“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."
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.
