The forces desiring to enable vote fraud to the max never sleep.
I supposed this is Cruz’s fault too.
Anyone whose vote is threatened can simply pretend to be an illegal alien and he/she will be ushered to the front of the line.
Problem solved.
Here comes the whining and rationalizations.
There is only one thing wrong with the article, that I disagree with, but overall pretty good read.
The one thing is it is not disenfranchisement. The rules, and laws were passed long before the election was held, there was plenty of time for people to follow the guidelines of the law, and be able to vote.
Disenfranchisement, would be the unlawful action of denying the right to vote based on specific criteria like, Age, Gender, Race, ethnicity, and political party.
The Nation?
193 days before the election necessary to change registration? Unreasonably burdensome. PA deadline is a month before primary.
So some people totally disinterested in and uninformed about the process of electing a political party nominee don’t get to vote? People registered to another party don’t get to sabotage a different party without a 6-month time lead? It’s not enough to attend a rah-rah rally to get to participate? And the problem is ...?
Wow... starting to see a proliferation of proggie “news” sites linked here in FR. The “Nation” is as leftist as you can get.
It is not a problem. It is a security feature.
The writer's attitude is a problem.
So get involved in one of the existing parties or start your own.
This article says the Trump children are independents, I have also read that they are Democrats. Which is it? Anyone know for sure?
I am a NYer (upstate) and I like our closed primary. No late registering means no shenanigans. Happy, happy, happy.
It’s really the only way to slow down the democrats in NY. Hell, dead ones still vote in NY. So have to slow the cheaters down somehow....
It sucks to be a LIV.
Liberals and the Media (but I repeat myself) are lobbying for the direct election of the President, including every step along the way: primaries, conventions, etc. If you wonder why, don’t bother. Doing so is to their advantage and they want the American people to blindly follow their lead into the voting booth and elect more corrupt free stuff politicians who will then have plenty of power and no accountability.
I don’t see how requiring them to be registered before the election, or not being able to vote early keeps them from voting. It makes it a bit more difficult for dems to truck the nursing home people and the insane from the hospitals, due to the time constraints, however.
It’s strange that both same day registration and no early voting are both bad. Kinda hard to combine the two.
Unaffiliated voters should not be voting in party primaries, unless willing to declare for that party. Nobody’s been disenfranchised; they simply made a choice without considering all the ramifications.
I think New York is right to abolish early voting.
Too many people do it and then change their minds. I see nothing wrong with the system they’ve established; it didn’t disenfranchise anyone who was interested in voting.
If it disenfranchised the stupid... well that’s a good thing.
I’m hoping Trump over-polled as usual and won’t do as well as he expects.
