I firmly believe that every thing the pub's are screeching about dems is pure projection.  Legit worried they are going to voter fraud their asses off...

Trump was flat out encouraging it in North Carolina

I just can’t imagine what 3rd world hell holes you guys must live in where voting in person is such a trying process. 

T&P’s to each one of you.

I mean how god damn stupid are we that we only voted on a single day for decades?

Walked out this week commenting the same thing.  Voter suppression is the only real answer.

Yup, why pubs been fighting against all these changes tooth and nail, though it really shouldn't matter, I never understood this idea that if you have the right to vote, trying to make it as hard as possible, yes from the idea of trying to silence the other side, but realistically opening voting to all helps both sides, and gets people engaged.

We do a lot of weird crap because "it's how we've always done it". I am just glad Joco does voting the way it should, I haven't voted on election day itself since the once year I lived on the MO side in 2012.  It's just so damn easy in KS

The history of Dem voter fraud is amazing.  You guys should try reading about it sometime.  Voter fraud led 3 Dem presidents to the Oval Office in the last 80 years.  Playing pivotal roles in Truman, Kennedy and Johnson’s ascent to power.

Only total dipshits like you think Voter ID is suppression and posted by someone who lives in a historical epicenter of voter fraud.

I think there are logical arguments one could make for voting to happen on one day, like giving all running a defined schedule with which to strategize campaigns or that it reduces disincentive to vote if those voters think that it's over based on early votes and what they've heard about those results.

But that could generally be solved by eliminating the concept of "election day" and turning it into "election month."

Read the (edited) that’s Path to Power and Means of Ascent sometime, Steve.  Johnson’s whole career was built by Halliburton then Brown and Root and winning a congressional seat on the back of voter fraud.

My voting place is literally across the street and mail in ballots look like a lot of work in Missouri so I'll just wait until election day.

We've basically had election month for in person voting (reduced sites tho). I could definitely go for election week, it's very nice to have some leeway on when to stroll into the polls (I've always been to lazy to fill out the forms or even look up how to get a mail in ballot). Where I live the polling site is never crazy busy, might have to wait like 5 minutes at the most in line, so it isn't like it's a hassle or time crunch normally.

I’m talking more about calendaring than physical things, and it would matter whether voting is in-person or otherwise. It needs to be accepted that voting commences on October ___, with debates having happened and most candidates having shot their load by that start date.

I like getting my ballot and the book that has all the breakdowns and gives me 3-4 weeks to get up to speed on all the down-ballot things I’ve never heard of. But we should have all the complete info by that start date and then it’s just a matter of me taking my time to fill the thing out and drop it off.

I anticipate spending like 4 hours in line next Monday. Hopefully it won’t be that bad.  Was too lazy to get an Illinois DL during corona, so I couldn’t request a mail ballot.

You can go to Union Station today and go in person and avoid potential lines (I did wait in line Tuesday for 15 minutes)

Just a very weird post IMO, BidenVoter.7.

We never lived up to it relative to what?  The new standards as unilaterally declared by perpetually enraged BidenVoter Nation?

Choice is yours my friend, just putting it out there given the unknown wait of election day. kCEB has other in person sites now too.

Not one person should have to wait in line for 4 hours to vote.  That is ridiculous.  Voting in person should never take more than 20 minutes.  To me that is voter suppression evidence and proves the state needs early or earlier voting, mail-in voting, or additional polling places.
