Matt Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Dems forcing top down control of elections. Automatic voter registration, forced 2 week early voting in every state, restoration of voting rights for felons, undermining of state voter ID requirements, codification of fraud prone ballot harvesting at the national level... Seems unconstitutional as hell that the federal government would usurp state's rights to write their own election laws. Repubs are done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think felons who served their time should absolutely have voting rights. Other than that lack voter verification is bad for everyone. Republicans can exploit that as much as democrats. Imagine having a 200% voter turn out lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 I'm for the holiday. Vehemently opposed to automatic registration, mailing ballots unsolicited, ballot harvesting, and ID-free voting. Until we have a sound validation process, no election will be trusted anymore. Too much doubt sown on both sides. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsolicited mailed ballots and ballot harvesting are far too ripe targets for either side, but especially the dems, to leave alone. Should be like most of European and Asian countries. Show ID at your polling place and vote in person. Mail voting should be extenuating circumstances only, and early voting should be limited to one week prior to election day. There's a reason "can I change my early vote" was trending in November. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voter turnout under 65% is fucking pathetic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of us blue collar service people work-on Saturdays., so, having extended hrs on voting day, whichever day it falls on, really helps.

Seems unconstitutional as hell that the federal government would usurp state's rights to write their own election laws. Repubs are done. Well, we all knew this was coming. However, some of it is rational. I never understood why it has to be done in one day. Why not two or three so most can find more time to go vote. Now, the violating of states rights to verify identity and verify votes...that's gonna get sticky, and the Dems are in full power mode to destroy all of that for their own needs. 20 hours ago, Anler said: I think felons who served their time should absolutely have voting rights.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted March 8, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) 10 minutes ago, Anler said: Nope Yep....per the constitution. Section 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment specifically provides that states may abridge the right to vote of citizens “for participation in rebellion, or other crime.” I'm actually not 100% opposed to some felons being given back voting rights or right to own firearms. Serve your time and pay your penalty's first but its up to the states. I think the constitution is clear on who should decide. If the Federal govt wants to change that like other times in our history it should be done thru constitutional amendments.

It's also why the founders originally set it up where only the House was directly elected. We were never supposed to be a direct democracy. That's never worked before and won't here either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
