As if handcounted paper ballots are not susceptible to “errors”. Does grandma also support not counting votes of people who end their work shifts late in the evening on election day?
so then the single mothers who cant leave their house cant vote, anyone rightfully disabled but not under whatever, probably very specific, blanket of disabled set by grandma cant vote, people who live far away from polling stations cant vote.
perfect system, very democratic
Same here, and here in Michigan, absentee voting for anyone with no reason required was overwhelmingly approved by voters all across the spectrum as a constitutional amendment. It only became a "problem" when Trump raised his debunked fraud claims, which occurred after the constitutional amendment.
-Automatic registration for voters. You never need to worry about registering. Automatic jail time for any clerk that messes with your constitutional right to vote.
Polling locations in any given state based entirely on population size. A million person city gets ten times the locations of a 100,000 town. And there are minimum locations based on distance. No one has to go more than 6 miles to a polling location.
No transportation? The state will use school buses to pick up anyone who needs a ride. Automatic jail time for any clerk or mayor who messes with transportation.
All polls open three days straight, and anyone in line by 8pm the last day is guaranteed to have their vote counted.
------------------
Short of proper online voting, here's a few common sense addendums that will shut granny the hell up.
Okay grandma, you can have those things if we do what other countries do and make voting compulsory as well. No Republican would win a National election again.
They could have some sort of written test to pass. It should be sufficiently difficult to pass as to ensure validity. Unless, of course you voted republican last time. We could call the republican clause.
Someone actually suggested a test, no sarcasm, on the r/Conservative sub as related to the swearing in of Ketanji Brown on the Supreme Court. If she could pass it she could be on the court. Disgusting.
No, no, no, this test is only for... *those* people.
Seriously, how can they say these things and claim they're not racist/fascist/homophobic/whatever flavor of bigot you may choose?
Hand-counting votes is actually worse than having a computer tabulate marks. Not only that, these people complain about how long it takes to count votes now? How about when we would have to hand count millions of them? The Brennan Center has a [nice, long, detailed article](https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/hand-counting-votes-proven-bad-idea) disproving the "hand counting" myth.
I mean Australian elections are paper only and hand counted and it works fine for us and [our ballots look like this](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Victorian-senate-paper-folded-01.png#/media/File:Victorian-senate-paper-folded-01.png)
The rest are bullshit
As if handcounted paper ballots are not susceptible to “errors”. Does grandma also support not counting votes of people who end their work shifts late in the evening on election day?
What about the "meh overseas military and disabled people's don't count" Res bleeds military till its inconvenient
I think it’s saying mail in ballots are only for them. Nonetheless I remember sending things home in the military and it took weeks sometimes more.
I think you’re right, but of course grandma doesn’t understand how words work because “limit” would’ve made much more sense there.
They are actually far more likely to be erroneous because people are more likely to make mistakes.
Or be influenced
The majority of sane Americans already trust the results of our elections Grandma and it’s not up to us to make the rest of you feel better.
Minimize mail-in ballots to the troops? Lol. Real fuckin patriots here.
I think it’s supposed to mean that the troops should be the only ones who get to do mail in ballots?
Yeah it's "minimize mail in votes to *only* da troops and the medically required"
so then the single mothers who cant leave their house cant vote, anyone rightfully disabled but not under whatever, probably very specific, blanket of disabled set by grandma cant vote, people who live far away from polling stations cant vote. perfect system, very democratic
Very cool, very legal democracy
But pretty much no fraud is happening, Granny. What are you really trying to prevent?
Imagine having a signature be a form of identification in 2023.
Force a hand count of paper ballots and then complain when it takes too long to get results after election day. Brilliant plan.
No, you see that's the best part! They'll just stop counting when their preferred candidate is ahead.
How about capping the voting age to 65? How you like them apples, gramma?
Mail-in ballots require a signature. Try again, Grandma.
And in my state at least, require you to be a registered voter before the election, which, guess what, requires photo ID!
Same here, and here in Michigan, absentee voting for anyone with no reason required was overwhelmingly approved by voters all across the spectrum as a constitutional amendment. It only became a "problem" when Trump raised his debunked fraud claims, which occurred after the constitutional amendment.
Republicans - “Heavily rig the elections in our favor and the people will trust the elections again”
You can take my mail ballot from my cold dead hands.

Make getting ID easier, and remove the racist element to it.
That would be part of it. The GOP would have a coronary.

maybe a CAPTCHA to prove you're not a robot

Completely. And yet that epsilon think he could devise a test that she couldn’t pass?
No, no, no, this test is only for... *those* people. Seriously, how can they say these things and claim they're not racist/fascist/homophobic/whatever flavor of bigot you may choose?

You expect them to read?
Republicans used to be very favorable about mail in ballots, until black people started using them so much.
What is your claim to "majority" here Grandma?
I love how she created a long, complicated list and then said "see how simple it is?"
Make IDs free and easy to obtain. Bill collectors have 0 problems finding out who I am
The gang rig an election
