“If the purges [of potential voters], challenges and ballot rejections were random, it wouldn’t matter. It’s anything but random. For example, an audit by the State of Washington found that a Black voter was 400% more likely than a white voter to have their mail-in ballot rejected. Rejection of Black in-person votes, according to a US Civil Rights Commission study in Florida, ran 14.3% or one in seven ballots cast.”
"[…] Democracy can win* despite the 2.3% suppression headwind.
And that’s our job as Americans: to end the purges, the vigilante challenges, the ballot rejections and the attitude that this is all somehow OK."
But there isn’t only one process. You can get a ballot and/or vote in-person if you choose to or need to.
Yeah, no.
Even if you choose to pick up your mail in ballot in our office, and even if you drop off in the drop box in our office, you still got a mail in ballot and dropped it in a county drop box. Everyone can do that, you weren’t special or different, just needy.
I’m not arguing that you still get a ballot sent to you. But you are wrong in saying that there is only one method. I had to vote in person once because they sent me an incorrect ballot.
Sometimes you’re not right and it’s okay to accept that and move on.
Edit: and the election site points out where you can go to vote in person. Also, I didn’t go to an office because it was a whole arena dedicated to voting in-person.
Maybe that was back when they still had in person voting in Washington, but it’s just one type of ballot packet and mail or drop boxes now.
Maybe they held your hand and called it in person to make you feel better, but there’s no different process in Washington State that’s different than the mail in process.
Again, it’s okay to be wrong. It was two years ago that I needed to go vote in person, in Seattle.
Oh that makes sense, they do have a separate process there to handle all the people that are convinced that there’s an in person process, but it’s still just a mail in ballot and a county drop box, they just don’t have time to try and convince you that you aren’t special.
Both Oregon and Washington allow for in person voting, you just do it at the elections precinct.
You are so clueless but strongly opinionated.
Whatever. Believe what you believe.
One of us is an elections official in Washington, it isn’t you. King county is having a special election right now, if you are in a participating district, ask them what the difference is between the “in person” ballot and the mail in when you go in. It’s the same ballot.
I’m not talking about the ballot. I’m talking about where you vote. You’re arguing semantics.
