Not sure why one can't vote at home from the internet.


Not every one has access to the internet. You'd be leaving a lot of people disenfranchised.

No worries, people could still attend on the day.
Voting from a cafe, from your living room, or when soaking in the bath...would have great appeal

I don't trust my internet provider with this.  A private company, actually a foreign company ... I think Altice is their name.   Nah.  Not for me.

Win back the airwaves in the talk market. It had more right about identifying the problem than arriving at a solution.

Yeah.  The market for DEMS isn't on the radio dial anymore.

That was really a gracious and reflective speech that bordered on delusion and paranoia as it trashed our election process and our democracy.

This tratorous motherfucker can't leave soon enough.

As an option.
To complement, not replace mail-in or in-person voting.

Easier access and more methods = more people voting.
Added benefit = faster counting for such internet votes.

WI has same day registration So you live in WI and want to vote on Election Day, you can -- as long as you bring whatever ID and proof of address required.

Surprised the previous GOP Gov didn't kill that off.
More states should allow same day registration.

DEMS should push for Election Day holiday; more mail-in ballotry; same day registration; automatic registration of in-state 18 year olds; internet voting.
Increase the franchise!
Hell, I'd have a $100 penalty on income tax if you didn't vote (or could be an additional $1000 of income is non-taxable if you did vote).

You'd hope dead people and pets haven't "voted".
Are all the ballot papers valid?
Are all the ballot papers posted in legal?   proper ballot papers issued by the govt electoral office?
Is anyone checking?
Checking the ballot papers to the electoral roll, or is anything just being put on the "Biden" pile?

This post is promoting paranoia and doubt.

We do in bambuland, the fine for not voting was $50 last election I believe, think you get it in the mail like a traffic fine.
Don't pay the fine, they cancel your driver licence!
Hardly democracy and free choice.
More like "Nazi Germany".
