Texas Cancels 1 Million Voter Registrations - Voter Purge or List Maintenance?
Переглядів 82 тис.День тому
This week, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced that the state has canceled over 1 million voter registrations since voter suppression law SB 1 was signed in September of 2021.

    Were we prepared for such lawsuits? I mean, we were already being told Trump had plants in Countt election boards who would refuse to certify unless a Trump win takes place. I have asked numerous ppl how Secretaries of State in each state vet their county board members. I couldn't get a satisfactory answer. What needs to take place in order for Democrats to stay AHEAD of all the cheating being done? FBI? Or the FEC asking for certifications from Secs of State across the country have the resources to vet the counties?

    Here in the Netherlands every citizen who is eligible to vote automatically receives their ballot in the mail. There is no need at all for any additional registration. Every Dutch citizen above a certain age is allowed to vote and will automatically receive a ballot. Even people who are in prison have the right to vote. With the ballot comes a form that people can use to authorize a single family member, husband or wife, or a care taker to cast their vote for them, and more recently people can also send their ballot back by mail. All people have to identify themselves when they go vote at the ballot box. Here in the Netherlands all citizens are obligated to have an ID to begin with.

    How are they going to send out mail in ballots, to immigrants coming across the border, who don't have addresses? I think sending the ballots Is a good thing. It helps voters to clear up any discrepancies that may prevent them from voting well before the election date. Instead of going to the voting place only to find out that they are not eligible on voting day.
