and have weeks to mail it back in, put it in a box, or go down and vote on election day?

This would be the exact opposite of voter suppression - and we see the results!

said they weren't signed up for permanent by-mail). But in any case they do make it easy -- and it works.

The only downside is it takes a long time afterwards to count up all those paper mailed-in ballots.

All it requires is checking a box. And we have a ridiculous number of polling places. Many within walking distance.

NO polling places in Detroit, but polling places every 2 blocks in LA. I always absentee voted - excellent.

You can do it at any DMV and I think you can also submit a request via postal mail. I did it at the DMV.

That's all I have.

DT Says he would've won the popular vote if CA had the same voter suppression laws as Republican controlled states.

as it happened.

One of my friends who lives there chose to vote for a 3rd party candidate for president, simply because he knew HRC would easily carry California and he wanted to promote another candidate. If you can imagine, there are probably tens or hundreds of thousands of others who voted alike, HRC supporters that voted for another candidate simply because of the odds.

scan-tron style ballots
paper audit trail
massive number of polling places
vote by mail forms come in the mail
online voter registration
etc., etc., etc...

Why? Because we *value* the democratic process.

Even though our votes are only worth 3/5 of a vote compared to someone in say, WY.

that it's becoming crystal clear I was wrong about Hillary's (in)ability to convince voters that she was the better option. Fuck the electoral college.

Not only that, I'm also starting to believe misogyny did cost her the election. Though I believe the root of that misogyny is in religion.

She inspired more votes than Obama in 2012, even though the voting rights act was dismantled i 2013, allowing millions of votes to be lost through suppression.

Unbelievable anybody has such dumb beliefs as the idea women have no business heading governments when they have been doing it for CENTURIES when you include monarchies.

It is just ludicrous.
