It's not singular laws. It's a mixture of laws and policies that make it more and more of a hassle to vote. For example: Less polling stations per capita so that people have to travel further to vote and wait in line longer. Less machines per polling station, worsening the line times more so. Polls closing for early voting earlier in the day to reduce people voting after work. Banned mail in for most people to stop those that work 2 jobs or split shifts from voting. Mandatory ID, meaning if you forget your ID on the day then tough, you lost your right to vote, even though you already showed ID when you registered and they match ID to your registration when you vote. The ability for vote counters to throw away ballots for the smallest of issues with no real checks in place. Go back further and these blockades were more serious, such as the literacy tests that polling workers could decide on a case by case basis to require people to pass in order to vote. It's all the same, just less obvious these days.

@SiqFix Wrong how? Find me a mail in ballot not signed and I'll show you a mail in ballot that doesn't count. They are matched to registered IDs.

Except it just ends up with nothing ever getting done. Other countries work just fine without these sorts of rules.

@loripiontek Australia only has 2,522 covid deaths. Even adjusted for population that's less than 4% the death rate of the US. But sure, blame the Australian government for having the wherewithal to actually keep a lid on this thing.

@minniemaeshufflebutt116 "Australian citizens are losing all their rights, in the name of covid fearmongering." Not really fearmongering when there are millions of people dead from it. "if covid really was that dangerous, then why have 2 million mostly unvetted, unvaccinated, untested for covid and numerous other diseases?" I'm assuming this is a reference to immigration, although next time try finishing your thought before spewing it onto the page. The answer is that you're wrong, that's not happening. They are being tested at the border and quarantined when they test positive. They are also being offered the vaccine.

@SiqFix No there weren't. All mail in ballots are matched to an individual who has an ID on record. Stop making things up because you lost.

@minniemaeshufflebutt116 "there were many Ballot envelopes not signed or were not matching close enough, that were rejected." Proving the system works. Cheers.

@BERSERK263 Actually it is true, that's how those votes work. States count the votes. Are you saying that states are miscounting votes?
1
@BERSERK263 So Republican governors went out of their way to miscount the vote so that a Democrat could win the election? Then, in a fit of insurmountable remorse, immediately regretted their decision and decided to change voting laws to add more restrictions? Makes perfect sense. Thanks for letting me know.

@BERSERK263 Oh dear, looks like your just figured out you made an oopsy. Better luck next time champ. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

@BERSERK263 Is your entire comment chain a long series of poorly thought out projection, or just this comment?

@nonhatespeech "You are just here to make statements in favor of changing rules" Actually most of the rules making it harder to vote happened in Republican states just after Biden won. They are a reactionary shift to try and gain an unfair advantage in the next election. "so that the elections can be further manipulated and are open to outrageous fraud" Ironic. "Why didn’t you just come outright and claim racism in our elections like many others." Well no, it's political, it just so happens that their target demographic is black Americans. Mostly because they have the highest rate of Democrat voters. So it's not a racial issue, but they are targeting people based on race.

@nonhatespeech You mean aside from the new laws they literally just came out with in the last year? Someone hasn't been paying attention.

@nonhatespeech "None of what you speak of is as restrictive as many of the laws already in place in many blue states" That's just not true. Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas and Wisconsin all have strict voter ID laws. Only Wisconsin has a Democrat governor. The next set of states, which are less strict are Alabama, Florida, Montana, South Carolina, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Rhode Island, South Dakota and Texas. Of those 11 only 3 have Democrat governors. That means of the 18 strictest states for voter ID laws, 15 are Republican. The next 4 states all require non-photo ID to vote, and they are Arizona, North Dakota, Wyoming and Ohio, which are all Republican. So stop with the blatant misinformation. Even if you ignore this, Georgia's election is a perfect example of long lines designed to stop people voting. Georgia's population has increased over 8% from 2012 to 2020, yet the number of polling places dropped by 13%. The reduction was more stark in highly populated areas, where people in some counties are averaging only 1 polling stations per 8K-9K eligible voters. This results in lines through the night, with people joining the line hours before the polls close, and finally voting (with provisional ballots I might add) well into the next day. Statewide, the number of voters served by the average polling place rose 47%, from 2,046 voters in 2012 to 3,003 as of Oct. 9 Some polling stations had upwards of 22K voters assigned to them. You're an ignorant troll who has absolutely no clue of either the history or the current efforts to suppress votes. You disgust me.

@nonhatespeech Wow, so convincing. I'm so glad you dropped even the pretense of trying to engage in an intellectual discussion. God forbid you actually produce a single piece of factual information to support your utter bollocks. Touch grass Kelly.

@nonhatespeech Battle? You can't even use a single factual statement and you want to have an actual argument? What an absolute joke. Either post a source or gtfo.
