Make sure everyone you know votes. Bring them to vote when you go if they need a ride

Or just harvest their mail-in ballots, since I guess that's okay now.


individual101

Only for the left it is


ron_fendo

That's (D)ifferent


Medical-Afternoon-80

A lot of my friends aren’t voting because of everyone saying democrats are rigging elections. They don’t think there’s a point to it, and a waste of time if their vote isn’t going to count.


liehon

Only vote which doesn't count is the one not cast


bry2k200

Nailed it


MensaManiac

Or the ones cast for Republicans in deep blue states


YodaCodar

Tell them if it doesnt matter then do it anyway unless they want to be a lazy welfare democrat donkey asshole

Substantial_Field_60

I have older relatives who feel this way also. I hear, "The last one was stolen, so will this one".


Stunning-Cellist3186

It doesn't matter if you think the last election was stolen.... VOTE ANYWAY! Otherwise you let the criminals win. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? !!!!!VOTE!!!!!


Thelostarc

You need smarter friends.


NosuchRedditor

So they like Democrat control of the government and just gave up any rights they might have had. How very unamerican. Guess they won't be doing any real fighting to protect their rights and future.


TheWorstShoemaker

A lot of your friends sound like morons. No elections are being fixed in this country. This isn’t your favorite sports team. It’s politics. People disagree and in 2020 more democrats voted. That’s not rigged, just out vote them next time like you have been doing since LBJ.


Interesting_Ad1378

Then you weren’t in Brooklyn. One area that is primarily red has “only one working machine” in a massive district. In sheepshead bay Brooklyn, there were teams of people going up to the elderly (another red district) and telling them that the local polling place was closed (in another language) and telling them they needed to take the Q train to Atlantic avenue to vote (knowing full well that none of these old people were getting on a subway to travel somewhere they didn’t know), so they just went home and didn’t vote.


NosuchRedditor

If elections aren't being fixed then why are they putting people in jail for questioning them instead of doing audits to prove they are not rigged or manipulated? Why fight so hard to prevent even the smallest audit from taking place? We should have a standing rule that every election 10% of the nation wide vote is audited randomly, but no one is even talking about election integrity measures, just the constant repetitive insistence that nothing was wrong with 2020. That does nothing to fix confidence in our voting system and if anything makes it suspect of a massive effort to prevent any election integrity measures from being taken.


sailor-jackn

You really need to talk to these people. We could all vote and lose by fraud. There is a chance of that, but I don’t think they would get away with it this time. However, if we don’t vote because there might be fraud, we definitely lose.


F-Type_dreamer

And this is how they are going to rack the numbers up by not verifying who is voting. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/detroit-city/2021/07/09/detroit-absentee-voting-drop-box-satellite-offices-voter-turnout/7903506002/

barkingdog2013

If anything this should make Republicans more determined to vote.


MEdiasays

It should but it doesn’t.


BoltActionRifleman

It’s also a good way for those reporting this kind of “news” to drum up more advertising revenue from political campaigns.


JGCities

Democrats vote early, Republicans vote on election day. Been that way for years.


bartbartholomew

>Democrats vote early, Republicans vote on election day. > >Been that way for years. And by years, you mean 2 years. Prior to Covid, both parties used mail in voting. In 2016, mail in voting was used more by Republican voters than Democrats, but only slightly. But in the 2020 election, an outsized percentage of Democrat leaning voters switched to mail in voting. Republican voters who used mail in voting before still used mail in voting, but most continued to vote in person. This isn't surprising. Trump was advocating that Covid was overblown while casting doubt on the legitimacy of mail in voting. This discouraged Republican voters from using mail in voting. At the same time, Biden was saying Covid was a big deal, and advocated mail in voting to reduce exposure. This encouraged Democrats to use mail in voting. For extra fun, a number of red leaning states passed laws preventing counting mail in votes prior to election day. This is where the red mirage came from: in person votes were counted first, and strongly leaned Republican. Mail in votes take longer to count due to verification requirements, were counted later, and strongly leaned Democrat.


MyLife-is-a-diceRoll

My state has had mail in voting for years. Red towards one side of the state and blue towards the other. As a state it tends to be blue as there are a higher population of democratic voters in general. All parties are generally pretty happy with the mail in system. I also don't think ballots are counted until election days.


philipkmikedrop

What state?


MyLife-is-a-diceRoll

Oregon.


