The recent transformation of the state’s election laws explicitly enabled citizens to file unlimited challenges to other voters’ registrations. Experts warn that election officials’ handling of some of those challenges may clash with federal law.
Usually isn’t any penalty.
I also did a quick Google search and it looks easy AF.
Just need money to buy the datasets and rudimentary SQL knowledge to run a query.
Having to register to be able to vote is so silly to begin with.
In light of the fact that the US has no national ID, and the Constitutional ban on poll taxes, combined with the requirement individual states run their own elections, registration is the best option there is.
We need a way to ensure people are eligible to vote, and a way to ensure people only vote once. A big list of “people who can vote” is the answer.
That said: getting on the list should be easy. Removing someone from the list should be hard.
I feel like this is under-thinking it a bit, but bear with me:
Birth certificate: Added to the list.
Death certificate: Removed from the list
Then it’s just a matter of checking age and voting in the correct precinct.
Birth certifications and death certifications aren’t universal. There’s plenty of cases where someone doesn’t have a birth certificate, or a death certificate is issued in error, while the individual is still eligible to vote.
And, as a general thought experiment: How many people live in the same state, much less voting precinct, when they turn 18 that they did when they were born? How do you track that?
Oh yeah the same state with the illegitimate republican governor that oversaw his own election.
Theyre all about the sanctity of elections
Just for the record. Dems can do this too. Guarantee some of these trumpets have a lake home and a real home and it would be pretty easy to challenge residency.
Assuming that their challenge law is simple, which if someone challenged 100,000 voters it kinda seems to be.
Fyi. Someone tried this in Montana in the 2000s and was chided out of court.
If there’s no penalty for false challenges, Democrats should challenge every Republican registration.
Fuck that. Let’s run a script to programmatically file challenges for all Republican voter registrations. If they really want to play this game, I am down to clown, motherfuckers.
