This is one of the reasons Trump will get back in.

Exhibit 1: Kentucky to cut polling booths by 95%.
Ben Jealous, president of People For The American Way, described the situation as “Our Next Electoral Nightmare.”

“Half Kentucky’s Black voters live in one county,” he wrote. “It will have one polling place... for 616,000 registered voters.”

They sent out ballots I thought?
 
Certainly makes one appreciate our independent Electoral commission which is far more effective at ensuring equitable and fair voting procedures.

I'm pretty amazed at the suggestion that there will be only one polling booth for 616,000 people. Apparently representatives from both political parties have protested at the Judges decision to somehow allow this situation to occur.

Some states sent out applications for mail-in ballots (not actual ballots afaik) to all registered voters. In Kentucky all registered voters were eligible to vote by mail, but they had to request an application. The cutoff to apply for a ballot was June 15.

Kentucky is also one of the states that requires photo ID to vote. This requirement generally impedes Blacks more than any other group and is one of the methods used to gerrymander elections.

The US is an example of many things, including what happens when a society tries to manage itself wholly through elected officials.

Here's the website for the Kentucky primary elections:

How does ID result in a gerrymander?
 
June 23 Primary Election Plan Highlights
We are not restricting rights; we are expanding them.

There are four (4) ways to vote in the upcoming primary:
  • Absentee by mail
  • Hand-delivery of absentee ballot
  • Vote early in-person (appointment with county clerk recommended)
  • Vote on election day in-person (appointment with county clerk recommended)
The state will mail each registered voter a postcard with this information.

The state established a secure online portal to request an absentee ballot by a registered voter, which required the voter to prove identity with personally identifiable information. Expanding the ease of obtaining a mail-in ballot will increase voter convenience and help county clerks keep polling lines manageable.

The state will use envelope barcodes to track absentee ballots requested, sent, and received.

County clerks will match the signature on an absentee ballot envelope to the voter’s signature of record. Voters whose signatures do not match will be provided an opportunity to cure the mismatch.

In order to more expeditiously clean up its voter rolls, the state will proactively contact registered voters who have moved out-of-state in an effort to obtain permission to remove them from the rolls.

Absentee ballot request deadline: June 15, 2020
Primary Election Date: June 23, 2020


Seemed to be enough time to get everything in order. I do understand the situation those in poverty are faced with. But if you wanted to vote you did have a few options.

Covers the above post I made.

The best they could come up with?

Firstly, the guy running the post office is a Trump donor and is close to him. All this is happening now when the election is very close.

Secondly, they were taking away all the post boxes. Also getting rid of many of the sorting machines. They are also shortening the post offices hours so they are closed so people can't post without leaving work. This is all about slowing the mail deliberately (no overtime also) so even if you get the form (which will take days, maybe a week) there will not be time to send it off and get processed again by the post office in time to be counted. You can be sure in certain districts this will not be improved. The turn around is too short so people will be effectively stopped by voting by mail

We know they can't vote on polling day because the boss will sack them (or at least make them as the first to be sacked) and even if they do the queues will be so long that they lose a days pay anyway (and I already showed you in some districts there is one polling station for 300,000 people because they are going to close all the others to stop voting) + they might catch Covid+ if they are black they have to go through a cordon of guys in fatigues carrying guns glaring at them. Come on!

The areas who vote the Republican way will have great facilities in comparison to help that vote. They will be gerrymanded into strange shapes and will maybe have only far fewer voters so they can make more pro districts.
 
Yeah and the Dems have never tried to rig an election.

No, Kathy Newman, he is trying to prevent fraud.

There is no prevention for anyone to vote.

If they can go out, smash people unconscious, loot, pillage, and burn the fecking place down... In person... they can go out to vote.

Can't vote. Closed all the polling booths. Read the first post on this thread.

Dictatorships and Communists hold elections.
Only Democracies hold fair elections.
 
Someone must be nervous about Trump winning, so get in early with an excuse for it happening?:rolleyes:
 
That was for the primaries, not the federal election