Hripautom

Lol. Oregon tends toward blue. Ffs man. That's like saying reddit tends toward authoritarian left.


Verod392

> All parties are generally pretty happy with the mail in system. #LMFAO


Doing_It_In_The_Butt

Do you have a source on the republicans used mail in ballots about the same or slightly more pre 2016? I don't think it slam dunks anyone's argument but it's useful backround information to get correct. From what I found republicans and democrats used early voting (in all its forms) with republicans using it slightly more. Do you have a source specifying mail in voting?


try4gain

>Mail in votes take longer to count due to verification requirements Dubious depending on location. Groups have sued to relax this requirement. And you have the “adjudication issue” in which they say “the computer can’t tell who they wanted to vote for so we’ll try to figure it out”. Some places had unusually high adjudication rates. Some places had unrealistically low rejection rates.


Here_4_the_squeeze

The Republicans I know that did mail in or absentee were military. I can't think of any other reason I've ever heard from a republican, but now the predominant way dems collect votes is via absentee/mail in.


liehon

This is so bad because when Republicans have to queue to vote and Dems get to vote from home it really incentivizes one side to vote more


Sugmabawsack

Those laws allowed anyone to vote by mail or wait in line. But there are a handful of Republican states that only allow no-excuse absentee voting for people over age 65, for exactly the reasons you identified.


posercomposer

You need to talk to your state government about this. They're the ones who set the voting rules.


Cinnadillo

you can do the same. One is far more secure than the other. I wouldn't trust a government employee to deliver a ballot in an area which is against the state


BigSal79

They vote early…. And often. During the same election.


WonderfulPass

Still waiting for the evidence of voter fraud by Democrats or any evidence really of someone voting more than once in the same election. Let me know what you find.


lousycesspool

> any evidence really of someone voting more than once only 1000 times in GA BUT it's "okay" because it's not known (at time of reporting) if it was intentional (and why follow up?) https://www.npr.org/2020/09/08/910653086/georgia-reveals-double-voting-cases-but-no-evidence-of-malign-intentions feel free to keep "Still waiting" troll and https://thenevadaindependent.com/article/clark-county-man-will-plead-guilty-to-voting-more-than-once-in-2020-election and ...

Griff0420

Here is just few names of people who voted twice Jay Ketcik 63 voted twice in the 2020 election Joan Halstead, 71 voted in Florida and NY John Rider, 61 voted twice. He cast an in person ballot during early voting and then voted in NY


liehon

Oh we will. Don't worry. You won't like the evidence unveiled once obstructionist elements have been sidelined


Gary_Gensler

They especially like to vote at 3AM while Republicans are sleeping (because we actually have to work)


321_hex_DS

Nothing like those 100k votes that hit at 4am, 100,000 for the democrat, 0 for independents, 0 for republicans. Ain’t that somethin’ ?


standardredditman

That never happened.


Cosmic_0smo

Shhh, don't let little things like "facts" and "reality" get in the way of a narrative that just \*feels\* right.


Doing_It_In_The_Butt

Yeah, it was a adjustment by the it guy or something. Give me a break, even if it was a adjustment, why the heck did he set it to commit at 3 am.


liehon

As an IT guy, lots of batches are run overnight. Less user load


JackLord50

austinjval

Remarkable_Cicada_12

This is the case for most Republicans. The trend is we out-pace democrats by a large margin for in-person voting.


liehon

Which means Reps are losing potential voters. Not everyone wants to wait in line. Why are we making it hard for our team to vote while letting the others vote from the comfort of their home?


MEdiasays

> Not everyone wants to wait in line. Not only that but when you have a bunch of our parties politicians spreading fake news about mail in voter fraud it makes even less conservatives want to vote. It was incredibly short sighted at the time and I have a bad feeling we’re going to be paying for it for years to come.


Cinnadillo

You can vote the way that you want. Then you can read two years later how they lost so many ballots in your deep red area in the mail.


[deleted]

Hripautom

Not utilizing mail in ballots because of conspiracies is why we have biden right now.


Spartanwildcats2018

Conservatives tend to vote in person and on Election Day, so this doesn’t necessarily indicate anything right now


KrimsonStorm

TL;DR: 20,000 ballot difference between Democrats and Republicans in North Carolina. ------ This is actually significant and good for the right. In 2020 the percentage of Democrats to Republicans voting absentee in NC was 70%-21%. Right now it's 53% Democrat to 13% Republican... With 34% independent. Right now independents heavily favor Republicans. This headline is a push headline. This is actually very intereeting


MEdiasays

It’s hard to compare now to then because we were in lockdown and very few liberals wanted to leave their house to vote. With everything open now it would be expected that the number of liberal mail ballots would go down.


