when I first registered to vote. When I worked an election some time back, a voter changed their affiliation to "Christian Monarchy". You change your affiliation without giving a reason.

The Democrats and some independent parties will allow me to vote in their primaries if I ask to. I usually don't.

1) every American should get a National ID card the day they turn 18. Make it simple and free.

2) every American is automatically registered to vote

3) that card is required to vote

I wouldn’t be against things like Voter ID if it wasn’t intentionally designed to disenfranchise people. You’d think we could find compromise on this.

MistyMtn421@reddit

There was a post in either the North Carolina or the Asheville sub, this poor woman was trying to vote, at the school she teaches at. She lost her ID, she had no printer, she had something to show them I don't remember what I'm sorry it's searchable if you want, and they still wouldn't let her vote. She's waiting for it to show up in the mail and it won't be here in time I guess.

To add insult to injury, North Carolina has an exception for this. There was a form she had to fill out and some things she had to do, and they told her that didn't exist and they wouldn't let her vote. Luckily she had the $25 to get a new ID, but basically that's a poll tax. Imagine all these folks who are dealing with the flooding issues who don't have an extra $25 to get a new ID.

I agree we have to figure something out. But we have to make it affordable or free, and easily accessible somehow while preventing identity fraud. I am so open to ideas and suggestions because that is truly a conundrum

[-]

lavapig_love@reddit

That is an illegal poll tax and once that person votes, they can and should record and report the entire encounter to the state election board and the ACLU. That woman isn't the only one they turned away for bullshit reasons, I'm sure.

The solution of giving everyone an ID is an excellent solution. She is at the core of the issue here. She lost her ID. There can't just be a simple reissue of ID every time someone loses one. No consequence would mean there is no real significance to the card. Keep it safe like your SSN.

[-]

MistyMtn421@reddit

Under normal circumstances, I agree. But when a historical flood comes through your town at 4:00 a.m., things are going to happen and there are extenuating circumstances. There is also a form to fill out for that, and they refuse to offer or acknowledge it existed.

second_GenX@reddit

SS Card and birth certificates are mandatory. Both applied for by the hospital when a child is born. If you don't have your kid in the hospital (I had two at home) you have to apply by the time they are 5. It may be even younger now. You can forego it. Until they go to school. If you homeschool, and you don't register your kids birth by then, you're a piece of gif Your kid will be unable to do just about anything, and good luck having them be a part of society. I thought it would be all good and didn't register my middle child til they were 8. They almost didn't get into the military or college because the birth certificate will forever note that it was a late registration, as will the SSN. You will also have to find enough people and documentation from during the birth to prove that you had the kid at home. Like, I had to dig up old notes from the midwife documenting the labor and delivery. Not everyone has these things.

iabicouple4bbc@reddit

How do you figure that it disenfranchises anyone ? It simple go get an ID how hard is that? I mean if you are too stupid to figure out where to get said ID than probably too stupid to be voting anyway

[-]

DannyBones00@reddit

Ah, spoken like a child of privilege.

If you’re poor, it’s hard.

Say you get evicted and lose your paperwork. You lose everything.

You oftentimes can’t get a new drivers license without a birth certificate. You oftentimes can’t get that without a Social Security card. Or vice versa.

All of those cost money to get. They take time to get. They also take time and money to physically drive to whatever office handles them. It’s all one big loop that’s way harder than it needs to be.

Oh, and those offices are usually open M-F. So you’ve also got to miss work to do it.

That happened to me. Not exactly that, but similar. I’m a straight white dude from a good family, with a college degree. Never been in trouble in my life. Made a few bad decisions.

It took me years to get that stuff straightened out.

Now imagine you’re a minority and have all those same problems. Except your backwards red state closed all the DMV’s or whatever within a 5 hour drive of you. That’s what states like Texas do.

Get evicted a few months before Election Day and lose your paperwork? Birth certificates, social security card, etc? Good luck getting an ID.

Then factor in that states like Texas deliberately close DMV’s in minority neighborhoods. So now, even if you have the time and money to figure it out, it’s a 6 hour drive to do it.

It may only be a few percentage points of people. But it’s a few percentage points of the most vulnerable people, who generally vote overwhelmingly Democrat.

And that’s all to solve a problem WHICH DOESN’T EXIST. Illegals do not vote. It’s like a few dozen people MAX in the entire country in any given election. So you disenfranchise thousands of people to stop a few dozen from voting.

