It was that speech where a female from CA I think told him “see you in court” around 22nd Feb, and this was regarding trans’ rights I believe.

I watched some of it live. He talked about lots of things and said he wants to ban all voting booths and have paper ballots and that (in his typical self) “there won’t be cheating, they have advanced technology, really advanced stuff. It’s called… “watermark”. It’s really great”.

Combined with the accusations that there were indeed cheating by paper ballots for some states, it’s kinda the smoking gun that would mean he perhaps shouldn’t be president?

Why is no one here talking about this? Why is no one outraged?

    Sounds great till you live somewhere like Texas where they have closed down large swaths of places to vote and you have to drive and/or wait hours outside in the hot sun. And they don’t allow organizations to pass out bottled water.

      That just means they need to open more places to vote. One shouldn’t have to go far or wait more than a few minutes in order to vote. That the US allows these scandalous practices is beyond belief.

        In a fair and just system you would be correct. Not in America.

        That the US allows these scandalous practices is beyond belief.

        Did you see the piece of shit half of US voters thought “that’ll do”? We have nearly half a billion guns but not enough brain cells to best an ameoba in a kindergarten trivia contest.

        Problem is that lack of places to vote isn’t a bug. It’s a feature. It means people who don’t have access to transport or who have do work during the day have a more difficult time voting. Not everyone has the time to drive somewhere and then stand in line for hours. Republicans have used this as one of their techniques to discourage certain groups of people from voting at all.

          And I don’t understand why anyone is allowing them to do this. It’s clearly anti-democratic abuse.

      I don’t think it matters whether after those hours of travelling and queuing you need to press buttons on a touch screen or scribble two or three numbers on a piece of paper.

      Neither case makes the drive any shorter.
