  It’s not strange; they don’t want the poorest and lower class people to be able to vote.

    Only 14 of the 50 states do not have voting leave statues. 10 are northern states …

      Statutes, not statues.

  But then Black people might vote. America still hasn’t forgiven Black people for existing.

  If the goal was to have everyone vote, it wouldn’t be Tuesday and everyone would automatically be registered with mail-in being an option.

  Or at least a legal requirement for employers to allow time off during employees shifts to vote.

    Federal law doesn’t require employers to give employees any time off to vote, much less paid time off. Instead, the laws vary from state to state: Just 29 states and the District of Columbia currently require employers to give employees time off to vote in general elections.

      I know it doesn’t.

      I’m saying it should.

        That would be something you’d have to take up with the government. Maybe start local because every state can set different laws.

  Sadly, it’s not strange at all. We’re a capitalist country. This is what our votes support every two years.

  In France it’s always on a Sunday, because guess what: most people don’t work on Sunday

  Also if you do work on Sunday your boss is legally bound to allow you to go vote because of course we do, it’s a democracy ffs

    The US is more like the EU than any specific country as each state has its own laws but are also bound by federal ones. In Colorado, where I live, we all vote by mail in ballot, which can be mailed in or dropped off in voting drop boxes anytime. No need to drive to a polling station or wait in line.

    It’s interesting to see this reply from someone calling themselves ‘Anticorp’.

      What did I reply? I don’t remember. Whatever it was, I obviously rethought it since I deleted it right away. Somehow you still saw it.

        You said something like: “The founding fathers only intended for educated landowners to vote, and the more you see from the Internet, the more you think they were right.”

        (Something like that.)
