Govt & Election Reform Mega Thread

"making the elections more secure" by making it harder to vote and thus reducing voter turnout?
It will not be hard to vote after any of those laws take effect.  If there is less voter turnout, that would be a problem to blame on those that don’t turn out.  The whole notion that it will be “harder” to vote is dumb.  

 
How many times do we need to see this same song and dance play out before we just admit these guys prefer authoritarianism to democracy?

FFS they're talking about passing a similar bill using a mechanism that can avert the governor's veto here in Michigan. We finally move somewhere cool that came in clutch to do the right thing in November and the GOP is already trying to ruin it for me.

The Nebraska GOP did the same thing after '08 to ensure Obama wouldn't pull Omaha's 1 EV again. Luckily Omaha and Lincoln rebelled again last year. 

But hey, at least you guys get to look forward to Senator Ricketts and Governor Fischer next year.  :flush


 
It will be interesting to see how this plays over the next 5-10 years. Either the GOP takes the country down with them and presides over the ashes, or they bite the dust.

 
What is the purpose of the law?
I haven’t read the bill yet (and I’m curious as to how many that commentate on the bill here have read it) because it doesn’t pertain to me, but the parts I’ve heard about are tightening up ballot drop boxes, ensuring no electioneering while “in line” to vote.  Beyond that, tell me what’s in it, tell me why it will be hard to vote now, and I will commentate my thoughts.  

 
People need to employ Occam's razor more often.

Georgia goes Democrat for the first time in ages. Their state level Republican leaders make a bunch of changes to voting laws, including giving more power to themselves to pick members of the election board. What the f#&% do you think the purpose is? If you think it's because of voter fraud, I question your # of brain folds.

Republicans need to stop being scared of the perpetual supposed impending socialist takeover of this country and look at what's happening right in front of their eyes.
