  1. In this case, it's voter suppression since, if these people didn't realize their party affiliation had been changed, they wouldn't be allowed to vote in the next primary.

  3. This is a good example as to why I think only those employed by the county should be handling voter registrations and changes to those registrations. Ideally, it should be only employees of the county voters' registration office, but Florida allows employees of the tax collector's office to do it as well.

  4. I can't attest to how things are done in other states, but here's how voting is done in Florida. When you register to vote, you're asked if you want to select a party affiliation (you can opt to have no affiliation if you wish). That selection doesn't limit who you can vote for in general elections. For example, if you were a Republican, you would've been allowed to vote for Biden (a Democrat) this past presidential election if you wanted. The only limit is with the primaries. Primaries are how the parties select their nominees for various state and federal offices. Florida, as mentioned in the video, is what's called a "closed primary" state. That means that if you're a Republican, you can only vote in a Republican primary and if you're a Democrat, you can only vote in a Democratic primary. People who affiliate with other parties or no party at all can't vote in either party's primary (as far as I know, third parties in Florida don't hold primaries). The one exception is if the winner of a party's primary won't be facing another party's (or an independent) candidate in the general election, then anyone can vote in that party's primary. I don't agree with this system for my own reasons, but I hope that this helps you understand how it works a little better.

  5. Since you chose to click and comment on one of its videos, I guess that makes you a sucker.

  6. Someone in this comment section brought up a good point. These fake voter registration people now have these elderly people's personal information. What else will the fraudsters do with it besides change the voter registration?
