So if you vote on election day but your ballot doesn’t get counted in time I guess your shit outta luck?

    On another discussion post someone from there commented on that fact and I couldn’t believe it. No early voting, once the poll closes that’s it even if there’s a line, and now (for apparently the first time in history) even a late ballot in the mail is invalid. Republicans who still love their country should be outraged at this, but I guess as long as they’re winning it doesn’t matter.

        All 50 states have different rules. All of them. There are federal laws that apply, but our very slanted supreme court has gutted most of them.

        Of the states, some are excellent, most are sane, some are insane.

      The article seemed to state this was specifically about mailed ballots. Any source regarding being in line at poll close?

      Election hasn’t even happened yet and Missouri already has under full fascist control over their voters. A few state-designed delays and any votes from any county or polling site go straight into the trash can.
