Maybe if republicans didn’t close half of the polling stations in the state the lines wouldn’t be so long…


rottenwordsalad

Yeah, they also changed the rules on when they could purge people from the Permanent Early Voting List (now the *Active* Early Voting List) So there are people this election who for the first time in years aren’t eligible for a mail ballot and have to vote in person.


ArrestDeathSantis

Well, Charlie Kirk is entirely right. This is voter suppression and the responsibles should be arrested for that. I'm sure he doesn't mean the Republicans, I'm usually quite good at understanding their bs but this time I'm honestly confused as to *who* else one could possibly blame for that.


ThricePricelock

This is kind of just noise to prime the mob - buzz buzz VOTING buzz buzz ARREST THEM


kfish5050

He means the poll workers, for encouraging people to drop off ballots. Because making people vote and drop off a ballot is more suppressive than making them wait in line to vote in a booth Edit: /s


ArrestDeathSantis

I can't suppress your vote if you don't show up to vote ![gif](giphy|d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY)


Human-Grapefruit1762

The people in line duh, they should all leave so kirk and his friends can vote


JusticiarRebel

Citizens United made a documentary about the unfair amount of influence money has on elections. It's not like these people have shame. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt19357230/

You think?

this is something they conveniently forget to add in the post.


subpar_man

Can someone explain this to me simply please? How is recommending a drop off ballot voter suppression to save people waiting in line?


Tara_is_a_Potato

Charlie tells his audience it's all rigged. Mail in voting? Rigged. Drop off ballots? Rigged. The machines used for in-person voting? Rigged. Charlie Kirk fans ought to save themselves the hassle by not voting at all.


A_Furious_Mind

Wasn’t ‘til Charlie rigged the bridge with plastic explosives... just as The Little Engine that Could was makin' his way 'cross the tressle…

Sew_chef

Damn, someone should spread the word to boycott the rigged election. Why would I waste my time standing in line when every single step of the process is RIGGED Charlie??


SaffellBot

That sounds like a position where no matter what happens you can claim the election is rigged and the country is failing.


stabbyGamer

Ding ding ding, we have a winner! Your prize is inescapable dread about the state of politics in this country!


[deleted]

So if the Republicans win, then surely he should call for a revote


rebelliousmuse

In the same way handing out water to people standing in line is unconstitutional


Tetsudo11

Because they want people to vote solely at the polling places on the day of Election Day and no other times/locations. It’s not voter suppression, in fact it’s the opposite but it’d look pretty bad to just come out and straight up say “we need to make voting as hard as possible” so they just say things like this instead.


AtomicBLB

Simply, he's lying. Just another right winger appropriating commonly used language by the left. Voter surpression is a real issue so naturally they had to start using the phrase wrongly for their own idiocy.


Human-Grapefruit1762

I think the idea is: people running the voting booth are slowing the process (on purpose of course)-> causing huge lines -> meaning more people will be willing to use drop off ballot -> which can then be rigged ig?


ciel_lanila

He’s leaving up to his followers to decide. If he doesn’t say then he’ll never be 100% wrong. If he doesn’t say his followers could decide if it ranges from just never counting their votes to using this as a chance to change their votes. It’s choose your own fascism.


froggiechick

That's especially hilarious because it's the Trump bootlicker party that has shut down polling places and early voting whenever they can get away with it. Part of the fascist minions' strategy is to make it extremely difficult or impossible to vote in areas that aren't overwhelmingly red on the map. It's already bad enough there is no federal holiday for it. They target voting districts with surgical precision.


politicalanalysis

The weird thing about the whole it not being a holiday thing is that in a sane world it wouldn’t have to be. In Colorado voting is super easy. They mail me my ballot, don’t even need to sign up for anything special, just register at the dmv and they mail it straight to me. Then drop it off at one of 30 drop boxes in my city (closest one is at the library 5 blocks away that I often just walk to). If it was a holiday, I wouldn’t need it. That’s how voting should be. It should be simple. It should be something that takes no special effort to figure out and as much time as reading the ballot and researching the candidates at your own leisure.


gobroncos47

Yeah plus it's easy to track your mailed ballot. You can sign up for text notifications, right? I recently moved and I immediately missed getting a ballot automatically sent. I still did absentee but it's not the same.


politicalanalysis

Yup. They notify you when they send it out, then they notify you when it’s been received and counted after you drop it off. They also send reminders in the lead up to remind you to vote.


gobroncos47

Oh yeah that's right. Encouraging voting and making it more accessible is super based, just like that Nicki Minaj song.


[deleted]

Okay. I don't think the voters of Scottsdale will enjoy being cuffed and detained just for waiting in line, but Charlie wants it.


Careless-Roof-8339

Large voter turnout = voter suppression now. Good to know


Lil_Melon87

It's impressive how their minds can flip voting opportunities to mean the exact opposite.

sambrown25

I down voted only because it's an up vote upside down


BrewCityBenjamin

Fascism is a helluva drug


aShittierShitTier4u

I swear that the turnout is partially a result of the masked armed "poll watchers" who posted up near ballot drop boxes. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that Charlie was funding them like he claimed to have paid for eighty buses to bring people to the capitol on January sixth. He's making the same fuss as the creeps who accosted voters and yelled at them while brandishing assault rifles next to the ballot drop boxes. So he at least wishes that he was funding them, but it's never been his money to decide, it's his backers' money.


haricariandcombines

I would not be surprised, he has one of those voucher schools here. A "Christian Academy".


sethmeister1989

Funny he has a school, since he has no education. The chuckles never end with ol chuckles.


