But this is because it is so easy to vote any other way, it's just not needed.

I am not sure what the ID requirements are, but it is usually a very small amount of people who do that.
This scheme avoids the whole postmarked envelope issue. Colorado does not allow ballots that arrive after election day, pet peeve of some idiots.

Even if you go to polling place on election day, you just drop off your sealed ballot envelope (or up to 10).
On top of that, we have same day registration. You can register right there at the polling place, no problem.

Every primary and general a ballot arrives in the mail, you fill out and drop it off at the myriad of drop boxes. Every library, court, rec center, city/county building, etc. has a drop box in front of them.

Registration form has a box to check if you are a citizen, so non citizens know not to fill it. You provide DL number (or some other ID, don't remember all of them) and last 4 of social, and that's enough data to verify citizenship by the county. So, it is already taken care off! Easy!

This whole thing is so stupid. To begin with, non-citizens don't vote. It's just not a problem. But if I may say so, Colorado has the best system. They register kids in high school automatically when they turn 17. If they will be 18 on the date of the general, they can vote in primaries.

Did anyone ever explained the theory of their case, if taken at face value? Are they saying they deport people who are convicted of those crimes and already served their sentence? Or they deport suspects before due process?

2023 DNA analysis revealed that Ötzi the Iceman (who lived 5,300 years ago) had dark skin, significantly darker than previously thought and far darker than modern Europeans. Researchers determined his skin tone closely matched the actual, dark-colored mummy.

Why blood libel? Why is it always blood libel? And are we to expect a full page apology in WSJ in a couple of years?

And this guy fancies himself an intellectual who is worthy of shaping the minds of impressionable youth. Under his guidance, New College of Florida ranking went from #76 to #135, while spending almost doubled. Clowns, all of them.

Sincere question: how unprecedented is this? I know that press gets occasionally swept up when there are protests. But was US journalist ever indicted in US for doing their job?

I know he is just repeating propaganda points. But taken at face value, this is searing indictment of our education system. Emmer has a law degree, yet he is lacking 3rd grade reading and speech comprehension skills! Shame on you,

Apparently, they also pay $50 to stay the length of the movie at some places. So you also get $$ for a very nice dinner afterwards.

Such a contrast between the demeanor of this nice, articulate retired couple, and the description of absolutely un-American ordeal they had to live through.

The only role of government is to provide safe, legal, affordable health care one way or another.
And hypocrisy is boundless. We will send cops to watch your pregnancy and treat any miscarriage as potential homicide. But if you want prenatal care, we have those OB-GYN robots there ... somewhere.

Regardless of it being 1 year before Roe, they made choice which worked for them in this particular situation. Good for them. The others very happy with different choice. This is private business of a pregnant person. The government has no business here.
