The "saving money" argument is always used to explain the reduction of the number of polling sites but it is not a credible one when considering that only very specific locations are being impacted.
Also, the volume of purged voters is inexplicably high ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORoXanoqXwQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORoXanoqXwQ ) and many troubling irregularities have been reported such as cases of forged signatures: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_k6YAEU-eDE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_k6YAEU-eDE
- daughart 10y agoYouTube isn't a very reputable source. That being said, universal voter registration is the real answer, which sounds like a pretty good idea to me.
- DamienSF 10y agoI don't see why YouTube (the medium) is the problem here. Both reputable or non-reputable sources can post content on YouTube. The first video is an interview of two poll workers expressing their concerns regarding the unusually high number of voters that were removed from the voter roll. There aren't any apparent reason why their testimony should not be considered as credible. The second video shows a voter being shown a document she allegedly signed and that had for effect to switch her party affiliation from Democrate to Republican. However, it seems the signature on this document has been forged. There have been multiple reports of allegedly forged signatures during this election, most of them reported by voters on social media. Here is another example: https://www.facebook.com/groups/518955314959236/permalink/519676198220481/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/518955314959236/permalink/51... Sure the validity of these reports need to be verified but I don't see why they should be dismissed beforehand.
