“You shouldn’t have mail in voting, because we can’t hack mail. So ….get rid of it”
I hate this cuntery.
What a fucking demented weakling.
Postal voting isn't a secret ballot so there is concern wherever people aren't entitled to a private residence of their own. However the accessibility and the presence of paper ballots for recounts (which reduces conflict and increases trust) is such a larger social insurance.
Its obvious why free countries embrace mail in ballots especially in a heavily rural country like the US.
Secret ballots are really important. There should be an effort into making in person voting more accessible and ending postal voting imo. Not american though, but i know my country historically had a very big problem of people being coerced to vote for certain candidates. The vote now is secret, spreaded all around the country and public transportation is free on voting days, which are on weekends.
Why aren't there anymore protest in the US? Were the Kings Day protests really the only thing we are going to get? Those obviously never were going to do jack ahit. Is the general population actually ok with what's happening? It's hard to get a good reading on the general vibe over there from far away. I just can't phantom why DC is not being overrun with protesters right now.
I think there are protests but coverage and communication is limited. Probably because a lot of news and platforms are owned by shitty, rich, people.
Ah yes, Putin. A man of who strongly believes in democracy. He won with 88% of the vote in his last election. His opponents are so shaken by his leadership that they keep looking themselves.
If republicans living in the 80's could see what they would become, their minds would shatter.
Those two agree on it. How much more proof it's the easiest way to cheat does one need?
I don't think it's fair to criticize Putin for this, it's consistent with his stance on other forms of voting.
Yeah, Putin is definitely the person Trump should be taking advice from about mail-in election ballots. 🙄
Well then he can fuck off to Russia
I miss the days when politicians and presidents at least tried to hide their corruption and shady dealings.
Well, you and he can go suck each other off in some undemocratic hell hole and leave the rest of us alone. You are the criminals, after all. Get this, the murderer and rapist think things!
And what do the people want?
Political figures have forgotten that they are supposed to represent all of their constituents.
Oh, I'm sure that motherfucking PUTIN agrees with Taco on that. How can you scare and intimidate voters if they are able to safely vote from home?
Remember when USAians were terrified of the Russians.
Good for him, I'm glad he has such a supportive daddy.

We don' care. Show us the Epstein files. We know you wont because you know what you have done. All these women are not lying. I doubt any of them are.
As an overseas voter who lives in hell trying to save for retirement because of asinine IRS laws (can't use Japan's advantaged retirement accounts because basically everything is a PFIC, most brokerages won't touch americans, etc.), you'd best bet I'm using my rights. Fuck you and release the Epstein files, you and all your enabling republican administration.
Weakling asks for permission.
