Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

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.
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.
And are those Republicans that still love their country here in the room with us now?
Wait, i'm confused by US election rule, how long does the ballot open if there's no early voting?
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?
Here's the post I think Rhaedas is referring to.
I think I was blocked from there for daring to say all genocide is bad, and we can criticize democrats. Anyway, I can't see any comments there. Thank you for posting the link, though.
Anyone who loves their country is no longer republican.
At least, the ones that love and understand their country.
Wrong. They love a country they understand perfectly, it just isn't real.
