Hi!Maybe you would know? I've been trying to figure out or estimate how often Rome [the masses] rioted and effected leadership change both during the republic days, and post republic, caesar days. I can find some texts in re aristocrats using bread & circuses during the post-republic to keep popular public support. Well that and rumor-mongering.[this all sounds so familiar, argh.]
Thankfully my polling place doesn't usually have a line but I usually print off the sample ballot and go over it then. I just forgot that time. My city now does mail in for the city elections and that's wonderful. I hope when they work out the kinks (it's still new), they extend it statewide.
See, 'cause Republicans only want the RIGHT people voting, where as Democrats want EVERYONE voting, so clearly, it's a disgusting liberal power grab because if everyone can vote, they might make the WRONG CHOICE and then Baby Jesus and George Washington will cry and cry and cry.
Plus, in Ohio anyway, you run into trouble when you get to the voting booth: how do you even know which Board of Education candidate to vote for? Or whatever poorly-advertised race that you didn't even know was going to be on the ballot, and all you've got are names?
The other year, I had to choose from between three BoE candidates, and all the ballot gave me was their names. But since it was a mail-in ballot, I was at home and could Google for more information. One candidate's big thing was teaching more "patriotic" history, another candidate's goal was making teaching more cost-effective; and the third just wanted to make sure teachers are well-paid and have the resources to do their job. I'm glad I was able to make an informed decision; thank you mail-in ballots!
Colorado is all vote-by-mail, and we have the safest voting system in the country.

Personally, I like making voting just inconvenient enough that it's slightly harder to vote than not to. That doesn't require anything more than making a person actually request a ballot. It's no obstacle at all if you are interested in voting, but it's enough to keep the uninterested from bothering.

You're not a citizen, however.

Yes, I am aware of that, thank you. My point is that a legal resident, who pays taxes here and is allowed to work here *ought to be* able to vote.
You are absolutely right in regard to there not be any Crue without there first having been Zeppelin, one of the greatest rock bands evah.
Riot? How about general strike. https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...
OMG! Lady MS’s grandfather used to sing the original to her on road trips:)
Also too, Colorado has no vote-by-mail problems, and we have the safest voting system in the nation. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/paloma/the-cybersecurity-202/2018/05/10/the-cybersecurity-202-how-colorado-became-the-safest-state-to-cast-a-vote/5af317c930fb042db5797427/

So in conclusion, mail-in ballots plus legal weed make for good election security.
