It's easy for me because I'm over 65, one of the few qualifiers in Texas. Marvel at how silly that concept is. You have to apply every year for a mailed ballot? Good lord. Why are we so determined to limit voting options? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the story. https://www.tysonsreporter.com/2020/08/06/election-officials-beware-center-for-voter-information-mailing/ I know a lot of different organizations do this type of thing to get as many people (that are likely to vote their way) to vote as possible, by making it is as easy for them as possible (by prefilling forms and affixing postage and basically eliminating things that could be hurdles to even the laziest of humans).

I'm hoping that the Blue Wave enacts some federal laws against voter suppression tactics with prison time and loss of voting rights for those convicted. Make it hurt! Edited to add: a big fat fine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is another example: https://www.star-telegram.com/news/politics-government/election/article244810572.html I'm in the City of Falls Church, not Fairfax. I went to check the address and found this blurb on the city's website: Quote Many City of Falls Church voters have recently received a letter in the mail from the Center for Voter Information with a Vote at Home "Ballot Request Form." The Registrar of Voters has confirmed this a legitimate non-profit third party and the applications are not a scam. However, the Virginia Department of Elections encourages voters to use their official online Citizen Portal to request a Vote-By-Mail Ballot. So, I think I'll just make the request online.

Going Commando Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 1 hour ago, techboy said: Solid thinking, historically speaking, but going cheap is how you lose elections. Take it from someone that actually IS on Mount Rushmore: Wasn't bribery, it was gentlemanly condescension. Back then you had to host your supporters during elections, and you were expected to demonstrate you had the means to do so as a kind of argument for your superiority. Elections were raucous and celebratory and sounded like much more fun than standing in line at an elementary school for two hours. I wonder how many people won office on the strength of having a large quantity of good home brewed whiskey to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wiggles Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I received a letter from the Center for Voter Information here in NC last week. Initially thought it was a scam. Until I read the return envelope address was to my counties board of elections. Prolly still gonna mail in the official request form tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
