My husband and I live in the Netherlands and just voted absentee in Pennsylvania, our home state where we were both born. Our identity was rigourously checked in our applications. We got the emails that say our ballots were received successfully. But they did make us ask twice before they sent us our ballots.
I hope you like it over here... greetings from the Netherlands (Delfzijl, Groningen) 💙✌️
@@kassistwisted Thank you for making the effort. I voted yesterday from Germany. But as my residence referent is a blue district in a blue state it won't matter for the result..still it matters to me
THANK YOU !! PA for Harris!
Thank you!!!!
FU, Trump! I'm an overseas American who voted absentee in September! Kamala and Tim all the way!
All of you on the Democracy Docket team are the truest patriots this country has.
SELECTED NOT ELECTED NOMINEE HARRIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF DEMOCRACY. joeg supports assassin's.
This Election, everyone who votes Blue ballot down is a patriot! Democracy Docket staff are patriots and heroes!!! (Disabled U.S. Navy veteran)
Get rid of the electoral college and have a federal electoral role. ALL these lawsuits disappear. Simples 🤪.
Exactly, everyone's vote should count the same, period. That's equality.
No, they'd still try and disenfranchise overseas civilian and military voters. It would be a massive bloc of target voters spread across all the country (in terms of home precincts). In fact, maybe one of the few targetable groups (although I expect they'd still find ways of voter discouragement in heavily Democratic areas). Remember the EC is only relevant for Presidential elections...there's all that political control of Congress, Statehouses, Governors, State Courts, County Sheriff's and municipal offices like Commissioners, School boards, etc.
To eliminate the electoral college requires a Constitutional Amendment : :2/3 vote in each chamber and ratification of. 75% the states. Not very simple :
@@gcro9206texanforever don’t get me started on the constitution 😁😂
Ex-pat in Europe here. Thanks for having our back❤
Never in my lifetime seen so much desperation to cheat. Thank you ALL for your hard-work.
This really pisses me off.
Overseas citizens have to have passports, they have to be registered in their home state (usually where they grew up or last voted). And to get our ballots electronically they have to provide a passport number, a driver's license or state ID, and an electronic signature.
Because of delays in the mails in my overseas residence I actually was unable to get my 2024 midterm ballot in time.
California doesn't allow an internet ballot to be submitted and no one has a fax system anymore.
So I actually flew to another the city in another country with the nearest US embassy (Singapore) to vote on the very first day they allowed voting. They will then send my ballot to Wash. D.C. and then put it in the public mail to get to my county election office.
They warn voters that it could take up to four weeks to get the ballot from Embassy to the Tabulation site. Thanks Ken De Joy!
And just to get into the US Embassy I have to show my passport...the top form of proof of citizenship one can have.
This is insanely difficult. I've heard some States are requiring a notarized ballot. They say that the STATE notaries are not supposed to charge for this (as it would be an Unconstitutional poll tax)...but out of State and out-of-country voters will have notaries that DO CHARGE.
Does Trump really think that overseas citizens are going through all this hassle to cheat?
This is just simply an effort to disenfranchise Americans abroad...we pay taxes to the US, serve in the armed forces or diplomatic service, are doing NGO or missionary work, serve in the Peace Corps, or are doing business bringing American products abroad or desirable and necessary products back to the States.
Now the MAGA are making us second class citizens? This has now become an election to defend our right as citizens to vote.
According to maga Republicans anyone who is not a maga Republican is a second-class citizen.
As an Australian I am glad that there are over 50,000 American troops based in Australia because we only have a population of around 27 million and are the 6th largest country so we need all the help we can get to defend our country.
I owe my very existence to all the brave American soldiers who sacrificed their lives protecting Australia so I must do everything possible to help protect the USA from its enemies both foreign and domestic.
Donald Trump, his Republican politicians and supporters are the biggest threat to the USA since the civil war and anyone who threatens the USA is also threatening Australia.
What pisses me off is the fact that to become a citizen of another country, you need to pay $2,000 to the US government. Also, our men and women in uniform are fighting for part of a country/politicians that believe they cannot vote. Evidently you can die or kill for your country at 18, but cannot drink. I remember a time when you couldn’t vote in the military because you had to be 21. Make it make sense, US.
🇺🇸💙
You are an incredibly conscientious voter! It shouldn't be this difficult. Thank you for putting in the effort.
Delay. Delay. Delay. That's all they do. Geez the GOP sucks.
🌎💙🇺🇸
Thank you for the work you all do to protect our country.
From what? Democracy. The party that needs assassins to win . The party that founded the KKK in 1865 isNT protecting YOU.
