    Make it easier to vote and more people vote. Imagine that.

    I KNOW Haley is only offering the Trump pardon to woo voters who are only supporting him because they want to "protect" him - but it really comes off as desperate.

    So have Oregon and Colorado and a few other states. It goes off without a hitch.

    One more reason to vote Democratic.

    That's also the point of VBM and early voting. Guess what, it works.

    Haley already had stated that she'd pardon him.

    She's trying to walk a 3,000-mile tightrope.

    Yeah, it's so easy people in minority neighborhoods hang around for hours just waiting for their opportunity!

    Why don't you want people to vote? Because given the opportunity, a majority don't vote Republican?

    In-person voting
    Mail voting
    Online voting

    We can do it all, we should do it all.

    And yes there are ways to do it with adequate security.

    Again, make it federal holiday. Or keep it the same without that.

    Do you think it’s actually hard to mail in absentee ballot? It is not.

    More likely what we’re talking about is, poverty does indeed create barriers to things that aren’t that hard to do - like vote - and we have a heart to change those voting circumstances.

    we’d be better off addressing poverty.

    i’m not sure what I’m supposed to write when someone cites bad weather on voting day. To me that’s an extension of a voting day.

    I received an absentee voter request form from DeSantis' office in Tallahassee two months before election day in 2020.

    Of course, I was living in North Carolina at the time, but what the hey. Easy voting!

    Well, we should certainly do that too. But it doesn't seem very high on the priority list for Team MAGA, which generally doesn't want to pay no taxes for nuthin. Or to impose any evul guvvmint regulations on businessmen.
