I am so often amazed by what a maze the US political system seems to be. I voted for the first time last month. I got my voting card in the mail, (without having to ask for it). I brought it to my designated polling place and stood in line for a bit. I voted. I could also have gone to my local library and voted, any day of the week, for like a month prior to the election.

The fact that voting seems to be such an ordeal in america is fucked up.

American democracy is Amish democracy. We use a 250-year-old system because TRADITION.

Also any attempt to change it would open the gates for the barbarians.

It's not accidental that it's this way. The Georgia Secretary of State was going to close like two thirds of the precincts in a poor majority black county. Also he's running for governor. Also I live in Georgia