Military voters need to send lawsuits back to GOP...Lawsuit suing for voter rights interference and mental anguish..
Where are the litigators and lawyers who will do this for free???
Thank you all soooo much 🌹 for helping to PROTECT OUR DEMOCRACY! 🗳️💙🇺🇸 🎖️
Thank you to the democracy docket team. I really appreciate the job you all do. Godbless you all 🇺🇸
Look, I'm an American Citizen, US passport holder, file my US taxes every year from abroad, currently live in Canada. I go through a rigorous registration process which is tied in with my last US address, include the Oath of Voter form with my mail-in ballot. I don't think these people understand what we have to go through to vote from abroad but I do it because I care. They, on the other hand, are just trying to find ways, as usual, of disqualifying legitimate voters to tilt the table. Shameful!
No taxation without representation! Why am I paying taxes abroad if I cannot vote? These people idiots and dangerous.
Very.
Vote blue 💙
Absolutely. Why is this not a no brainer? Oh, that's why.
Thankyou for all your good work!
What happen to the 90 day law by Congress to not change the rules of the election?😡🤬
They are not following it in a lot of instances. All these people do is lie and cheat.
America has the most robust and transparent electoral system in the world!
They know but it doesn't suit them, so they ignore the law and try anything and everything and see what the other side does.
MAGA likes cheating and then turns around and calls you the cheater ???
Why can't the freaking Republicans just vote. Just vote.
Because they don't have the numbers and they like minority rule!
Because there are fewer Republicans than Democrats. They rarely win on the facts. If you research the elections the Rethugligans have won the WH, there has been a great deal of underhanded maneuvering in the background.
They have no policy or platform other than to stop people from voting.
For crying out loud, denying service members their constitutional right to vote? WTF is going on in this country? As a veteran, this really pisses me off. We got to end all this individual state election rules chaos with a UNIFORM SET OF FEDERAL election rules. If a state wants to send representatives to D.C., they should have to elect them by federal rules because this affects all of us regardless of which state you live in.
I don't know why anyone in the military follows him. He screws them evey chance he gets.
Because they are like minded and after leaving the military join a racist group to fully express themselves.
Imagine trying to disenfranchise military voters.
Done on purpose because a lot of military are not happy with Rump and all the disgraceful things he has said about them. Include that Mark Milley says he is a threat to democracy. So Rump has his minions try to take their "no go to hell" votes away.
As long as Americans who live overseas have to pay taxes in the US, they should have the right to vote in the US!
Currently, there are over 50,000 U.S. military personnel in Australia.
They are preparing for China to attack Taiwan and have been increasing the amount and size of American Air Force bases in Australia.
100% WITH HARRIS AND WALZ AMERICA 🇺🇸
VOTE BLUE ALL 💙 UP AND DOWN THE BALLOT 💙 AMERICA 💙 🇺🇸
It was always about giving our overseas citizens a chance to vote especially servicemen and their families, but trump don’t want every legal vote against him .
EVERYBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO VOTE , IT'S THE AMERICAN WAY
I've asked this a thousand times on DD and here. Marc, are these lawyers, committees, sheriff's, governors, election officials and participants in this Election Interference going to be fined, sanctioned or inditited for ELECTION INTERFERENCE? Marc, can a lawyer answer my questions, please?
MAGA PARTY, REPUGS, the problem is with you not the Voters. You don't offer The People anything that We need or want. You are the problem not the Voters.
We are now Voting in Self Defense to protect our families, friends and foreign guests from tyrants and villains. Voting Blue top to bottom. - Florida Man
They tried this in Arizona a few years ago. That time they were focused on disenfranchising college students who are attending an out-of-state schools. Arizona residents, namely the parents of these college students were livid but the GOP run government simply said they weren't going to allow any more public comment on the matter and pushed it through anyway. The new legislation made it illegal to send the student's mail in ballot to an out-of-state address, and made it a serious crime for parents to forward their child's mail-in ballot to them . College students, like military, have always been considered visitors or, at best, temporary residents of whatever state they are in. They are still considered residents of their own state, and they are required to pay out-of-state tuition. If they could simply register as residents of the state where they attend college why would anyone pay out-of-state tuition?
Yes sir thank you Marc without you and your attorneys the US would probably fall to these traitors
A sign of Republican desperation.
Disgusting!!!! He tried in 2020 in GA too but was unsuccessful.
Thank you
Good morning from New Brunswick Canada ❤😊
Still stressing here. Feels like no matter how bad "he" looks or how hard we try and get the vote out he just keeps getting closer and closer in the polls.. I really need to start getting my passport started..