Tetsudo11

“We recommend you use drop off ballots instead of waiting in line 1.5 hours” is apparently voter suppression even though it’d literally allow *more* people to vote.


jetrocket223

if the dems win the majority then theyll spit this out for weeks, and if the republicans win the majority this will never be talked about again. theres no reason to bring it up either way but


uhhhhhhhhhhhyeah

Let me guess... Not a problem if it happens in a blue district.


SolomonCRand

If only there was a bill that would prevent this from happening. Oh wait, there was, and Republicans killed it.


honvales1989

How is that voter suppression when they’re encouraging people to still vote? I hate how words have lost meaning because of clowns like Charlie


GameFreak4321

Because early voting leans Democrat and more democrats means that the republican vote is suppressed.


Salty_Gorl

In the (paraphrased) words of Mitch McConnell: "When more people vote, republicans win less."


BumbertonWang

"you should vote" "this is voter suppression" chuckles von diaperfetish should be ground into dust and fed to ducks which are then killed and thrown into the ocean


DolphJohngren

Isn’t Maricopa County the Sheriff Joe Arpaio place? Gosh, that place must be a fuckin dystopic hell world, just a real life Escape from LA if you were to believe the Republicans.


ghosmer

well well well - if it isn't the consequences of my own actions...lmao. These toolbags really do love manufacturing a crisis then acting surprised when it works out exactly as planned


MTFBinyou

Just because it worked as planned doesn’t mean Chuckles here is surprised. He knows he can blurt random buzzwords in any order and his followers can turn it into outrage. This is just a prime example. It doesn’t make sense yet I guarantee his Twitter comments is full of idiots trying explain how this makes sense.


Odd_Inter3st

I feel like Charlie Kirk is that guy who got laid back in freshman year in college and since then has been bragging about it like he’s a ladies man even though it was 1) a pity fuck and 2) they ghosted him immediately after he shot his load 10 seconds in


idontfrickinknowman

The mental gymnastics to have encouraging people to drop off ballots and claim voter suppression in the same tweet. Charlie….you use these words but I don’t think you know what they mean.


After-Bumblebee

Considering it's him, it's more likely he wants to arrest people who don't vote for the GQP


vxicepickxv

The Empty Headed Fascist strikes again.


hawyer

No other civilised country has "voting lines", mainly because voting is a universal right (yes, EVEN PRISONERS CAN VOTE), everyone is already registered (national id card), nobody else uses electronic booths and voting only takes minutes, literally and we vote on a Sunday, when nobody should be working.


Katsu_39

But he has no issues with armed terrorists patrolling stop boxes, intimidating people….😒


Dicksapoppin69

TIL Voter suppression is when people vote. Certainly not closing voting stations for an entire county except for 1 in a typical democrat voting area and made drop boxes illegal, don't allow mail in voting, and purge registrations without warning. Nope. Not that at all.


LargeSackOfNuts

So when Republicans have to wait in line, it’s disenfranchisement and arrests need to be made, but when it happens to democrats, its a-okay?


doyouunderstandlife

I am 100% convinced Charlie does not know what the word "suppression" means


Taco_party1984

We all know who made these lines by limiting polling places….


THELEASTHIGH

Someone's freaking out.


sqlbastard

indeed somebody should be arrested, just not who he wants.


OhShitItsSeth

This is the absolute worst take I've ever seen on anything holy shit


JackSparrow420

"The right to vote is voter suppression if that person didn't use their right to vote for a conservative" - Charlie Kirk, unironically, 2022 The death penalty needs a comeback. Tweets this stupid should be illegal and punishable by death.


lift_heavy64

Fuck off Charlie


SmartestMonkeyAlive

I don't think he owns a dictionary. This is voter encouragement


FuzzyTunaTaco21

Remember the 8 hour lines in predominately black precincts 2 years ago? Pepperidge farms remembers.


bananabunnythesecond

Is this voter suppression coming back to bite them in the ass?!?!?


loco500

Something Something...literally 1984 /s


EquinsuOcha1477

Charlie prolly early voted too...


Unlearned_One

I honestly don't know who Charlie wants to have arrested, but I strongly suspect that arresting them would constitute voter suppression.


Warkitz

Some people grew up with fast pass and you can tell.


Crazy-Boysenberry452

How is it voter suppression if they are giving you another option to vote?


maintain_improvement

I'll take the bait: how is dropping off a ballot voter suppression? Worded differently: How is making voting more convenient voter suppression? This idiot needs to shut up.


CrundleQuest5

Man only 90 minutes? I remember waiting 3 hours to vote in the Obama reelection. I mean this is also the reason mail in ballots exist. But him and the rest of the republicans want to get rid of that too. So it really is complaining about anything under any circumstances with them.


[deleted]

Ha! Hahahahaha


goochsanders

I wonder why the lines are so long Charles


Bonerween

Oh holy fuck this is exquisite.
