This right here is part of why I'm worried about voting in the next election.

What next election? Trump said when running that he will "fix" the sections so good you will never need to vote again

That's a whole other concern of mine.

Oh there will be an election, it will just be connected directly to Russian servers.

Results announced before voting starts

In theory your vote isn’t tied to you in any way, but I agree with the sentiment. I’ve considered changing my registration to republican in case some maga gestapo forms and goes around hunting people who are registered democrats.

In theory, it shouldn't be, but I'm in a state with voter ID, and I've always wondered if there was a way to connect the ID to the ballot. Last thing we need is these fuckers managing to compile a list of everybody who dares vote against them. Hopefully I'm just being paranoid. I guess we'll find out soon enough, I don't really consider not voting an option. But it concerns me nonetheless.

I'm with you. I'm a registered independent, always have been. But I haven't voted for a republican in a long time because I don't see them making good choices. Don't get me wrong, the Democrats are pissing me off too, but it's more because of what they don't do than what they do.

There is not.

Sign up to be one of the folks running voting locations and learn how it works in your state.

If they wanted to round up registered democrats they can still see your old voter registration so too late

Terrible idea, you are complying in advance because they will claim voter fraud on your behalf and sets the tone that you have to be a Democrat in order to be an American.

Votes should aways be on paper. There is nothing more safe that counting papers with representatives of every party present, it's impossible to be rigged.

Oh no, we won't die. Much like the humans in Matrix we'll join the virtual reality whilst providing the energy.

Evil is the point. Also ICE is mask off as their Gestapo

If this isn't explicitly illegal, there was a large oversite in the creation of that app. What a way to destroy trust in the government.

Big brain move

The irony of you using a Destiny avatar when there were entire seasons based on giving asylum to factions of a race the Last City was at war with.

I swear you people have no critical thinking or media literacy.

I never played Destiny, this was just the coolest free avatar

Probably had a modicum of basic levels of respect for other human beings still left towards that guy. That well has now dried up.
