    Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, France, South Korea, Japan were all essentially private booths. Should be standard.

    UK was a bit of a cluster, Philippines had doors sometimes, Italy was almost like America at least around Florence when I was there 20 years ago




  • Wild take.

    The house is almost tied. That’s who passes bills, handles impeachments, some of the most powerful committees are.

    218 Republicans, 213 Democrats.

    Let’s see, take New York for example.

    26 representatives total, 19 Democrat and 7 Republican.

    5 of those were within 2 points last time their seat was up.

    People who think that New York is blue, their vote doesn’t matter, skips the votes for the House and Senate and end up losing a Blue house seat but later complain that nothing changes are literally the fucking problem.

    Let me spell it out for ya…

    Every. Fucking. State. Is. Like. This.

    Apathetic morons who don’t realize that the president is only held accountable by the other branch of government then wave their hands around when they did jack shit to help put people in place to, are the fucking problem.

    District 3 of California was lost by 24,000 votes. District 22 was lost by 3,000.

    Those two seats in the house, along with the close ones in New York, Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Washington, hell every state… Are what makes the House of Representatives or breaks it.

    So, if you think that your vote for president doesn’t matter, so you skip voting and let these other seats slip, yes, you’re a fucking moron who can’t grasp basic concepts of government that are taught in 4th grade.

    And don’t get me started on the State House/Senates, how they define voting laws and voting zones and engage in gerrymandering.

    Every fucking vote counts.
