For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

I refuse to learn whatever the fuck "ballot curing" is.

What a piece of shit.

I think it's supposed to be a good thing. A thing they'd generally fight against, if I have it correct. It might be where you are given the opportunity to correct a mistake on the outside of your mail in ballot, maybe other areas too. Nothing illegal. Just correcting simple mistakes. Mistakes that can often easily been seen as mistakes. But at other times these guys argue that the mistakes should stand. Anything to fuck people until they need it!

"I found out my wife voted for Kamala behind my back, that's a mistake that needs to be fixed."

Wow, if they spending money on ballot curing, those internal Trump polls must have scared the crap out of them.

Anybody with even the slightest hint of celebrity should be categorically banned from having anything to do with elections and be immediately arrested if they try, especially cunts like Musk that are actively interfering with votes.

If the poll worker denied you your ballot for whatever reason you can still demand a provisional ballot, by law. Curing is the term for submitting/making the ballot official. So fighting against it is part of the rights effort to disenfranchise/suppress voters.

It's not quite that. They're trying to track down Republican voters who might need to cure their ballots, and try to push them to show up and cast a provisional ballot. It's one of the least efficient ways to turn money into votes that exists.
