Philadelphia: by this time in 2018 or 2020 - 28,000 of the youth vote had voted.

Today: it was 88,000.

The blue wave is one to be reckoned with.

Republican response: sue, sue, and sue again when they can't win.

Man are they terrified. :smt003 :smt003 :smt003 :smt003

It's already happening.

Republicans sue to disqualify thousands of mail ballots in swing states
https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/2022/11/07/gop-sues-reject-mail-ballots/

The lawsuits coincide with a systemic effort by GOP leaders to persuade voters to cast ballots in person, not absentee

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

How you know the youth voted blue?

Wrong. Pennsylvania law requires absentee ballots to be dated. If not, the vote cannot be counted. And, that's the ruling of the court. These mail-in ballots are not fully dated hence they cannot be counted under the law.

Speaking of lawsuits, it seems it is not only Republicans brings suits in PA, as you claim.

Fetterman campaign files lawsuit over undated mail-in ballots
U.S. Senate candidate John Fetterman and other Democrats filed a federal lawsuit Monday challenging Pennsylvania's plan not to count undated or wrongly dated ballots that have been mailed in.

Why it matters: The issue of mail-in ballots with missing or incorrect dates has become one of the biggest voting disputes ahead of Election Day in the crucial swing state that may tip the balance of power in Congress, per CNN.

Fetterman is facing a close race with his Trump-endorsed Republican rival Mehmet Oz to replace retiring Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.).
Driving the news: Pennsylvania's divided Supreme Court last week ruled in favor of a lawsuit filed by the Republican National Committee and other groups, who argued that state law requires voters to correctly write the date on a return envelope when mailing in ballots.

The court ordered county elections officials to "refrain from counting any absentee and mail-in ballots received for the November 8, 2022 general election that are contained in undated or incorrectly dated outer envelopes.
If you don't date your federal or state tax returns, they will be rejected. But votes should be treated differently because "democracy is on the ballot"?

I took advantage of early voting in my state and voted on Thursday -- straight Republican ticket. I voted for freedom and liberty!

One problem is I think that the ballot may have been faulty. I looked everywhere on the ballot but I found no line to vote for "Democracy" on the ballot.

Glad to see Joe finally admitting that he has shut down drilling. American citizens, remember this when you exercise your vote!

Just another cheating republican rule designed to suppress the vote and invalidate ballots, because they can't win any other way than cheating, because they don't have a decent platform other than hatred, rolling back women's rights, and Trump (Hitler).

Thankfully, the action of voting for democrats (*cough* democracy *cough*) does not mean it has to satisfy what the republican ideas of "democracy" actually are.

Just watching CNN's first exit polling data.

If true, it looks like it's going to be a very bad
night for the Democrats and biden.

Hardly the same logic...

While we're talking about this...why do republicans want to do everything in their power to suppress voters? Because they know they can't win with an even playing field.

Why don't you own up to it? There is no logical reason to throw out votes, especially if, like in California, the date of the election is already printed on the ballot.

There's a novel idea!! Just make sure the date of the election is printed on the ballot in all republican territories!! Problem solved!!

Actually, it is the same logic. A ballot -- like any bearer instrument -- must be filled out correctly to be honored and counted.

Your idea would be fine if folks only voted on one day. But early voting prevents this.

Republicans are not suppressing votes. They simply don'y want illegally cast ballots counted which invalidate legally cast votes. That benefits those who followed the rules. If one votes in person, there is no issue dating ballots!

The first mid-term for a new president is supposed to be a shellacking by the opposition, historically speaking, and the republicans blew it. Yes, we've taken a few tough losses. But this is no red tsunami that was predicted by the right wing media and other media outlets.

Just more proof, in case you needed it, that the GOP is nothing but smoke and mirrors. Reality slaps them in the face once again.

So: one group of voters is denied their votes while another group of voters gets to have them based on relatively minor procedural BS?

How is that not voter suppression, once again?
