>Nobody said it was "ideal". Sheesh. But nobody has found a better way. I mean, there are plenty of people who have found a better way. They get pushback from folks who think testing is the end-all-be-all of knowledge assessmen

I think there are a lot of "W3 revisionists" or people who are otherwise maybe too young to remember the mid-90s but from what I remember there were plenty of people who saw the potential of the internet. Twelve years after the we

That's great for you! That doesn't really have any bearing on the documented reality of republican disenfranchisement of voters. Sometimes 'common media talking points' are talking points because a real and serious probl

Why would you do it before major elections if it's just about book keeping? You could purge them a month after mid-terms and a month after general Presidential because those get the most turnout. When you purge your voter roles becomes

No, I mean our Secretary of State audits the election every time we have one and rarely to never finds fraudulent votes. Voter fraud is high-risk, low-reward behavior in a developed nation-state.

There are two things that could alleviate the problem without disenfranchising voters. One, don't purge voter roles right before major elections. Two, allow for same day registration updates. You show up, they find you in the system at

It depends on where you are. In my state (Oregon), voting is easy and secure. We vote by mail as a default and if you move and don't get your ballot, you can go to any voting office and request all the way up until when polls close on

My state in the US (Oregon) has had universal mail-in voting for two decades and we don't have any voter fraud to speak of. There isn't really a debate here. Anyone complaining about voter fraud is uninformed or purposefully makin

The animals that traditionally hunt the deer aren't aggressive to humans. It's trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. Most apex predators are hunted out of existence to protect the marginal amounts of cattle they kill.

I agree that there are issues with GPA too, but despite saying that it's easier to take one test than it is to maintain a high GPA throughout high school, that's opinion. Teachers can work with over extended students to help them

From my experience it's that moderately well-off to well-off older folks rarely recognize that the opportunities that enabled their lifestyle don't exist anymore. For example, when I was in high school, I was told that just gettin
