I'm surprised by the outcome
Court will still probably throw it out, but kinda surprising just how deep the TDS goes
We voted 51-49 to jerrymander the state
Which is against our state constitution 2-3 different ways, court wanted to let people vote though

Explicitly jerrymander, not like, as a byproduct

Less so that than Trump being an actual walking disaster right now. All he had to do was deport people and reps would win foe the next 50 years

not to mention the biased language in the ballot measure
As a counter point, isn't the right wing position that mail in ballots are bad and should not exist
I think you should mail ballots to every single person who can vote
I do not see why that is an issue
voting for something objectively should be trivially easy as long as you are a citizen
Then send someone around to go collect them along with checking IDs
well thats also retarded
but does not invalidate the fact that it should be trivially easy to vote if you want to

it is trivially easy, walk up to the poll and hit the buttons on the screen!
If there are polling stations within a 25 minute walk of every person, then I agree
Okay, then thats fine
I have no idea how american polling works, and I don't vote in Canada
If voting is as easy as walking to a nearby station, then I agree that mail in ballots should be removed other than for your military people overseas I guess
Disability as well for mail in
I think those two would be valid
boomers have to walk
they are 90% of the problem with politics
no exceptions
Yeah it should be 24 hours, and on a weekend or something
or week long
either or
Tiny, do NOT shit talk vinny like that
If its early voting, why the fuck is this being talked about
Not you, I meant the people talking about the vote as is as if it is done and ended

The ID thing can be solved like this. "ID, OR, you have 1 month before the election to request a valid voter ID free of charge"
there solved
government can deal with verifying you are real a month before
