    Voting is too damn hard in the US.

    It’s too damn hard in certain states.

    I’m in California, and am signed up for vote by mail, which anyone can do. Ballot gets mailed to me well in advance, I can take my time filling it out and researching down ballot issues, and plop it in a mailbox when I’m done.

    It’s criminal to me that this isn’t the norm.

      I live in Colorado, and I feel the same way about this. I love the way voting works here. This should be the norm. It should be REQUIRED at the federal level that this is an offering in every state in the land.

      Any state that is not doing this does not care at all about the democratic process, IMHO, given there are outstanding examples of states that do.

        There are loads of states that don’t want democracy, they want a theocratic republican dictatorship and if they can’t get that through voting they’ll get it through cheating, just like Jesus taught them.
