Good Tuesday, everyone
It’s ya boy Choujin.
2020’s already setting itself to being a shitshow, and the biggest thing folks are talking about is voting. Now, ya boy here embraces the the entire notion of a democratic election by doing our civic duty by voting. Though from what’s been going on with the pandemic and the idea of mail-in voting sounding viable for safety reasons. However, a lot of people are spreading crap that somehow makes certain voting means invalid or some feeling their votes are invalid. Though this is just a bunch of crap that makes my blood boil in this situation. In an election period, the last thing you need is confusion and delay that can delude the outcome of an election.
The first and most annoying thing that boils my blood is that certain political figures and individuals are pushing a narrative that the entire vote by mail is somehow fraudulent and designed to rig the system. Though some have already explained that the method is safe enough and won’t risk being tampered. In fact, they’re known to be the safest thing out there. This narrative is being pushed by these individuals and figures because they fear the outcome may not being in their favor. It can be annoying as hell and poisons the well. Why push lies like this?
But that’s not just the major issue, you got people and others pushing things to get people to not vote. Such as doomers claiming that a conservative court will give a certain president the election. Others will throw their vote away for some petty reason or simply not vote at all. This mess is the real reason why 2016 happened and was a big fat mess to begin with. Folks don’t understand that their voice matters in this situation and by taking it for granted and being overconfident will lead to folks being this way. If it says that one person is ahead than the other, don’t take their word for it until you cast your ballot. Lastly, if you’re upset because you have two people who are corrupt or some other crap, remember that sometimes it’s best to compromise and go with “the lesser of two evils”.
Another addendum is that some folks are turning toward the idea of using “security” to protect ballots. The problem is that by law, coming armed (and voter intimidation) is a felony regardless of your nature or noble intention. Leave that stuff to the professionals please, and not the wanna be posers.
and with that, I’ll leave the following sources here for you so those confused that they can provide you more information here:
https://www.usa.gov/voting
https://www.vote.org/
make sure you know your rights when it comes to voting and be reassured that you and your ballots will be safe. Whether it be by intimidation, sabotage or anything else.
Your vote matters.
