    Republicans hate voting, they show us every chance they get. Half of governing as a republican is making voting more difficult.

    Bullshit. Voting has never been difficult. You get off your ass and go to the polls on election day. Done deal. There is nothing in the constitution that says anything about accomodating those who cannot figure that out.
    Sorry you find it a chore.

    I don’t live in a republican state, I drop my ballot off anyplace in the county on Election Day if I forget to mail it out before. Some of us have jobs and small kids, why on earth should a busy life mean maybe I don’t vote?

    Would you feel the same way if there was only one polling place per county on Election Day?

    1A. Is it part of the ingrained victim mentality of [many] lefties, to think everything is malicious and specifically aimed at them?

    1B. Why do lefties act like they're the only ones who vote absentee?

    2. Why is a special absentee ballot drop off site even needed? You can mail them, or just go to your voting precinct and, you know, vote there.

    3. I'm a lifelong Independent and an absentee voter, should I have my panties in a twist too? Or are only leftie voters supposed to be outraged at the OP?

    Inquiring minds want to know :p

    I raised 5 kids in CA and brought them with me to vote. I even let them press the inkavote thingy. Why not let them experience the process?

    "It's too far"

    "I'm too busy"

    "I have kids"

    "I need a special absentee ballot drop off site"

    Damn, lefties must not hate Trump as much as they say they do, if these things are going to prevent them from voting, LOL!

    The amount of survivorship bias in defenders of this is astounding.

    They’re too young but I fully plan to go over the ballot with them like my dad did...here at home
    Not that you’re on topic, why should there be fewer places to drop ones ballot?

    Concentrating ballots in a box clearly marked "Ballot Drop Box" is just plain stupid.

    If you can protest and riot, you can wear a mask and vote in person

    Good times. Make sure you send them to school wearing the "I Voted" sticker afterwards! The case against concentrating ballots in a container clearly marked "Ballot Drop Box" is not a hard one to make. At least extremists on either side don't know which mail boxes contain ballots.

    So having more ballots in fewer boxes is better?

    Ballot Drop Boxes concentrate more ballots into fewer containers that might as well have a target painted on them.

    Why does this bother the left since Texas is a red state?
