...and, zero examples. Why are republicans always lying about voter fraud? Here’s another example.

Accusations are confessions.

Just figure out what they’re confessing to.

Still no evidence of this, huh. SHOCKING.

Here’s Trump again, today.

President Trump: "I think mail-in voting is horrible, it's corrupt."

Reporter: "You voted by mail in Florida's election last month, didn't you?"

Trump: "Sure. I can vote by mail"

Reporter: "How do you reconcile with that?"

Trump: "Because I'm allowed to."

Sounds like our democratic freedoms are being taken away
Next question: do you think people will put up with it or will there be a new revolution?

I hear nothing in terms of substance, just a lot of race based blaming of white people.

Being reasonable is a cover? She complains about scrubbing voter rolls because people move - people are supposed to vote in the location where they live, and only in the location where they live, how is this prejudicial? The election bodies of the governments are charged with the work of enforcing rules and policies, you can't argue that the enforcement of rules and policies are bad just because you don't like the outcome. A citizen's right to vote comes with the responsibility of following the rules to keeping their voter registration updated.

Rights have responsibilities!!!

+1.

Just like Coronavirus, this is a situation where you either believe experts or you don’t.

Experts have said that vote fraud is negligible. There are no large scale cases of it.

College students can always vote absenteee. In fact, that is the way it should work.

Says who?

They represent their home state, not where they are a temporary resident.

The Census counts people where they physically reside and apportions Congressional seats and a lot of federal funding based on those population numbers. Students who spend four or more years in a college town spend and direct a lot of money into that town/county/state and have legitimate interest in city, county, and state laws and policies that affect their lives while they are there. They have every right under the law to decide which place they consider their residence for voting purposes - their college residence or their parents' home residence.

It has been established law for a long time that individuals are free to decide for themselves which place to declare as their legal residence, as long as they claim only one place. Only recently Republicans have tried to selectively disenfranchise college students by questioning their right to register with dorm addresses, by annually purging voter rolls in college towns, and by not locating voting locations near campuses. In a real democracy, each college campus would be a voting precinct and student registration and voting would be encouraged.

If you think that students should not be able to vote at their college residences, do you apply the same standard to military personnel and their families who are stationed in a state for only two or three years at a time? Should they not be allowed to register and vote in state and local elections while they are there? Do you realize that a lot of military personnel change their legal residence to Florida or Texas when temporarily stationed there and then keep that as their legal residence long after they have left because those states do not have income tax? They vote absentee in FL or TX instead of where they live currently or where they are from originally in order to maintain the tax advantage.

Trump admits that voting by mail is bad for Republicans. This is a bat signal to every elected and appointed Republican in the country to resist calls to make any aspect of voting in November easier due to the pandemic, to the point of killing people like the Wisconsin GOP probably did. It’s all bullshit. Entire states have been voting exclusively by mail since the 1980s with no evidence of fraud.

Americans will never protest again. Too afraid of being photographed and losing their jobs.

A New Hampshire Court has struck down SB.3--the voter registration law aimed at disenfranchising college students.

There's a lot of concerns, many concerns,
About voting by mail.
A lot of people say it's corrupt.
It's not clear it can be done securely.

It's not clear this is the right time.
You don't want go into something like that at the wrong time.

So we'll see.
