          There are actual checks and balance to ensure you’re a citizen and you vote at most once

            Where I live you just get a letter some weeks before the election. With that letter you can vote at the place that is named in the letter (or anywhere in the same city). If you lose the letter you can still vote with your id-card, but only at the place that was named in the letter.

            Easy, isn’t it?

            It make sense if it were like the TSA to be honest, bring everything you need to vote or preregister for a faster experience. Would also help if was voting month(s) instead of day so people could comfortably vote.

        That’s really dumb. Here in Utah, you sign up online, and you can get a mail ballot online too. I have never actually voted in person, I just fill out my ballot and drop it in one of the collection bins a few days before the election. We can even track our ballot to ensure it gets processed.

        Why overcomplicate it? I don’t need to take time off to vote, and I can take my time researching the candidates. Voting should be easy.

        I wish it was possible to vote strongly enough for gerrymandering to be irrelevant.

        Another 51% win for Biden will certainly trigger another violent inssurection attempt and another 4 years of inaction.

        The best outcome would be a landslide victory if only to show the republican voters that their ideas are not supported by the general public.

            it would take so little for Biden to rake in the votes but the Democrats in general seem to be doing everything they can to embarrass themselves even worse than 2016 …
