    You actually don;t need ID to vote in Canada. You have other options although like 99% take the ID route because its faster.

    I've seen it happen both as a poll clerk and a voter. Actually last night the person next to me was in the process of being vouched by someone else.

    Also until we get ranked voting you will never truly have a legitimate 3rd party option, let alone any chance at a 4th or 5th party. Most national leadership conventions understand this and go with ranked voting for their leaders. Not the GOP though (or democrats) which is honestly the biggest reason Trump got in. Had they used rank voting no way he would have made it through the field of a dozen candidates.

    Not a fan of proportional representation because it takes away from districts being able to elect their own local representative and the 10% of the population that is fucking nutz shouldnt have representation anyways...

    I'm also a firm believer that lower turnout typically reflects a more intelligent and informed electorate. If people don;t wanna take the time to vote or understand the policies they are voting for its better off they don;t take part in the voting process.

    Yeah, kid it front of me had to have his grandfather vouch for him while poor old me was blocked because I was out of my province and didn't have a document proving I was renting here.

This past election you could drive through vote in your car due to Covid, how that is a secret ballot when two people are voting in the car at the same time I’ll never know.

    The GOP decided that car voting is technically not allowed due the state constitution and have been accused of trying to make voting too hard.
    Bullshit. They have changed way more rules than that and are clearly targeting likely Democratic voters.

    Stop the presses, the party in power tries to stay in power by any means necessary….you’re really breaking new ground here.

    Look at these incredibly crazy changes….so racist….you can only vote from 6 am to 10 pm….not 3 AM….so so racist.

    You can’t mail people ballots who didn’t request them, the horror!

    Changes to the Texas election process in SB 1 include

    A ban on drive-thru voting
    New regulations for early voting hours, including a ban on 24-hour voting
    A ban on the distribution of mail-in ballot applications
    New ID requirements for voting by mail
    A correction process for mail-in voting
    Enhancing poll watcher protections
    Establishing monthly citizenship checks
    Creating new rules for voter assistance
