    This Wisconsin experiment will have yuge downstream (or upstream?) electoral impacts. The pandemic is going to undoubtedly turn away a lot of older, at-risk folks who will lean Republican and would've otherwise voted in person in a non-pandemic. I'm sure a lot of lazy younger voters (who lean dem) will also stay at home because they're young and young people demonstrably don't give a shit. The state GOP is betting on the latter out weighing the former.

    Some cunt once said that either way it'll be interesting. I agree.

    Let's hear the TugTard excuses on why every state shouldn't move to mail-in voting.


    This subject has been studied. The fact is voter "turnout" declines in mail-in jurisdictions.

    Not surprised Democrats would champion an idea to subvert the will of the people. Not surprised at all.
    The will of the people is to make it harder for Black and Hispanics to vote. Got it!

    And here is our racist left telling us Blacks and Hispanics are too stupid to vote like white people

    Get your fucking hood out
    Read the article. How many polling sites have closed in your town?

    According to a report by the Leadership Conference Education Fund, a civil rights group, Texas has closed about 750 polling sites since 2012, including 542 sites in 50 counties where African American and Latino populations have significantly grown in recent years. With fewer polling sites available, it’s not surprising that voters in Harris County were facing long wait times on Tuesday night.
    My town is majority Hispanic

    Do you have a point cracker?
    You live in a blue state
    And?

    Just more blaming of the ref because you cant get people to vote for your bullshit

    Bernie can't even beat Hillary or Biden in Democrat primaries

    They close polling sites all the time. When I first moved to my neighborhood I voted in the garage of a house one block down the hill from me. I then voted in the middle school gym for a few years. They closed that and I voted at the fire station up the hill for a few years. They closed that one and then I voted at the community building by the park. That's now closed and my new polling place is in a church. So much for the separation of church and state.

    Pawz, do you have some information on that? I just had someone arguing with me how evil Republicans are and how BS the Supreme Court is for forcing this Wisconsin vote to move forward. Why wasn't it just delayed? I'm not for mail in vote as it is rife with fraud and would love to show him how turnout would actually be lower if that were the case. Seems counterintuitive to me.

    Also talks about the Election Day alternative. It’s from 2013, but somehow I doubt the voting process has improved enough to contradict the study from 7 years ago
    Thank you. I believe his argument will be the whole Wisconsin election should have been by mail or delayed until the voters weren't supressed. I haven't paid attention to the issue but he says it was because in addition to their primaries there were state supreme court openings and the Republicans knew they could hurt the Democrtas by not extending the vote.

    There’s the argument that mail-in votes increases/decreases voter turnout and then there’s the singular one your opponent is making that the SCOTUS decision could hurt this specific voter turnout (which it more or less is as ballots are being invalidated despite extenuating circumstances).

    I see it both ways, I am a fence sitter

    Let's hear the TugTard excuses on why every state shouldn't move to mail-in voting.


    This subject has been studied. The fact is voter "turnout" declines in mail-in jurisdictions.

    Not surprised Democrats would champion an idea to subvert the will of the people. Not surprised at all.
    Pawz, do you have some information on that? I just had someone arguing with me how evil Republicans are and how BS the Supreme Court is for forcing this Wisconsin vote to move forward. Why wasn't it just delayed? I'm not for mail in vote as it is rife with fraud and would love to show him how turnout would actually be lower if that were the case. Seems counterintuitive to me.

    Also talks about the Election Day alternative. It’s from 2013, but somehow I doubt the voting process has improved enough to contradict the study from 7 years ago
    early voting appears to be the only way to go -

    biggest benefit - less advertising and campaigning. I want early voting to start now


    Edit - Washington and Oregon not included mainly because the elections are over before we? finish voting. Our? votes do not matter

    Don't necessarily agree. The networks may call the Presidential election before poles close in the far west but until things change massively, those are 3 solid blue states regardless. You could call them as Blue in June if you wanted...no big surprise there. And since we? operate under the electoral college system anyway, Cali, OR and WA are probably going to go blue irregardless. But it always is nice to say, "fuck that - I didn't vote like the rest of you retards" when the national total goes red.

    The reason one's votes count is the local and state elections/initiatives. If someone is voting only for President, they're doing it wrong.

    You know how hard it is to get the average Millenial to take something to the damn mailbox?

    I'm all for mail in ballots but I don't think they would be the boon for turnout that many think they would.

    I do think it would be easy to cheat
