All these people* can go screw themselves

[conuly]

because they're determined to screw the rest of us over even more.

* Except those who are genuinely facing structural difficulties in voting.

That's amazing. NY doesn't work half that hard.

I just finally got around to reading about voter suppression in North Dakota, and how they are requiring street addresses. I was gobsmacked. Here in MA, our voter registrations forms ask for a street address and then has a box for a map, saying "Using landmarks, draw the location of the place where you live if you cannot describe that location as a number and street or as a rural route and box number."

This is what democracy looks like.

I wonder how often that really comes up nowadays, but it's good that they're prepared for this!

On a related note, one of the pro-cursive scare tactics is that you can't legally sign your name without cursive and so can't do a long list of official things, like vote. Well, I can see some corrupt or ignorant election official trying that rule, but it would constitute a literacy test. Everywhere you sign your name, you can legally sign with an X, or a stylized image, or in print. However you habitually make your mark, that's your signature.
