    There’s an election every day in the US and 3-4 tiers of elected governments. I think even if they use every means at their disposal its going to be very hard to even shutdown elections in a single US state. This is why the main strategy seems to be kkk style: harass brown people, women, etc so much they’re afraid to visit poll sites.

      This is why the main strategy seems to be kkk style: harass brown people, women, etc so much they’re afraid to visit poll sites. Use the depressed turnout to declare victory.

      Edit: I’m pretty sure the end goal is to set up military check points outside of poll centers and forcibly ID card people.

      Why do you think the conservatives went absolutely fucking apeshit over mail-in ballots during Covid? They love it when voting it is difficult, particularly in areas with key demographics.

      When things are more spread out - both physically via mail-in voting or being able to just drop off ballots at drop boxes, or spread out in time via things like early voting, it makes it much harder for them to do all their usual rat-fucking tactics.

      You’ll notice they seem to object to all of these things, by the way.