If Republicans are so worried about it, they should meet Democrats halfway and do a national ID card that’s free, with automatic voter registration. Otherwise we will just continue to block voter ID most places.

[-]

Complex-Judge2859@reddit

Interesting, thanks for the perspective.

To push back a little, how does one function in society without an ID?

You can’t buy alcohol, cigarettes, certain chemicals at Home Depot, ammo, buy a phone plan, I mean how do you function with a phone…

I understand what your saying but it seems to be making excuses for a very small group of people.

I think last I checked 85 % of the population supports voter ID.

[-]

SpaceballsTheCritic@reddit

Stop, just stop. Our 19th security voting system is perfect.

There have literally been ZERO advancements in technology, economic, or social thinking that should be reconsidered.

What next? Voting districts ONLY based on geography that forces people to work together, vote together, for a common interest?

Look, I have 1000 acres in rural America. What about it's rights?

If our founding fathers wanted America to change they wouldn't have established a clear method for updating our core constitution or thought woke thoughts that the Constitution should be periodically revised to keep pace with the progress of society and human thought.

Serious??

Because OF COURSE NOT FFS.

If they are not a citizen, which can be easily shown, then they do not get auto registered.

And it is easy to know unless they have fully fraudulent paper saying John Smith on 10th street in Peoria.

And in that case, it's not on the clerk to figure that out, if they have all the "papers" it's on the feds to do it.

They would be able to use the exact same paperwork (in "real ID" states) to get registered to vote anyway if they were doing identity theft.

It's not an issue. There no suite of people using fake identities as "illegal aliens" to vote illegally.

So it wouldn't be a problem at the dmv.

The problem is id theft if it occurred, not that undocumented citizens can get licenses. They don't want to be found out, they aren't risking that in order to vote every few years.

So.. NO. Known undocumented people would not be registered if states allow getting a dl in that condition.

But if they don't, but the person has stolen or forged papers, then yeah, they'll end up registered.

Who Told you that and explained it like that to you?

The states giving licenses to non citizens is not an indication that they are confusing them for citizens.

It would be easy to simply denote which DL s are citizens and which are not.

And if they are using fake ssn to get a DL, then that's a whole different story.

I addition, you think a bunch of "illegals" with fake identities are lining up to vote everywhere? No. They aren't.

Signing people up when they get a DL is not synonymous with signing up fraudulent identify thieves.

In fact, it might catch a few.

So I was saying there's a lot of weird mismatches in voting or registration and mentioning that to auto registering people to vote when they get a driver's license.

Thank you! I got a postcard in the mail. And it said “who you vote for is not public information, but whether or not you vote is, …”

[-]

Mark_R_1@reddit

Whether or not you voted is a necessary evil. If you vote, and somebody else votes in your name, the system will flag it.

This is not entirely true. There are several states that allow for illegal aliens to vote in local and state elections and have been given federal ballots. Especially when they are all on a single ballot.

That's an unfortunate effect of anonymous voting. If an alien getsa full ballot, intended to have them vote for local and state, if he fills out the federal there is no way to discerne that.

This is one. I do believe that the numbers of instances that they found where this occurred are probably on the low side. That's the problem with trying to find this is it's literally trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Is it common, very unlikely, but it doesn't mean it does not exist. And as more municipalities push for allowing non-citizens to vote in local elections, this is only going to become a bigger issue.

Again, I don't know the best mechanisms to do it all, but that's what I feel the underlying and overarching problems are.

We are a society. We are so extremely complicated. But we don't have to stop trying or fighting for better results and things for ourselves and each other.

I'm in WA. Last year my vote got rejected. I mailed it in and they said it didn't arrive on time. The post office was overwhelmed.

Year after that my Wife's vote got rejected, saying her signature didn't match.

Both times by the time we got notified it was too late for our vote to count.

Given that there are some folks doing everything they can to ensure mail-in voting isn't used, I recommend against depending on the USPS for your ballot delivery.

Odd_System_89@reddit

I use to live in Washington and Vermont and now live in North Carolina. North Carolina has the best system I have seen of the 3 by far. You have a wide range of time to go vote, the multiple voting spots make it easy to get there, the lines were short, you can register and vote on the same day with no issues, and the machines at a glance seemed secure with the actual tabulating machine watched by everyone with 2 people dedicated to it. With Vermont you very well might have 1 place to vote, and with Washington you are relying on people to bring the ballot to you (which can get mucked up), this doesn't even count how hard it is to actually get off their rolls once on (I have tried 4 times now and they keep rejecting it with the advice to be come in in person and have yourself removed).