🙋 Thanks for your SUPPORT, Canada!!! That means a LOT ☺️💙💙💙🇺🇸
@@nickgarcia1292Yes, 😳 it totally doesn't make sense. 🤷
Beyond Republicans just losing these lawsuits, there should be some kind of punishment for preventing legal voters from casting ballots. If any individual attempts to vote illegally, there are stiff penalties including fines and jail time. The same should be true of those that prevent legal voters from casting legal ballots. They should face penalties including fines and jail time, per count.
Those idiots shooting in all directions hoping to hit something
Exactly.
I had to vote by absentee ballot due to multiple blood clots in my lungs. Not allowed to travel until weeks after the election. Ballot has to be notarized or witnessed by 2, ( their info included for verification),and Photo of NC DL or at least the DL # to also prove identity. Did not receive until last Friday due to NC having to reprint ballots to remove Kennedy! I am worried with post office as it is that NC receives it on time. Will be mailed Friday when I can get ride to Post office!
Maybe you could get a ride and turn ur ballot in, in person? 🤷🏻♀️
@@JulieeEliz"not allowed to travel".
Thank you for jumping through those hoops to vote. It's shameful.💙
Vote blue 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
Why does this not surprise anyone? Fascists gonna do what fascists gonna do.
The brazeness of the GOP witch hunt is incredible. The party of law and order 😂😂😂😂😂
So in challenging the votes from overseas, the GOP says state laws should have precedence; in other cases they argue that federal law is supreme. Typical.
I’ve been phone banking for Harris and feeling great about it. It’s one of those things everyone should do at least once, especially this year given the stakes and also especially for us in non-swing states to have more of a voice in the election 🇺🇸 let’s GOTV and STOP MAGA NOW!
The 5th circuit isn't ultra-conservative, it's radically Christian nationalist. Protecting voting rights is a conservative value!
This has to stop. We need to get busy after the election. Which we will win from just overwhelming participation. Voters from abroad tend to vote Democratic just from being exposed to a wider gamut of human experience. After we win, we need to get busy and rebuild and shore up democracy for the future.
Again an issue that could have been raised months ago if this was a good faith suit 💙💙💙
Thank you for representing the truth and for protecting us against this corruption the GOP is spewing.
So now they don't like state's rights?
Lawsuits should be filed against GOP for filing spurious lawsuits.
Then Mike Roger's should not of ran for anything he doesn't live here!
What there’s a Republicans running for senator in Mi. Doesn’t live there,the house still under construction
He could rent a place😅
Do not vote for someone who has never lived in your district for at least 10 years..they will never work FOR YOU..😮
We have McCormick who’s living in Connecticut but trying for a seat in Pennsylvania. I don’t want out of state people making decisions for me when they don’t live here.
I am an American living in Europe and was able to get my OH ballot emailed to me. The return address is a PO Box, which means I had no option but to send the completed ballot back through US mail. I half expected it would not get there at all but after about 3 weeks I did receive confirmation that my ballot was accepted and will be counted. I know of another expat in my area who will be returning to the US to vote since her last ballot never made it back. Two years ago, the ballot I requested by mail never made it to me. I think it is the US mail service that is at fault. All states should allow people to send their ballots back by email.
💙💙
Thank you Marc and democracy docket group for all you do!!
Fear tactics to keep billionaires from going to jail!
He keeps stepping on his own feet!
Oh no, this is planned to declare the election was stolen and send his MAGA supporters AGAIN into battle hoping it will lead into a civil war. That’s the plan.
Oooh they are so desperate. I hope they are stopped.
Thank you! Thank you!
How do we stop this madness? These people need to be stopped.
I'm voting for the party that DOESN'T need assassin's to win.
Considering that both assassination attempts were done by a Republican on a Republican candidate, who are you voting for??🤔
Don't want someone to vote from a VA building but don't have a problem voting from a church. How fair is that.
NEVER EVER THAT CORRUPT TRAITOR HARRIS.
They been voting absentee for years
She is smart and hot, a total package!
No I’d required , just require an email address and intent to move to the state when returning to the states.
Trump for Prison 2024 !!!!!
Suggestion: stop including any images of the orange dud. They are free clicks & oxygen we shouldn't give
Rise Humanity, rise.
Rise up from all of the lies.
Rise up to clarity, let go of old ideology.
Humanity is one big family!
What injures you injures me.
It is time that we become free,
and trust our own guide from within and begin;
to heal Humanity as a whole,
joining each other soul to soul.
Namaste.
