@flexghost b-b-b-but something something voter fraud something secure something cheat!!!!!
*stroking off hand motion*
@andrew that’s why the bluest counties should only have one polling place open at midnight to 1 AM on the third Bluemoon of the year
@flexghost TIL that this doesn’t happen everywhere.
@flexghost
The issue is it is with the drivers license
Philadelphia has a large portion of the population that does not drive
@TYB ****or identification****
@TYB @flexghost When I first saw a news article about this, with a headline about “automatic voter resignation”, I was surprised. Then I read the article.
The phrase is a misnomer.
@flexghost @spradlig
I read it
It is for people who are applying for or to renew a driver's license
Not everyone drives or intends to get a license, drivers or non drivers
This is more common in republican run states to require a driver's license
Another favorite is a gun license to register and vote
No it’s not: “Automatic voter registration” would be if any eligible citizen is automatically registered to vote, as in some countries. I did read the article.
Have someone help you with your manners.
Good afternoon! #muted
This is true. And so is the fact that your new profile pic looks a lot like Hedy Lamarr, one of my favs Respect!
@shoozejim my friend helped make it I’m glad you like it!! That’s the vibe for sure
Brains and beauty - always good together...
@flexghost How can anyone (coherently) argue this is a bad thing?
@jimbo only the Christian minority, which has not had a single good faith argument in decades
@flexghost I saw this this morning and realllly needed it. What good news!
@flexghost Crazy that this isn’t the standard, but glad they’ve got it now.
@flexghost * stares in German *
@flexghost in Germany every citizen which is living in Germany at the time before the election is registered by default. I get up, I go vote, done.
@ricardo_b @flexghost That’s how it should be.
@flexghost Over here in germany, i'm automatically registered to vote after i registered my living place with the government (which is mandatory and will determine the address in the ID card).
Actually, you cannot be _deregistered_ at all, except for some criminal charges serving jailtime or similar severe circumstances.
@flexghost Technically, they are probably the left people.
@flexghost our governor’s Facebook announcement of this looks exactly like you’d imagine. Lots of people whose user pics are eagles, men in pick up trucks wearing wraparound sunglasses, artsy images of crosses at sunset and American and Gadsden flags are very, very very angry.
