Lol, nonpartisan. Mostly drawing unfair conclusions from limited data. The most laughable part: Is it really that hard to believe democrats have a wider margin of victory in California?
The various systems of voter registration are long-standing problems in the US. It is rarely brought up by all the people shouting about "voter fraud" and "stolen elections" though, because it doesn't suit their narrative. There are also few efforts from politicians of any hue to seek to address these issues, largely because that whenever any efforts are made, their political opponents (regardless of who that is) makes a big partisan issue out of it and shuts down any kind of real discussion or progress. The core to solving many of the US election issues remains the same it always has done. Establish truly independent electoral commissions to manage the entire process, from registration to results, removing the partisan politicians from the process entirely. Good luck getting those partisan politicians (and their equally partisan supporters) to agree to that though.
Agreed, but commissions must work within the law, which is written by partisan interests. Even a national standard would be partisan.
Sure, you're never going to eliminate that entirely but this could be a significant improvement. This could also be part of the process of breaking the highly binary and partisan nature of US politics and society in general. The fact is that the US remains quite extreme among stable democratic nations on how much direct control elected politicians have over the election process. What US citizens have come to just accept as normal often appears clearly ridiculous from the outside.
I dont take new blogs seriously when they quote sources and when you check the source the claim says: As many as 5.7 million noncitizens may have voted in the 2008 election, which put Barack Obama in the White House. "May have voted....." Get back to me when you have real evidence, not a survey based on assumptions.
