It was a deliberate feature of self-governance, a shared civic ritual that gave every citizen confidence that the process was legitimate. One day. One count. One result.
That principle has been crumbling for years, chipped away by one rule change after another. And now the erosion has reached the highest court in the land.
The Supreme Court just handed down a decision that effectively blesses the slow-drip counting of ballots for days after the polls have closed. The question isn’t just legal anymore. It’s existential.
If elections don’t end on Election Day, when exactly do they end? Apparently, whenever it’s convenient. [Cole Harrison,American Journal]
Good Night, Patriots!

I'm for whatever it takes to get more people to vote in our democracy. That's what a democracy is about, after all, and if you love a democratic system, if you support the right to vote then you support getting as many voters involved as possible and participating. If you don't want everyone to have the opportunity to vote then you do things to restrict voting or to make it more difficult.
Look at how we treat guns. Certain politicians bend over backwards to make sure virtually everyone can get a gun as quickly as possible.
I wish they loved voting as much as they love guns.
@10:29...I'm for AMERICAN CITIZENS VOTING AND SHOWING A PICTURE ID
I thought this blog post was about having elections on one day. That's what my comment was about.
What blog post are you commenting on?
Well we live in a republic! Yes it would be nice if we did have a democracy and that everything was fair and equal to all! You sound like a real blinded hater though full of trump derangement syndrome so praying that you can remove your hate because that hate is what's destroying our country right now! And the hate is all caused by demonic Democrats it's ironic that they have the name Democrats but they're anything less than a Democrat they're just hypocrites and the biggest haters we've ever seen in our lifetimes!