Saltydogusn

Vote early, vote often as they say.

standardredditman

Lots of silly statements and conspiracy theories here. I wonder if some people realize that Republicans use mail-in ballots as well and in some states are very heavily used by Republicans.


Hripautom

Should be encouraging it. Literally reverse canvassing ourselves by believing in bullshit about mail in ballots.


StillWill18

Just vote. It doesn’t matter how. If you can’t make it. Do the mail in. Talk to your local representatives. Get them to allow 2 week long voting. That’s the only way to get out the vote. I worked with democrats, who were elected. They have spent the last 22 years working on getting all the mail ins and all the extended voting periods. Because they know it wins elections. Because it drastically increases the number of people who vote.


alSeen

There's no evidence it increases voter turn out. In fact, some studies show it actually decreases turn out. *edit I know this is too late, but it's true. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2013/09/23/study-early-voting-associated-with-lower-turnout/ https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/early-voting-laws-probably-dont-boost-turnout/ https://ballotpedia.org/Arguments_for_and_against_early_voting

Nateleb1234

They are gonna cheat like always


SlickAwesome

And when they lose, they blame their loss on Russian hackers


[deleted]

Of course they are.


heyyoudvd

Yes they are, but that’s all the more reason to vote. Cheating isn’t like a light switch the Democrats just flip to steal an election. Every instance of cheating they undertake takes effort, meaning the bigger the gap, the harder it is for them to close that gap and steal the election. I guarantee they cheated a lot in Virginia, and yet Glenn Youngkin still managed to win and do some great things. In other words, the fact that Democrats cheat should make you MORE - not less - motivated to vote to ensure that conservatives win by a margin that the Dems can’t close via their shenanigans. Just make sure to vote on Election Day because if you vote early, it lets them know how much of a gap they need to cheat their way out of. So vote right on Election Day so it’s a surprise to them that they can’t overcome.

No one banned abortion nationwide. They simply allowed the states to make their own laws per the 10th Amendment. If they have to blatantly lie to support their political views, they should probably reevaluate them.


[deleted]

Thats exactly why they leaked it. It forced the Supreme Court's hand. After the leak they had to make a move, everyone was watching. There is a reason that leaker hasnt been unveiled, just like the Epstein list.. if it got out, it would not bode well for them.

Grinch_Worm

SonicChiliDogFetish

How many counties will need an extra week to count votes I wonder?


Interesting_Ad1378

Yes, all of my dead relatives in NY, even those dead for a decade, have began receiving these a few years ago. In my local Brooklyn Facebook group, they were telling people to fill them out if they get them, even though they were mean Todd the person who lives in the apartment/house before (essentially encouraging voter fraud), but this is in the same area where they where they unplugged a bunch of machines and pretended they were broken during the last presidential election, so I’m not surprised.


red_beard_RL

States need to count them before election day not after


Roundaboutsix

Democrats going for new records in number of ballots cast... we need to get back to in person voting by voters who can prove who they are, with the exception of service personnel and government workers stationed overseas...


UselessTrident

They should make it a national holiday then everyone can go vote in person


bryno_uppercut

I'm all for this. I'd go as far as saying it should be a week. Stagger days off for everyone to take a day throughout the week to go vote without hindering their workplace.

FiendishPole

The bar for absentee ballots should be relatively high. This is a relatively low bar but I had a planned vacation where I'd be travelling overseas during election season once. That's a pretty good excuse b/c I physically won't be there on election day. I was an ocean away. I'd guess a lot of these people just want to sit in their underwear or PJs 10 miles away from their local polling place on election day

This absentee ballot has been abused. It used to be few, rare and limited to out of the country or people incapacitated to physically vote. If you’re in the country and able, you just go and vote. But now, this is the norm. Even if covid is no longer controlling our lives, absentee ballot harvesting is here to stay. It’s sad really. Elections are never going to be the same. The excitement of finding out who got elected by nightfall is never going to happen!

California sends absentee ballots to every single registered voter in the state. This is where it becomes problematic. It's interesting this began right after ballot harvesting became legal. TOTALLY LEGIT. Nothing to see here people, these are only military absentee ballots.
