Hmm, in the UK you’re automatically registered (although you will get a form with the details of everyone registered at your address, that you have to return if it’s wrong).
In order to vote, you go to your polling station and queue up. When you get to the desk you’re asked your name and address, you tell them, they tick you off the list and hand you your ballot papers. No ID of any kind required.
In 2015 (when we had a general election, and a few local ones) there were 123 reported cases, "related to voting offences, which could include impersonation (voting as someone else), breaches of the secrecy requirements, tampering with ballot papers, bribery or treating (providing food or drink to influence a voter) or undue influence."
That’s out of an electorate of 46 million people.

Huh, came back to reply to Curtis, but it seems he deleted himself. Haha, couldn’t take the heat?
Those videos were edited, including the manufacture of frankenquotes. Investigations - commissioned by republicans and undertaken by state governments - found no wrongdoing by PP, no fetal tissue sales, nada.. There’s no profit in abortion. Planned Parenthood provides healthcare to people who cannot afford it under the current US-ian for-profit healthcare system.
If you’re against Planned Parenthood, you’re against affordable healthcare… and it would be a shame if you lost your coverage due to loss of job, got hit by a car, wound up deep in debt, all because you’re a Republican who hates the idea of single-payer.
Single-payer works. It works well in Canada, despite Trump’s claims. For-profit healthcare does not ensure better emergency rooms, nor does it ensure better levels of care overall… all it does is prioritizes those who have money over their fellow citizens.
All [humans] are created equal. Healthcare is a human right that all should have access to. But USA doesn’t respect human rights. Only that almighty profit margin.
There’s no such thing as a federal election. The presidential election is run by each state to select the state’s slate of representatives to the electoral college.
However, the fifteenth amendment gives the federal government the right to lay requirements on state election divisions. Senators Wyden and Merkley (D-Oregon) have proposed that all states be required to adopt the Oregon model in which everybody votes by mail. This eliminates suppression of minority votes by requiring ID, shutting down early voting, or reducing the availability of polling places. We’ll have to wait until Democrats take back Congress before this bill can advance. http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2016/07/sens_wyden_merkley_propose_nat.html
do i have your permission to print this out and put it on a button?
Sure, if you want. I’d set the type better if I were you though. I just did it quick-n-dirty with Impact, but you can get better results if you use a face with multiple weights so the QUEER isn’t so unbalanced with the THREATENINGLY. Find a free knockoff of something like http://www.typography.com/fonts/knockout/styles/
thanks man!
