Voting by mail is inferior to having a voting booth. The women secretly voting for Kamela have a much lower chance of being able to vote as they want by mail-in ballots. Indeed anyone in an unequal power relationship has the same problem.

There's a reason we have voting booths, and it's still important.

This meme brings back memories! But what was the sign saying in the original?

#IF YOU ARE IN LINE WHEN POLLS CLOSE, THEY HAVE TO LET YOU VOTE REGARDLESS OF STATE!

#STAY IN LINE AND VOTE FOR FREEDOM!

A Rey of hope

And hope you aren't in one of those oppressive states that close the polls even if there is still a line. I'm all for states controlling their elections, but there probably needs to be some baseline rules (like the Federal minimum wage) to protect voters' rights. That's just wrong, especially since I think those same states are the ones that don't allow early voting either, and have restrictions on mail-in. Voting is a right, not a first come, first serve.

If you are in live when polls close, they have to let you vote. It's the law.

For Kamala.

And for good ballot measures in your local races, plus DAs, judges, representatives, etc.

You should wait in line like how people do with game releases. Bring a tent if you have to.

Man I wish that was still the norm. Waiting in line for Halo 2/3 at midnight with my buddies are some great memories. Stupid digital downloads being all convenient and whatnot...

Was Halo ⅔ a prequel or something?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

It’s also called Halo ODST.

Yeah I got mixed feelings on digital downloads because of ownership not being respected as much nowadays by companies.
