We voted absentee today.

They did not ask us to prove our citizenship, but we were ready.

Cleta Mitchell’s election denial network releases new blueprint to severely restrict voting

It outlines a vision that would transform voting from a fundamental democratic right to a complicated, rule-bound process accessible only to those who can navigate a maze of requirements.

Only people to believe are producing results. You don't have to believe people ahead of time. There's no requirement to trust ahead of time. By #voting for somebody you're already giving them more trust than they probably deserve. Most have abused it. Why believe somebody until they prove?

It hasn't gotten as much coverage, but the Georgia Gov(R) just signed a law that the metro-Atlanta areas are not allowed to show part affiliation on ballots. Specifically, the 5 largest counties (Gwinnett, Fulton, Dekalb, Cobb, Chattem). Fani Willis says she is going to fight against this.

I suspect this happens a lot - confusion & misinfo caused by the fact that some localities allow non-citizen residents to vote on local issues, causing a wrong belief among non-citizens that they can vote in any election.

I do not believe for 1 second that any migrant who's made the extraordinary sacrifices it takes for them to make it to America would put their ability to remain here at risk by knowingly trying something guaranteed to get them extradited.