Here in California all ballots are mailed. You can either mail it in or return it at one of several polling locations in the county. Some of these locations are open early. The polling locations also have provisional ballots for folks who didn’t receive it or lost it.

in North Carolina the GOP specifically made election day a day off of school, but not a work holiday so that it burdens low income parents even more.

Has the GOP ever done anything to make it easier to vote? It says so much that they constantly get called out and shut down for trying to undermine this basic right.

thefedfox64@reddit

I think for me, part of it being a holiday is the celebration and recognition of it's importance. It's one day a year where people are to use their voice. Have workers do 4 hours, and they get holiday pay. I dislike because it helps one group more, that we should not move forward. Like mail in ballots don't help the Amish, so let's not do them. How about instead, service industries get a full day pay. What about tips? What about Eskimos? What about Indigenous people? Does getting a day off benefit retired people? Too many what about and not enough, let's start with this. Let's increase voters turn out, let's start with, it's important, it's vital and deserving of a holiday.

As a Canadian, most people I know are also a bit concerned about the US election bringing on issues, no matter who wins. We live right by the border and travel there multiple times a year. We purposely went a couple weeks ago on a shopping trip to stock up on items only available in or cheaper in the US, because we don’t want to go around the election or after. Quite a few of our friends and family did the same.

In recent years we have noticed people we meet in the US are very quick to start political discussions with strangers, chatting with people in a bar and politics get brought up a lot, we try to avoid the subject or won’t state an opinion because we don’t care and don’t want it to get contentious. A lot of Americans seem to have very strong political opinions these days and some seem to be looking to start arguments over it for no real reason.

I wouldn't get to worked up.

This doesn't surprise me at all, And If it surprised you, you need to be paying more attention. The tension on the rope for this election is so high that regardless of who wins there's going to be a lot of nonsense with people disputing it. Both sides have a non-trivial activist base that consider The winning of the other person as an existential problem, with them believing that it either proves the election is rigged, or that fascism is real.

I’m also in a swing state and retaliation from an unhinged person is why there is no Trump sign in our yard. We don’t need the house vandalized or our dogs poisoned.

So why did you tell OP he is wrong and this has to do with libations since federal employees get a remote day?

Federal employees receive a hybrid remote workday weekly, dude. Day after the election is normally a pretty popular remote day to use, as is the day after Super Bowl Sunday. It has more to do with libations and gettin' 'er done than doomsday prepping, that's for certain.

I'm not arguing. You factually said op was wrong because

Federal employees receive a hybrid remote workday weekly, dude.

You factually are wrong and got triggered when someone pointed out you are making assumptions based on no information outside of your workplace.

You clearly started off saying that OP is wrong.

Then your caveat basically was "I don't know the job or agency OP is referring to but i was right to tell them they are wrong"

I will have you know I am a grandmaster In competitive staring at drying ceramic glaze. How dare you even bring up such an inferior sport in my presence.

Well, i can watch it dry with my head in the kiln.

How about that ?

I went looking for an answer and found out that the office was shot at three times.

The Arizona Democratic party closed a field office in Tempe, Arizona, that was the target of three shootings in three weeks.

The candidates and staffers who had been working out of the office have moved their activities to undisclosed locations, said Lauren Kuby, a state Senate candidate in Legislative District 8.

It appears that the candidates and staffers aren't working out of the office currently, but this doesn't mean the violence will stop. It means the shooters will have to find other targets.

I have always kept my kids home and stayed home after Election Day. I’m not worried about any big threats or terrorists….im just worried about some random person who was probably up all night waiting for results or maybe was up all night arguing or something. It’s just a lot of tired angry drivers will be on the road the next day and I don’t want to deal with that mess 😂

I’m a teacher and my main concern is the potential for violence at the polls for purposes of intimidation by certain groups, because schools are often used as polling sites. I know my school is a polling site. I won’t be there on Election Day (I’m having surgery the day before) but I worry for my colleagues and students.

Of course something like this gets upvoted here.

This person is not even the government employee and has no idea why they are doing WFH. OP is making leaps and bounds in logic. Please stop upvoting stuff like this.

I don’t work in anything like government, and I blocked my calendar for 11/6 months ago. No matter what happens, I’m not gonna have the brain power to work.

Really hope the current government has plans behind the scenes to crush a very obvious violent attack that will come.

I'm sure they do. A biracial woman winning the election will spin a subset of people into insanity, I'm sure there's plenty of plan. Just like there used to be a pandemic plan. One that would have worked.
