Hearing For Bill To Change Laws On Early Voting, Drop Boxes Gets Contentious

[TexasTowelie]

A Republican-backed bill that would allow ballot dropboxes only at boards of elections for 10 days before the election and would shorten the window to request early ballots got its first hearing in a House committee.

Republicans in nearly all states have put forward election law changes after the 2020 vote. More votes were cast in Ohio in 2020 than ever before, and early voting numbers were historic too.

Reps. Bill Seitz (R-Cincinnati) and Sharon Ray (R-Medina) don’t dispute President Biden’s win and say Ohio, which went for former president Trump, had a fraud-free vote last year.

But the tension in the hearing on this new bill started early. After explaining his bill, Seitz noted Democrats, who are in the minority, have introduced their own proposals.

3. It seems

that the RepubliCON party knows no other way than to cheat on the elections.

They should make it part of their platform!

Every time I read or hear some vomitous bile come out of a Repub's mouth I bounce it off my personal 1 - 2 - 3

#1) It is a flagrant lie

#2) It is pure hypocrisy

#3) It is 180 degrees from the truth or reality........

2. One more secessionist step in deconstructing a democratic process into restricted access.

This goes well beyond redefining Ketchup as a vegetable in the scheme of re-labeling and reordering one-person-one vote into "only those votes and voters WE approve of."

4. The Heritage Foundation is writing

the voting suppression, who certifies the vote laws for all the states.

5. The drop box limits may hurt republican early voters more.

In my county, about 90% of minorities live within 3 or 4 miles of the BOE. That leaves the suburbs to go without, requiring a 10 mile drive to drop off ballots. Rural voters would suffer access the most, and we know how they vote.
