State's Rights to suppress the vote.

[gab13by13]

This statement pisses me off, that states have the right to decide how they vote. I heard Joe Manchin say that last night on Cuomo, and Cuomo agreed with him.

The problem with me is that it is just one party in the state that decides how to run elections. All of the states that are controlled by Republicans but vote state wide for Democrats are rigging the election for Republicans, like they are doing in my state, Pa.

If states want to change how voting is done then it should be done by a state wide referendum. The way that Pa. is gerrymandered the Republican party will never lose the majority control.

Sure, it says that states control their own elections, but it doesn't say that one party in that state can control how elections are run against the will of the majority in those states. If Republicans rig the rules to favor themselves then Democrats will never control the House.

This is the most serious problem that we are facing right now. There are hundreds of bills that are written up in states to suppress Democratic voting. I got my notice asking if I wanted to vote by mail again this year, I do want to vote by mail again, guess what, this year I have to provide my drivers license number. Some states are trying to eliminate mail in voting. This is serious stuff and it needs addressed now.

1. I voted by mail.....

Wrote down my Non Driver's ID number on the envelope.

To register the same day, a picture ID is required, bills with one's current address to show residency if ID is from out of state and has the receipt papers to show renewal, or have a person vouch as well.

I have been an Election Judge since 2006 and not ever did I witness someone who committed fraud. Voter rolls need to be updated surely in the case of death, moved from one's preceinct, etc. But removal of eligible voters, even if they missed a voting cycle due to illness, or forgot, is wrong.

2. I feel ya

"The way that Pa. is gerrymandered the Republican party will never lose the majority control."

As is the all-too-well known case here in WI as well. Maybe there are efforts to undo this but I don't see or hear about them and feel pretty powerless to impact any change. My state Rep is Dem and my state Senator is as well, and they feel the same way but are hamstrung by their evil counterparts and the f'ing state Supreme Court.

Individual state rules about voting are fucked up. One way across the entire country should be the rule but I know I am just pissing in the wind to hope for such a thing.

3. The way it's supposed to work is if you don't like something,

you vote them out. We’ve been doing that in new mexico, Nevada, Colorado, Arizona, Georgia, etc. we just have to keep doing this.
