     @Infoseepage @RickiTarr I agree that there should be in-person options for voting, but it seems impractical to staff a voting center 24 hours a day for a week. I don’t know how other states do the staffing of voting centers, but most of the workers at voting centers in California are volunteers, with only a few paid workers.

     @RickiTarr It's one of many reasons I support robust in person voting with at least a week long voting period, as well as mail in balloting and not just one or the other. People need to be able to cast their ballots secretly and for that they need to be able to get away from abusive partners (and control and the taking away of choice is abuse) and vote.

     @RickiTarr Exclusively by mail systems also result in disenfranchisement of people with certain disabilities as well as people experiencing homelessness (including veterans). I support a strong mixed system with low wait times for in person and extended hours/early voting (because not everyone works 9-5). If you want to vote at 3am a week before the election, you should be able to do so.

     @EricFielding @RickiTarr To me, voting should be built to be extremely robust. I support representative governance, but imo polling mechanisms should be capable of polling the electorate at short notice any time of year in the event of emergencies or issues where things have clearly shifted. I support voter initiated recall of representatives, for instance.

     @Thumptastic3 @Kierkegaanks @RickiTarr He and others like him need to be made examples of, convicted, and lose their own right to vote (in many states you can’t vote if you’ve been convicted of a crime involving election subversion even if the crime was a misdemeanor). This is by far the most common type of “voter fraud” going on and should be a real concern for voting rights advocates. Too bad police work to preserve white supremacist patriarchy, not justly enforce laws.

     @Kierkegaanks @RickiTarr Actually, the implication is that he has done this. He's admitting to committing crimes.

     Rich Felker repeated this.

     @RickiTarr isn’t that illegal? not that cops would come and “talk” to the husband somewhere dark

     @kagan @Infoseepage @RickiTarr I am sure that increased hours of voting is low if not last priority for the GOP.

     @EricFielding @Infoseepage @RickiTarr We staff police stations 24 hours a day for much longer than a week at a time. Surely we can find enough tax money to pay election workers for this.
