I worry that a lot of the measures to initially expand the vote will be suddenly repealed in a way where everybody who took advantage will suddenly have their votes invalidated without them knowing.

And that's assuming votes are actually being processed in an objective way as opposed to selectively invalidating all votes for non-republicans.

Sorry, it turns out in the mix Maine got the name Texas, and now the Texas fragments will have to fight over the names Maine, Vacationland USA, and the Pine Tree State.

no I put checked disabled on a form or something back in April and this is now the second time I’ve voted by mail this year

Texas defines disability broadly; it wasn’t this article but I read something like that somewhere

https://www.texastribune.org/2020/08/21/vote-by-mail-texas/

Texas Tribune posted:

Take note that the Texas election code’s definition for disability is broader than other federal definitions. A voter is eligible to vote by mail based on disability if they have a “sickness or physical condition” that prevents a voter from appearing in person without personal assistance or the “likelihood of injuring the voter’s health.” While lack of immunity to the new coronavirus alone doesn’t qualify a voter for a mail-in ballot based on disability, a voter can consider it along with their medical history to decide if they meet that definition.

I was going to vote absentee, but I have no faith that they will count my vote so I am going to early vote at the most inconvenient time for everyone else and hope very few people are there.

I applied for absentee voting back in April (my wife is immunocompromised) and never got any confirmiation that it went through. My assumption is that they're trying to voter suppress us, and threw away the application.

But my question is: am I good to vote in person if somehow my absentee app was approved and I didn't hear about it?

I've voted absentee one time (years ago), it was rejected, and they sent me a letter in the mail saying so.

At worst they'll have you cast a provisional ballot because you won't have an absentee ballot to return to them that day. This means your vote won't be part of the electronic tally that's reported that night. Once they verify that your absentee ballot hasn't been received they will count it and you'll get a letter in the mail whether it was counted or rejected with the reason for rejection.

lol these motherfuckers. Just like the ACA they only pretend to want stuff to happen because they're playing to the simple rubes in their constituency, but when it comes down to it, they don't actually want it

Also I don't have any data to back this up but abortion voters have got to be easily either the top one or two single-issue voter blocs and overturning RvW would gut GOP voting turnout. Like Mitch says, voters don't turn out to say thanks

SCOTUS has helped the gop so much the past few decades. they didnt have to vote on the record on a bunch of wedge issues so can hold whatever position is convenient that year.

i remember years ago an article in the economist or somewhere making the case for overturning roe so congress can actually just go ahead and legalize abortion and put this all to bed, but of course theres the risk that congress wouldnt be able to and that it would jsut end up back in courts anyway.

I don't really understand why pro-lifers are so gung-ho about what they do, but I feel like probably all the issues that have had an immediate and direct effect on their lives will probably have a greater effect on the way they vote. It's not like abortion rights are that strong these days anyways.

Ever since the Supreme Court rejected the Voting Rights act, I noticed that they've otherwise refused to defend democracy in any meaningful way for a long while. Corporations are people and Redmap was given the green light. "Constitutionalism" is just another farce for reinforcing their personal politics. It's not like the 2nd amendment actually meant unrestricted gun ownership before the NRA conjured that interpretation to make some extra money in murder sales.

That's how it is for every single social conservative issue, and that's the scam: the financial wing of the party wants to continue to pass unpopular and regressive economic legislation for which there is no constituency and to do so they leverage people motivated by non-tangible things: religion, grievance, *phobias, etc. There are a significant number of voters in this country who don't think climate change is an important issue because they believe Christ will return before it becomes a problem. So how do you make an economic argument for people who are more worried about what happens to them after they die than what happens now? People who believe the world is supposed to be fallen and evil, that suffering is a natural condition of life - deep down many of them don't believe things should be better, that if the government eased their corporeal pain it would make them less righteous.

As far as specifically pro-lifers, most of them believe that abortion is murdering babies, and this is reinforced constantly by their churches, social circles, political leaders and a vast media empire that churns out endless Saw films except Jigsaw is an abortionist and your pastor screens them for the entire congregation. Women who have abortions are imagined to be minority welfare queens who are simultaneously having children for more government checks while having multiple abortions per year.

You can post the chart about how, aha, actually if you analyze it this is about controlling women more than it is about murdering babies, but most hard core pro-lifers legit believe it's murdering babies, enhanced by prejudice against what kinds of people they think have abortions.
