We are a week away from the midterms, have you voted? If so did you vote by mail or early voting?
I'm an outsider. But this is America and their America. Vote for the right and common sense person. This has been discussed under various threads in the forum. God save America!
I haven't yet, but you can bet that I will as if my life depended upon it. I go to the polls in person, so there can be no screw ups or errors in regards to my casting my vote.
Hey, I knew you would vote in person. I must admit, in person is really the way to go. I have been voting for so long mail in, I just decided to vote early by mail. We need to vote no matter what. Votes count, and voices need to be heard now more than ever.
Like Credence, I prefer to vote in person and feed the ballot into the counting machine myself. Also like Credence, I WILL vote, even though I live in a state so red it will make no difference if I do or not.
I see your point. But, we can't ever become complacent. The majority needs to be heard in every state, and we need to respect the majority state-wide, in my view.
As far as I am concerned, I have a responsibility, a duty, to cast a vote in our elections. I will do so.
I am with Wilderness on this one, I have a duty to do my bit for God and Country. As they say, if you don't vote, you can't complain.....
But what I don't understand is that Republicans are in a tizzie about mail in and early voting. A couple of you already have said that is how you cast your ballot, so what is the big deal?
Hey, I am for mail-in, I have done it for some yeees now, and it is very convenient. And I agree, if one does not vote, and sits it out, they have no room to complain.
Early voting - no problem.
Mail in - I don't know what security is being used, watch as Democrats insist every year that NO security is needed, and am concerned about fraud.
(mail in as in indiscriminate sending of ballots to everyone, not just to those that ask for it.)
The problem, Wilderness, is that what prompts all the need for 'security" now? Was it just because Trump lost two years ago? We did not seem to make an issue of any of this before that, wasn't there this same risk of fraud prior to 2020?
Why is the lack of this so called lack of 'security' associated with an advantage for Democrats?
What makes you think it is only "now"? Dems have screamed for decades about gerrymandering (and still are), the Mob once controlled the ballot boxes and every year we find a few illegal ballots without even trying. We KNOW there was illegal activity, particularly in the mass mail in ballots, in several states.
Dems have screamed about the need for ID for years and years - it is certainly nothing new that whenever it is proposed Democrats all cry that it is not necessary to know who is casting that vote. They whine about anything that they can turn into "voter suppression" whether it is or not, and have done so for years.
Perhaps it is associated with an advantage for Democrats because it is Democrats that do not want any security. Why else would that be, unless the cheating is to their advantage? Certainly if lack of security benefitted Republicans we wouldn't see Democrats denying security was needed!
I'm thinking about a little mischief. I vote in person. I thinking about getting in the voting line multiple times. I will only vote once, and subsequent trips will end at the registration table, but think about the optics.
I'm thinking about potential 'poll watchers' reporting my multiple times through the voting line. Might be fun. Plus, if they're handing out water and snacks outside I might get a free lunch.

Well, I think that sounds like a plan. I have one worry, a "what if". So what if they let you vote as many times as you present yourself until you get tired?
To take it one step further, what if you report your multiple voting fun to the media, and they just ignore it? And you end up on Tucker and share your truth. Then within days, you have a bunch of crazies picketing your home for daring to say you voted more than once.
On the second hand, I think you should just vote once. I won't have the energy to defend you and your truth here on HP's.
Stick with the free lunch.
Yeah, multiple votes might be a step too far. ;-)

On Friday, October 18, 2024, at 8:30 pm PDT I completed my California mail-in ballot. California is 1 of 8 states + DC that is an all-mail ballot state. Perhaps oddly all but one of the states, Vermont, + DC are in the west. All of them represent 19% of the voting-eligible population.Next, I sealed...

I voted last Saturday, Florida's first day of early voting. It ends tomorrow at 7. Our Republican governor cut our early voting days in half this year, and said no to a request from Florida Democrats to extend early voting one more day. As it looks now, nearly 3.5 million have...

Reports from Georgia and Texas reveal people waiting in line to vote for up to 8 hours. This should simply not occur in our country. It is flat-out voter suppression and intimidation to make somebody wait 8 hours to vote.Where I live, I received my ballot in the mail. I filled it out the same day....
