Ohio purged 26,000 voters days before abortion referendum deadline

They can’t comprehend not cheating, so they assume everyone else does too.
“How could we lose? We cheated so much! The only way is if they cheated more!”

I don’t get this. How is this democratic? I think it’s already ridiculous you have to go through all that trouble just to be able to vote on a random work day, and now they remove people who are already eligible to vote? The fuck.
In my country (Europe) when you reach 18 years of age you receive a letter that you’re obligated to vote whenever the next election rolls around. Elections are always on Sundays and it’s very easy to give permission to someone else to vote for you in case you have to work. Voting also never takes more than half an hour.
How do you pretend to be a democratic republic and make it so discouraging to vote?
How do you pretend to be a democratic republic
This is the key word right here.

I don’t understand it either. What’s the purpose of making voting so difficult? Is it to keep the less fortunate and less abled from being able to have a voice in elections?
I’m in the US but my state does mail-in voting by default, so you get plenty of time to research and make your vote choices from the comfort of your own home. We also have automatic voter registration through our department of motor vehicles. I think either a system like your country has or my state has should be the standard across the US, but unfortunately it’s not.
Voter disenfranchisement is a powerful weapon of the Republican party. It’s one of the key reasons why much of the south is the way it is despite attempts otherwise to address it.

Oh that’s simple. It’s not, nor is it supposed to be. Hope that clears things up.
Ohio is a state, one of 50. Each is different with voting. Example: In Colorado one can just mail in their ballot or drop it off at ballot collection boxes scattered across the state that are under video surveillance, or vote traditionally on voting day if one wants.
Treat states like an EU country, basically. Also, Ohio sucks, in general.
You assume that the USA is a democracy. They is your mistake right there. The us is a failed democracy at best, never really was one at worst. It’s all pretence and showmanship but in the end everything is rigged and corrupt as fuck

Right because Trump winning is what the “rigged and corrupt” “deep state” wanted to happen. /s
Things aren’t ideal but they’re far from rigged. There’s corruption but anywhere people and power are involved you’ll find someone trying to carve out more than their fair share.
Trump didn’t win the popular vote.
And…?
He didn’t win.
And…?
If you’re trying to make a point that the electoral college is messed up, yes. If you’re trying to make the point that that’s an example of things being “rigged” and “corrupt”, I think you’re way off base for what actual rigging and corruption looks like.
Also, he did win the first election, which is what I’m talking about. If things were truly rigged and corrupt, Trump would’ve never been president. I shouldn’t have to qualify that with “in 2016”, but if it helps that’s what I meant.

In May, Republicans in the state legislature introduced a bill that threatened to make it much harder to pass a constitutional amendment by requiring more than 60% of the vote to pass an initiative, rather than a simple majority – an effort explicitly designed to undercut the abortion referendum.
LaRose, who is also running for a US Senate seat and is looking to endear himself with conservative voters, was a prominent supporter of that failed campaign.
“This is 100% about keeping a radical pro-abortion amendment out of our constitution,” LaRose said in June. “The left wants to jam it in there this coming November.”
In a special election on 8 August, Ohio voters rejected the proposal by 57% to 43%, a lopsided result in the Republican-leaning state.
No way a Republican is projecting. NO way. None. /s
Funny how the party that talks about voting fraud all the time is doing everything it can to undermine voting rights.
Freud called it projection
They took a page from the Brian Kemp playbook.

If you know you’re going to lose, because you have nothing but hate as your platform; then cheating is literally the only option left
Or, you know, accepting the loss. But fascists don’t consider that option.
