Did you know early in-person voting starts in September this year?

[888theGreat]

Early voting starts soon. My suggestion is vote in person, you know for sure your vote will be counted. I will be voting in person election day.

Trump could destroy or lose your mail in ballot using the Postal Service. Why take that chance? Beat Trump with his own game.

The only way to slow Trump down from destroying US is by voting Blue.

I am voting in person election day

I am voting in person before election day

I am going to risk losing my vote and mail in my ballot.

I am not voting this year

[Alex-Snow]

I'm definitely voting and it will be blue as I think it is time for a big change in the USA

[Alex-Snow]

Ty for the mho

[lightbulb27]

You know he did it so the Democrats couldn’t cheat because that’s what he was accusing them of so obviously he’s not worried about Republicans cheating so it’s good that it’s in person so it’s fair on both sides now and neither can accuse the other. I don’t usually vote for other elections usually I just vote on presidential ones

[goaded]

Trump is encouraging Republicans to cheat. Literally. Explicitly.

@goaded not sure how you can cheat if you’re actually going in person to vote, but he is almost bribing people to vote Republican since I know I’m not gonna get $5000 so I don’t know what’s up with that and I know it’s illegal what he is trying to do what notice how he said it indirectly

[goaded]

Well, there have been multiple people caught cheating, including Ken Paxton, Republican candidate for Senator for Texas. Strangely, they've almost all been Republicans and often justified it by saying they'd been told Democrats cheat.

Trump planned to misplace or not count Mail in ballots from areas where vote is 50% GOP and 50% DNC

[Likes2drive]

How could he Plan to do that when he has everybody showing up to vote and with ID?

[goaded]

Ten states only allow mail in voting, the vast majority of the rest allow no-excuse absentee voting. Tens of millions of Americans vote by mail, including Trump.

[Likes2drive]

@goaded well he’s pushing for in person with ID though

[goaded]

Yes, because more Democratic voters use mail-in voting than Republicans. It's voter suppression, which is a documented and significant problem with elections, far more than anything individuals can do.

[Likes2drive]

@goaded why would more democrats mail in ballots than republicans?

[goaded]

Why not?

[Likes2drive]

@goaded just strange to me that it would be more one party than the other doing it, does that mean democrats are too lazy to stand in line to go in person? Lol

[goaded]

Why don't you think they could be too busy?

Another Republican voter suppression tactic is to close polling places in areas they might lose so that the lines can take hours. Can you take hours or a whole day off work to vote?

"Commissioners in Tarrant County, a fast-growing and politically competitive area that includes Fort Worth, approved a plan that results in 92 fewer Election Day polling locations compared with the 2022 midterms. The roughly 30% reduction leaves the county with 224 polling sites to serve 1.3 million voters. Voters in the county are able to cast ballots at any of those polling sites."

@goaded I would think that would affect both parties voting, even if those states are more blue than red

[goaded]

Yes, but not equally. The trick is to reduce turnout where your opponents would get the most votes and not in the counties where you do.

"Kolin Kilpatrick, took the podium and criticized the proposal while citing the oath he took when he joined the military:

"The amount of registered voters in Tarrant County has increased 30 percent since the last midterms four years ago and to be closing polling locations is just a blatant act of voter suppression, especially doing so after racist gerrymandering and redistricting happened."

"You know, when I joined the United States Navy, I swore an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States of America from enemies, foreign and domestic. And when people try to take away our right to vote in America, they start looking like enemies domestic."

"Talking to you, Comrades.""
www.comicsands.com/veteran-rips-tarrant-polling-cuts

1.3 million divided between 224 polling places is nearly 6000 per polling place, rather than 4100 in the last midterms (3100, if he's right about 30% more registered voters).

@goaded I guess there’s always ways to manipulate it if they try hard enough

[goaded]

Trump's trying really, really hard. (Reminder: elections are up to the states, not the federal government.)

"The administration’s tactics include:

Casting doubt on election integrity via disinformation to justify nationalizing elections
Weaponizing the federal government by installing election deniers in key government positions
Gutting key agencies and essential election security programs
Weaponizing federal databases and demanding personal voter information from states to track or purge voters
Issuing unconstitutional executive orders to limit voting access
Pressuring Congress to pass legislation that would suppress eligible voters
Curtailing voting by mail
Preventing states from using voting equipment
Diluting voters’ power through a mid-decade gerrymandering crisis
Using the departments of Justice and Homeland Security to intimidate election administrators
Seizing election-related materials and voting equipment
Deploying the military to interfere with the election
Deploying federal agents to interfere with the election
Declaring a national emergency to take over or postpone elections
Interfering with issuance of state election certificates or pressuring the U. S. Senate or House of Representatives to block seating of duly elected members"

@goaded wait till AI takes over and see how bad things will get with that also, might be another tool that will be used to change things

[Anonymous]

It depends on your state. Trump has more plans for fraud to keep Democrats away though in person too.

[fishbone77]

If you really want to get Trump so he can't cheat, make sure everyone has to show ID at the polls.
