I like it.
I see that you don't know the difference between mail-in ballots and absentee ballots. Get back to me when you are better informed.
It was the Biden miracle dontchyaknow!
COVID.
^Thinks Presidents win based on popular voting.
This did not affect current production, it was about sales of new oil and gas leases (which a federal judge blocked).
I see that you don't know the difference between mail-in ballots and absentee ballots. Get back to me when you are better informed.
I'm informed enough to know they are essentially the same in many states. Other than those states that use mail-in ballots for everyone, other states may call it an absentee ballot but anyone can request one with little or no conditions attached.
^Thinks Presidents win based on popular voting.
Candidates rarely win the electoral college without also winning the popular vote. The 2016 Trump miracle was one of those rare occasions.
WRONG.
WRONG.
Trump miracle? You really are an uninformed douche aren't you?
SIX Presidents have won without the popular vote. The few times Republicans won with the popular vote were landslide type elections. Do you understand why we don't have popular vote elections for the Presidency? You won't find a lot of blue on this map:

The problem with the Electoral College and presidential elections is allowing states to have a WINNER TAKES ALL option- leaving the candidate without the most votes NO VOTES AT ALL to accumulate!
But, that problem is rectifying itself as more states move away from the WINNER TAKES ALL option.
A federal law would certainly make the WINNER TAKE ALL go away!
But looks like more and more states are pursuing this on their own!
Several responsible states are negotiating the idea already as we speak!

Based on studies of past presidential elections if electoral votes were based on a proportion of popular votes there would have been more presidents who won the electoral vote with less popular votes.
WRONG.
Nope, you need to do some research on mail-in and absentee ballots.
Twenty-six states and Washington, D.C., offer "no-excuse" absentee voting, which means that any voter can request and cast an absentee/mail ballot, no excuse or reason necessary.
Eight states conduct elections entirely by mail (California, Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Vermont and Washington), which means voters do not need to request a ballot, and instead automatically receive one.
The remaining states require a voter to provide an excuse to qualify for an absentee/mail ballot. Excuses such as out of county, illness, etc. are not verified; so, they are essentially "no excuse" states.

The people of this country are going to have to decide if Democracy is something we want to move closer to- or farther from!
Since we are the leaders of the FREE WORLD- we must decide what kind of example we are going to be moving forward- and just how important being the leaders of the Free World means to us!
Now that Democracy is actually on the ballot- and has been since the onset of the Trump era- MORE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO PARTICIPATE AND VOTE THEIR HEARTS ON THESE MATTERS.
I trust the Vocal and Voting Majority to get this right!

It is actually a right.
So is flying an airplane, sailing a ship, walking, riding a bicycle, riding a horse, driving a tractor, using a skateboard, using a Segway, or any other method of getting around.
Licensing is only to show competence for certain devices such as cars or aircraft. If you can show that you can operate the vehicle safely according to the law, the state MUST give you the license. They have no choice.
On you own land, of course, the state has NO say. NO law can prevent you from driving a car, truck, or tractor on your own land, for example.
States have authority to require a license (showing competency) for certain limited things, outlined in their own constitutions. If it is not in their constitution, they CANNOT REQUIRE A LICENSE.
States have agreed to the 2nd amendment when they joined the Union. Their own constitutions also typically echo such rights for the people to keep and bear arms. They cannot require a license to use a weapon.
You have many rights. They do not have to be enumerated in any constitution. Rights do not come from a piece of paper.

It does affect current production. Think about it, for once.
You go to the store to buy plywood. You pay a certain price for it. That price is set by the availability of the plywood using futures pricing.
An interruption in the supply of resin used to make the plywood is being caused by some new government regulation.
The price of plywood begins to climb. Current production is still there, but the futures price of it is climbing. Eventually, of course, it will become more difficult to produce, as factories run low on their resin stocks and find they have to import it from another source at higher prices. Production begins to drop, but demand is still there.
Prices go up, possibly quite a lot.
This is what has happened to oil products. Through the actions of Biden, future oil supplies are being curtailed. They are illegal actions, but it is happening anyway. The futures price of oil goes up. It has been doing so since Biden was installed.
You go look at historic futures contract charts for oil and gasoline. Look at the last year.
Oil and gasoline are sold on international markets. The loss of future production because of Biden affects oil and gasoline prices around the world.

No, they are not. You must specifically request absentee status to get an absentee ballot. In many States, this can be quite restrictive on who can claim absentee status.
You STILL HAVE TO REQUEST absentee status.
The President is not elected by popular vote.

There is no problem with the electoral college.
There is no problem with presidential elections (other than the election fault caused by election fraud by Democrats in 2020).
States do not even have to allow a vote at all. See Article II.
Too bad for them. It's supposed to work like that.
It is not a problem, and this is not happening.
The federal government has NO authority here. They cannot override the Constitution of the United States.
Nope. You are hallucinating.
Who are you to say a State is irresponsible? Who made you Judge of the World?

It's not about 'research'. It's about the law and the Constitution.
Which means they MUST REQUEST IT.
Election fraud is a problem in every one of them too. The SOTC no longer conducts elections, other than sham elections. They are an oligarchy, moving towards a dictatorship.
Which means if the excuse does not exist, they registrant committed perjury.

only because that 'supposedly' limited government say so. do you believe that the founders would have thought requiring a license to drive a horse drawn wagon to be a safety concern???
Anchovies, the Second Amendment does not address “lessening accessibility to guns.”
It does address “the right to bear arms.”
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Poor Anchovies.
