With all the news about citizens discovering their voter status has been lapsed, and new rules for being a voter, everyone should check.
But also, sometimes you forget. I have new neighbors who finished moving a month ago, and when I asked if they changed their mailing address and checked their voting status, we discovered they weren’t.
It is wild to me that in the US you’re not automatically registered to vote. The idea that you have to go through a manual process to exert one of your most basic constitutional rights is unfathomable to me.
Here when you turn 18 you can just vote. It’s that simple. No registration, no ticking a checkbox somewhere, you can simply go out there and vote the moment you’re 18.
I have a brother in Oregon, they auto register there.
We’re the oldest democracy in the world and as such are likely the most poorly designed.
It’s been a proto-democracy for so long, that it has become a pseudo-democracy.
Can you lose your voting rights in the USA?
Whaaaaat?
Yep and the person with the most votes isn’t the winner either! It’s super fun and cool living in a non-democracy.
Sorry non-Americans that the American political landscape is a shit show. I hope you’re enjoying the popcorn.
Do other countries eat popcorn?
While Amercia exports shit show, they offset it with another export: caramel popcorn
Wait, non-americans can’t vote?!!
And some Americans, depends on what state you live in and the shade of your skin.
Yes people of many/most countries do.
There are different ways, some places they put salt on, others put sugar on, cheese is also popular, and I think Americans use butter.
Personally I’d love if we could have something more spicy.
Serious question: Is this legit? Elon and his Nazi buddies are running fake voter registration sites
