    It’s insane that in the worlds largest and most powerful democracy, you need to complete a manual process to be able to vote in an election

      They make it as difficult as possible for anyone not in the male-rich-white categories, it’s intentional. Last election in 100F Georgia they declared handing out water to people in line was political influence and illegal.

      If the right wing is trying to take away your vote, you know they’re scared of you voting.

        Meanwhile, I get a voter card in the mail automatically when I am eligable to vote in in an election, if I want to prevote or vote by mail I can do that, and if i want to change my prevote or mail vote, I can go to the polling office on election day and vote again.

        This will mean that my pre/mail vote will be discarded and destroyed unopened when it is noted that I have voted on election day.

      That is by design so the “right” people vote. Which coincides with the right trying to make it harder to vote.
