    The Democrats have given us another option. You don’t have to register to vote. On Election Day, have 10 fake names, go to 10 polling booths and vote 10 times,” she wrote Saturday on X, the site formerly known as Twitter

    And as always, the conservative accusations are nothing more than confessions. But sure, go ahead. The more conservative fraud, the easier it will be to pick up on and invalidate

    …have 10 fake names, go to 10 polling booths and vote 10 times. That’s 100 votes…

    100 x elon’s $47 = profit?

    What is the issue with voter registration in the US? In Canada you update your voter information whenever you submit your taxes and you just show picture ID on the day.

    If you’ve moved to another riding between tax seasons and forgot to update your info, you can combine picture ID with a current piece of mail, like your latest utility bill or bank statement and you have to get someone to vouch for you.

    You might be able to get away with voting a bunch of times by getting mail with your name sent to different areas and paying people to vouch for you, but you’re going to get found out pretty quickly.

      It’s to disenfranchise voters conservatives don’t like, meaning non white, non Christian people.

      GOP groups have repeatedly done studies where the examined which forms of ID black people were least likely to possess, then made those requirements for voting.

      It’s not accidentally inconvenient, it’s intentionally set up to disenfranchise and discriminate.

      Honestly, if you hear about anything in this country and wonder why the hell we do it in a fucked up way, it’s either disenfranchising a group, making a billionaire more money, or both. See: healthcare, voting, copyright, the highway system, gerrymandering, prisons, and many, many more things
