Voting should be as easy as possible. Why should you have to stand in line for hours on a Tuesday in one particular place? In my state they mail everyone their ballot, and we get like three weeks to drop it off at dozens of locations at our convenience, or just mail it back in. What the gently caress is a "precinct", anyway, and why does it matter in 2021? That type of restriction has one purpose: to make it harder to vote.

the precinct is the area in which you live and have registered as a voter we use the precinct system to prevent people from voting more than once while i guess we could hypothetically devise a new system where precincts dont matter and people can just vote in person at whatever place they want that seems like the kind of idea that would create considerably more problems than it solves

also note that the ruling under discussion doesnt actually affect mail in voting except to the extent you have to mail the ballot in yourself or with the assistance of a person you personally know it just prevents ballot harvesting a practice im honestly surprised was ever legal to begin with because it sounds shady as all hell

even in my lovely texas county you don't have to vote in your precinct. any polling place in the county, you show up, you can vote there. probably way easier to do this with voting machines rather than paper ballots.

thats weird. in illinois i went to early vote once , where there's fewer precincts to go to. i had just moved and they ask ok, whats your address, and i say i just moved to X , but hadn't updated the voter registry. so they told me i couldn't vote there and had to go to another early voting place

i asked the lady what she would do if i got back in line to vote and went to another guy and told him i lived at address that matched my voter info, because they can't check id, and she said she'd throw me out

the policy differs a lot state by state ironically red states tend to have more flexible options on this than blue states do texas has an opt in program where counties can let you vote anywhere in the country and arizona has special voting centers that just ignore the precinct restrictions entirely

more important than voter fraud prevention is that different precincts tend to have different ballots for local races so its not a rule that was made up just to be racist and of course you can easily bypass all this bullshit entirely by just requesting an absentee ballot

no you just vote as normal. i have voted on the way home from work before.

but like i said in this county we use electronic voting machines so there's probably some back end technology magic where they input your name and registered address and it pulls up the ballot for your "assigned" precinct.

i have really been scratching my head with this talking point that its an outrageously onerous burden to expect voters to vote in their own precinct

like how exactly are people voting that doesnt involve them first checking up on where their precinct is do they just drive by random polling places on election day and go hmmm forgot today was election day just gonna pop in real fast and vote and maybe get some free cookies
Because not everybody has a comfy office job where they can post on the internet all day and can roll up at 10am if they want to vote near their house.

Some people have commutes and hours long enough that they don't have time to get to their home precinct after work before the polls close. Some people don't even have reliable transportation.

Have you heard of computers dude. They don't have to put all the ballots in saddlebags and ride them across town to collect them all and confirm nobody voted twice.

I can vote in any precinct in my county, when I check in my info is pulled from the county voter database, the computer generates a custom ballot with my local races on it, and I'm checked off in the database so I can't go to the next precinct and vote again because they can see I already voted.

E: ngl it is extremely funny when someone on the internet tells me that a system I've used for years is a purely hypothetical idea that is so problematic it's likely impossible to ever make it work
