How about they stop complaining about voter turnout and make it a federal day off for primaries and elections.

[Dr. Truth]

You want more people to vote give them a fucking day off from work not just two hours and stop your fucking complaining. It gives people a chance to vote all day instead of a two hour window. Yet you wonder why people don’t go. Sometimes those lines take longer than two hours and some people who work can’t be waiting until in line for that long, problem solved.

 

[playahaitian]

Sadly people STILL wouldn't go. They ALWAYS find some excuse not to vote. There is early voting in many states and it still doesn't help.

I don't know the answer.

But I strongly believe if you lost the right to vote (unless you RE REGISTER) if you missed 2 election cycles or never voted in a midterms something like that maybe?

I just don't understand the REAL reason people are too lazy to vote.

Repubs would never allow it...the plan is to make it harder to vote

^^^^

Exactly.

I understand not trusting politicians

But I never understood supporting the SIDE that actively and furiously tries to STOP Black folk from voting for decades.

If this was ANY other situation? limited edition Designer clothes, sneakers, cars, restaurant, music... if white folks tried to limit or block us? We would rush the gates to get it.

Especially Black folks?

We would WANT to do the thing that the other side DOES NOT WANT US TO DO.

But for some reason when it comes to VOTING?

We like...nah yall can HAVE THAT.

It just doesn't make sense.

My suggestion is not to do a national holiday in the traditional sense, such as closing government functions and offices, thus encouraging private business to do the same. Instead offer a voting tax credit for those that cast a ballot. Would you turn out if you could get an easy, extra $100 from the IRS?

I don't know how I would feel about kinda sorta paying for votes.

I'm voting regardless local and midterms included. And I feel most don't need that incentive. I really wish people would just be honest about why they choose not to. Is ain't just disillusionment.

It's something more. I just can't figure it out.

But your idea isn't BAD at all and might just work.

 

[blackpepper]

Some people don't ever vote because they haven't thought it through enough to see how it affects their actual lives. Even if they understand the implications and intend to, when they're tired, broke, or the weather's bad etc..., they may skip it and think next election they will, or that one time they don't, it won't matter. Giving people a little more reason to push on through a bad day or two and make it to the polls or return they're early ballot on time would make a significant difference. The problem is that most people setting election policy will oppose any effort to get more people to vote, much less providing a clear economic incentive to do so. Would it really be that expensive, no, but they'll fight it with everything they've got.

 

[shaddyvillethug]

Has the OP even early voted?

1 vote

I also think a person, if they are a citizen, should be automatically registered to vote once they turn 18. No reason not to be….

While 2 parties play good cop/bad cop...the elite goal has always been to keep us all dazed/confused and oblivious to how their system aka "the great american experiment" is actually strategically designed to exclude as many as possible from any political action..Especially folks on the bottom.
