Texas governor just said only one voter drop box Per County. Houston with 5 million people and 1700 miles gets one dropbox. Shame the Republicans don't want people to vote

If you read 1 County in Texas it the size of RI. With 1 voting Drop box

Not sure why your against voting as people see fit. In person by mail or drop box
Its there choice not yours

Republicans want to provide Americans the hardest choice possible then use your line whos preventing them from voting

why not let everyone text their vote in?...that would be easy

are you guys really this dumb?

what is "easy"...is going to your polling place on election day, showing your id to prove that you are who you are matching your name on the voter roll and casting your ballot....or...if you can't get to the poll, requesting and absentee ballot prior to the election.

democrats continue to complicate the system by claiming they are making it "easy" for everyone...the stupidity of not asking for id's...mailing out millions of unsolicited ballots....voting long before election day....extending times for vote counts...preparing for all sorts of legal challenges all create more chaos...because ultimately they are bent on undermining the system because they can't accept a system in which they lose..it's the democrats who don't accept the outcomes of elections....which is why they are talking about eliminating the electoral college, packing the court, creating new states, changing the voting age to 16, non-citizens voting in addition to their constant undermining of our voting procedures

no one is making it "harder" for people to vote...it was never hard

no one is preventing anyone from voting

Wow your clearly on the Trump Train,, i guess COVID-19 isnt the real reason for the move to mail in ballots and drop. Boxes is it..

You best line is dems can't accept a system in which they lose..

All while Being wilfully ignorant of who aka what party keeps changing the system from reduced polling places ids I guess a DNA sampleswill be next on their list. So they can't lose the list is endless.. Just like your excuses..:rotflmao

Hell there even against moving voting to a weekend

Not me bc I live in a Dem. state. But if I lived in Houston and didn't trust the system and couldn't get out of work to vote so I wanted to drop my ballot off and a drop box (like I'll do in CT) I might not have a car to drive the 100s of miles to that 1 drop box.

The bigger question is why won't the Rs make it EASIER to vote?

That answer of course is as plain as the orange shade in the face paint our president wears.

It would be easier if there were more drop boxes. I dropped my absentee ballot in the drop box down the street at city hall. It would suck if I had to share 1 drop box with 5M people and drive 100s of miles to use it.

Why don't the Rs want to make it easier to vote? Isn't that one of the most important things citizens should do? Why make it harder for people to vote?
