how blatantly does an election need to be rigged before anyone will do anything about it? it owns having our entire system of government enforced through norms alone with no enforcement mechanisms at all

Wasn't the south still under heavy scrutiny from the Justice Department up until recently? Like to the point they couldn't change certain laws without Federal oversight.

When people talk about Roberts "gutting the Civil Rights Act" in Shelby County v Holder, that's what they're talking about. Some places with a history of discriminatory election practices we're basically on probation, or I believe the technical term was pre-clearance. If they wanted to make changes to how they did elections, they had to run it by a federal judge who would make sure it wasn't discriminatory. If you managed not to try anything discriminatory for 10 years, you were considered reformed and didn't have to do pre-clearance anymore. A bunch of places were unable to go more than 10 years in between being racist assholes about elections. And as soon as that section of the voting rights act was struck down, a bunch of the places that had required pre-clearance immediately implemented discriminatory redistricting maps, voter ID laws, and other changes to how they ran elections.

They are "certifying each vote by hand" for mail in votes, whatever that means.

In 2016 it took them a week to get to my vote, and then throw it out. But they apparently aren't throwing votes out for bad sigs this year, they're confirming people's identities in some other way.

been a few count updates today for the sinema/mcsally race but sinema has so far been consistently remaining 8k-9k ahead of mcsally

also it's a case of republicans getting owned by their own voter suppression tactics, the recorders are actually going through and verifying the signatures and the republicans desperately want them to stop

Because requiring a photo ID instead puts an undue burden on minority communities and actual in person fraud barely exists.

Yeah I guess one of the few downsides of ones drivers license lasting for 40-50 years is your signature is probably not the same as when you were a teenager.

Didn't you hear? The Supreme Court came to the realization that all the voting rights issues in America had been solved, so they got rid of the laws that would prevent governments from blatantly rigging elections. You know, because they could be trusted, now, not to do that sort of thing.
