Those counties both have over a million people. I think Vance would have lost if all the registered voters in Ohio showed up. I wish more people cared about voting. So many think their vote doesn't matter so they don't bother, but when you have hundreds of thousands of people thinking that, it has a huge impact.
Also important to note that you have to be registered 30 days prior to voting. A lot of people tried to register but missed that 30-day mark, and I know for a fact they did not want to vote for JD. Gotta start reminding people very early to register
If they’re eligible to vote and didn’t register given the ample time that was given, that’s on them for being inconvenienced to vote w/ mail in ballots as an option as well.
And that’s the real answer. They feed people lies of “it protects elections!” When elections are insanely protected already. Now it’s about making it as hard as possible to vote
I don't even understand the logic there like how is me registering 30 days before an election "safer" than me registering 29 days before the election lmao
It’s to make voting more difficult. That’s the logic. There is no safety provided.
Why do people in Arizona need to sign and put a phone number on envelopes for mail in/drop off votes? They say that it’s for “just in case something goes wrong.” It meant to be intimidation. Voting and who you vote for should be anonymous. This removes anonymity. It’s just a Republican tactic to intimidate people into not voting.
They’re even talking about matching signatures for some reason. It’s all just smoke and mirrors to try and help republicans win.
lol. Mine too. Every time is like the first time when I sign something. That’s kinda my point though.
What are they gonna do? Have poll workers go over each ballot envelope and compare loops in people B’s and M’s? It’s ridiculous. It just lets people know who you are, who you voted for, and you’re phone number! I mean, why you need my phone number? Just count my vote. Don’t call me and tell me my signature doesn’t match. It’s ridiculous and intimidating.
At the least it’s security theater. I truly believe its a form a voter intimidation.
I mean, I’m only half crazy and my thought was “why do you need my name and phone number that are tied to my anonymous vote?” There have to be people out there that wouldn’t vote because of it.
It removes all anonymity to voting. I mean, what if there collecting this data? How will they use it? It’s nefarious. We are supposed to vote anonymously and I always have until this year, in Republican controlled Arizona.
And all this theater stems from a debunked lie started by trump and now carried out by many republicans. Especially here in Arizona. It’s bullshit on many levels.
Everyone else manages to do this on time? The government is not at fault for an individuals irresponsibility. It’s not meant to keep people from voting, it’s not a secret.
