No. This is just another in a long line of excuses not to work. Employees can vote before and after work. During their lunch break. Two weeks before during early voting or mail in.
Employees don’t put in a full 8 hours as it is. It’s time to start docking employees for taking selfies and posting their Starbucks’ flavor of the day.
“In some places, like California, you can also vote absentee, just for asking.”
We now vote by mail or drop off at a voter collection spot.
They decreased the # of voting places, and that caused traffic jams, parking problems and lines to vote @ the
remaining sites.
So, now we vote by mail or drive through ballot drop off sites.
Most polls are open from 7 am to 8 pm. If you can’t find the time vote during those hours, you’re probably not too interested in voting.
requiring people to go to the polls to vote is discriminatory towards the poor and racist towards somebody out there. It takes money to buy gas to drive to the polling place and that is discriminatory, and the polling place requires all that ID stuff and all that is really discriminatory. And wemen have to get their hair done and buy new shoes to be seen in public and all that costs money especially if they have to get a manicure, so that’s discriminatory, too. Well, it probably isn’t, but somebody thinks it is, so it is! Mail-in ballots are available for every election and they come in the mail for free. Mail=in ballots are non-discriminatory. You can even fill them out barefoot in your pajama-boy pj’s. All that’s required is the ability to make a mark and lick a stamp. Even a snowflake can do that. Send everyone mail-in ballots. Save the Planet or something.

Today I always use early voting as it is convenient and easy. Back in the seventies I did not have this luxury. I voted for Ronald Reagan in the middle of the North Sea. I told the registrar of voters where to mail my ballot to the helicopter base that serviced my drilling rig. The ballot arrived and I filled it out(for Ronald Regan and all Republicans) and then put Norwegian Stamps on the ballot and put it in the rig mail box. I voted!
Voting is easy. Voting on election day is fraught with fraud if that is the day you register to vote.
Perez is a Marxist which explains why he wants someone else to pay for people to go vote instead of doing it on their own dime as their citizenship right duty.
If they are too lazy to vote, screw them.
And the congressman is a putz too. Both are political leaches on the body politique.
Just curious:
Are there tax write-offs for expenses when voting? Mileage, per diem etc...
I’ve never considered it, but there might be, and I have never met a tax deduction I didn’t like.
And employers should also give bus rides to all their employees and drop them off at the “special democrat” door...
If they want to give a paid day off, give it to the veterans in this country who have to work on Veterans Day, not the govt. workers....
Change Election Day to a weekend.
Or make it a consistent 24 hours nationwide. So the polls open and close at the same “time.”
“If voting is not important enough for a person to find a way to do it, they shouldn’t be voting.”
Exactly.
“I’ll go to work,get off work and vote,On Nov. 6.”
We’ll vote on 10/17, the first day of early voting in TN. We’ve read about one of the new methods of Rat cheating, i.e., stealing a GOP voter’s identity and voting early. Then when the real voter goes to the precinct on election day they’re told they already voted and aren’t given a ballot.
“If you really have that little time get an absentee ballot.”
I am OK with early voting, but worry about whether or not Absentee Ballots are counted all the time. There have been stories where they are set aside and not counted, especially where there’s a likelihood that many are military (usually) conservative ballots in that precinct or district.
No. There are absentee ballots for those who will be out of town.
That’s because they want the union pressure of busing the employees to vote — while leaning on them to vote the right way. I believe that is very much done in Nevada, including with illegals working in the big hotels and casinos.
Tom wants to be able to mine no-show voters at the polls. The democrats already get a large number of phantom and imposter voters from votes cast by shops where ballots are completed and mailed on behalf of long dead and never existed Americans. But there are still so many registered who they haven’t changed the address for yet to add them to vote-shop workload.
Not too bad, but don’t forget to add in super-permanent purple finger ink.
Eliminate ALL absentee/early voting, the only exception being military.
“Voting should be on the Saturday just before April 15.“
Yes, indeed.
No. Polls are open long enough to accommodate workers. Most employers would accommodate late in, long lunch, or early out to vote. Voting is a duty, not a benefit.
That cannot be consecutive hours. That’s 5 days and 10 hours!
Who could they get to staff the polls for that long?
