The electoral college needs to go; it's an archaic vestige of antebellum America whose counterpart is completely unknown in any developed nation on the globe.

Explain, thoughtfully, why any of these things is a bad idea?

First off, what you quoted was the CHARACTERIZATION of someone who supports the bill, not actual bill language. Surely you know this, correct?

Hence, just cause it says
quote:


"The voting rights bills would have expanded voter registration with automatic and same-day registration,
doesn't really tell you the HOW.

quote:

increased access to the polls by expanding early and absentee voting
These are fricking HORRIBLE ideas even with the characterization. All they're trying to do is create an ever larger pool of votes that have pretty much zero chance of maintaining chain of custody.

quote:

and created new criteria for determining which states must receive pre-approval from the Justice Department or U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia before enacting laws that would affect voting rights."
And THIS is just utter fricking bull shite power grab that gives them the ability to prevent any changes to voting laws they don't like.

quote:

Let's be real. Republicans don't want everyone to vote. They win when fewer vote.
Oh pahleez parrot.

quote:

They win because the Electoral College is a ridiculous byzantine way to determine a president
Actually, it's utter genius.

Have non partisan election officials certify - like we do today!

That is the most idiotic thing I think you have ever posted.

That is exactly why the electoral college is there.

If you are registered to vote and your signature matches your ballot, why does it matter? The entire state of Utah (and others) vote by mail. Do you think that's a bad idea? Funny how conservatives used to love vote by mail until they realized that making it easier for all to vote (legally!) would harm them.

No one minded vote by mail until liberals started playing VERY fast and loose with timing and even with sourcing.

I don't mind getting a vote by mail from SBBruin. I mind getting 3,000 votes by mail mailed from SBBruin's house.

Judging by RESULTS, clearly, the rest of the globe should have paid better attention.

I didn’t realize we should do what other countries do.

The electoral college protects minority interests and is the heart of our representative republic. We are not a democracy at a national level and never intended to be so. The reason you see more democracy the closer your elected officials are to you is because the founders knew they were easier to say “frick you” to which they wanted. It is a brilliant system that is the best in the world, in which, created the world’s largest economy.

Since many states changed their election laws (illegally literally days before the election) to not verify signature matches then anyone can vote for anyone else and it would count.

It would make it ripe for election fraud.. That was already proven in 2020.

Saying it don't make it so. Name one proven case of wide-spread voter fraud in 2020. Not talking about the random Trump supporter voting illegally LINK

Same day registration is a non starter for me, as in mail in voting, unless it follows the absentee rules. Also add in a valid ID. Amend the quoted statement to include these things, and I’m in.

Other than being a popular Trumpist accusation, nothing of the sort was ever proved. In fact, 61 of 62 lawsuits challenging the results of the election were summarily thrown out for being frivolous

I agree. ID is totally reasonable to verify/certify. If we make IDs free (not needing to pay at the DMV to get one). If that's the case, I'm in too

Same day registration is a farce. Explain to me why it’s a good idea.

Anyone who thinks retard turnip Biden was legitimately elected is a liar or a retard. Which one are you?

A majority of Americans do not have faith in the current system. We need to make elections more secure. Ban electronic voting, ban absentee ballots, ban same day voter registration/voting, and other things prone to fraud, vote buying, and ballot harvesting.

Besides name calling, can you actually cite one legit source /reason that he was not legally elected? All I hear from people like you are ad hominem attacks but as they say in Texas, 'all hat, no cattle.' I can name call too but come here trying to learn and engage... come on man, debate, cite some sources, bring your best argument to convince me that he truly won the election.
