“If the purges [of potential voters], challenges and ballot rejections were random, it wouldn’t matter. It’s anything but random. For example, an audit by the State of Washington found that a Black voter was 400% more likely than a white voter to have their mail-in ballot rejected. Rejection of Black in-person votes, according to a US Civil Rights Commission study in Florida, ran 14.3% or one in seven ballots cast.”
"[…] Democracy can win* despite the 2.3% suppression headwind.
And that’s our job as Americans: to end the purges, the vigilante challenges, the ballot rejections and the attitude that this is all somehow OK."
You are so clueless but strongly opinionated.
Whatever. Believe what you believe.
One of us is an elections official in Washington, it isn’t you. King county is having a special election right now, if you are in a participating district, ask them what the difference is between the “in person” ballot and the mail in when you go in. It’s the same ballot.
I’m not talking about the ballot. I’m talking about where you vote. You’re arguing semantics.
Well that’s idiotic. You can also drop it off in person at any mailbox or any county drop box. If you want to define it by your proximity to where you drop it off instead of by process, we can say it’s all in person voting.
And of course I’m arguing semantics, definitions ARE a matter of semantics. Also, I work for the government, you have no idea the number of stupid ambiguous laws we have to navigate every day. We live in a world of semantics.
