voting is always on sundays and its a national holiday

Until recently here voting was always on Thursdays as a way to disenfranchise college students - the idea was that they wouldn't have enough time to travel home after college to vote and then come back to the cities for the next day of study.

The last few referendums were on Fridays because those times the government wanted the student vote (gay marriage and then abortion legalisation).

Here in Brazil we have a dedicated ID card (the RG), that everyone has, even the poorest

Before we also had a voting document that was required for voting but now it aint necessary anymore, we can use the RG or other valid document (only government docs, like a drivers license)

Theres no voting by mail or stuff like that (I dont think it would work here, because theres no way to guarantee the secrecy of the vote), but voting is always on sundays and its a national holiday

Yeah we'd have a free national ID card here in the US too, except every time it gets proposed all our dumbass evangelicals throw a shitfit about how it's THE MARK OF THE BEEEEAASSST :byodood:


We have to have our identification tied to a commercial transaction with built-in poll tax like God intended

In the UK it's the policy that won't flush. It's been rejected multiple times. Rather than lizard/nwo/satan based objections I think most people see it as the last shred of privacy getting ripped away.

The UK being the CCTV Capital of the world already, they even have an automated system of cameras tracking the national highways through number plate and face recognition.

The simple fact is though. It really doesn't matter for securing UK elections. Sure it's very easy to do One Voter Fraud, but the nature of the ballots means that doing 10 frauds is 10x harder and takes 10x longer, you would need hundreds working in a conspiracy. At a certain point it's so labour intensive to try and swing one county vote that it would be discovered easily.

Exactly. That's why it's usually isolated to the occasional idiot in isolation deciding to have a vote for their dead grandparent or something, and if you keep the electoral rolls up to date even that won't work.

All billionaires suck, but Cuban managed to get Yahoo to pay $5 billion for a streaming radio service that they shut down 3 years later…so at least he came by his money honestly (grifting from people with even more money).

Also if Musk hates DEI so much then why does Tesla push it? He should show some backbone and cancel all DEI efforts at Tesla.

She kept asking the same dumb question to bunch of Ivy league presidents akin to ''do you condone killing jews'' over and over. I'm guessing the right dog piled the presidents into resigning after this but I could be wrong.

Most notable thing is he was so not mad at Mark Cuban that he replied to a 10 year old tweet from Donald Trump dunking on Cuban.

Who were some of the folks who just got banned?

Unrelated - I think it was yesterday that Musk retweeted or replied to a bunch of posts about the media taking a shot at X because it's a major threat to them, and holy poo poo, that could not be the case at all. Between monetization and incentivizing dickheads to post whatever gets them the most engagement, and complete and utter lack of moderation, it feels like the part of Twitter that made it a good news source is fundamentally and irrevocably broken. It's just a misinformation-factory at this point, and it's only going to get better before it gets any worse.
