A republican introduced a bill to allow remote voting for new MOTHERS (only). Democrats converted it to allow remote voting for all new parents, including fathers. Write your congress-critters to support GENDER-EQUAL remote voting for new parents in congress.

This should extend to disabled people. I don't see what the difference is. If you can not get to the voting booth, this should be an option. They had electronic voting for the military for some time.

Oh look, a republican fighting against equal rights and democratic process. Shock.

Let's just cut to the quick here: The US is no barely a democracy, if it ever was.

The first past the post voting pretty much guarantees there can only be two viable parties in the country, effectively destroying the chances of any new alternatives to the binary status quo. There's many other, better alternatives to this method that other countries have implemented successfully. Ranked Choice Voting is clearly superior.

The electoral college system also fucks with any concept of representing the will of the people. It also basically ensures that third parties or reformist candidates will never be elected as 'electors' decide the outcome of the presidential election, not the popular vote.

And those are just the two, arguably largest problems with just how the foundation of the system is set up. Why isn't voter registration automatic when you become legal age? Why isn't there standardized online voting? Why is the election held on a Tuesday, and not a weekend or a nationally recognized holiday? Don't tell me it isn't possible. Other countries have implemented it successfully!

If you can do remote military operations and run the fucking world economy off the internet with proper encryption, you can fucking count a vote and make it an immutable record with technology like blockchain and government-grade encryption.

Let's look at the hard numbers from the most recent 'well studied' US election, which at the time of this posting is 2020, not 2024.

Democrats: ~34% of eligible Americans voted for Biden.
Republicans: ~31% voted for Trump.
Third-Party/Independents: ~1–1.2% combined.
Non-Voters: ~34% of the Voting Eligible Population (specifically, those of age, non-felons, and legal citizens; more accurate than Voting Age Population).

A THIRD OF AMERICA DIDN'T VOTE. Due to explicit disenfranchisement by politicians who benefit from lower voter turnout, there are places across America where people literally cannot vote due to non-sensical registration restrictions, an inability to take time off, or a physical difficulty making it harder than normal to go to a physical voting station. All of these problems are solvable today, and yet we cling to ideas from literal generations ago when we didn't have the benefit of secure technologies like advanced encryption, ubiquitous personal data terminals with internet connectivity, and biometric identification standards for truly unique and extremely difficult to fake or circumvent ID.

BE FUCKING MAD, GENTS AND LADIES!

With every passing year, more people check out and fewer and fewer of the ordinary population of the US are represented by the supposed electorate, and deliberate efforts to undermine the political structure of one person to one vote has resulted in an oligarchy of the ultra rich with often lifetime politician seats, catering to those who can give them the largest 'political contributions'. *And they can play the fucking stock market.* Where does the conflict of interests end?

The reality of the Men's Rights Movement is that we need a political party to align with. And it's very, painfully clear that neither the GOP or the DNC is suitable for the job.

No. I oppose remote voting for all people. Day of, in person voting only.

I believe it is just another way of frauds. People and infrastructure are not advanced enough to be responsible with this. People fall for so many obvious scams, how will they ensure Xi jing ping is not voting instead of Karen/Chad and Tyrone who clicked a link to for herbal detox scam.

I've never seen anyone be unable to vote just because they became parents. You have like two weeks to put your ballot in. I can't imagine you'd be stopped just because you walked in with your baby. This feels more like SJW politics to make people ignore the fact that your insurance company will deny half of your claims even if you need brain surgery from a car accident.

So much for republicans not being harmful to men. They just fuck you over for different reasons

This is different from mail-in voting, which you can do FAR in advance... how, exactly? We've had THAT since before I was born.

What's next, raising the wages for Pony Express couriers?

That was a terrible bill, but it won’t go through. Democrats will expand it to men and Republicans will shoot down the whole thing since it’s just another way to rig an election.
