    Dummycrap Governor Fenris did that to us rural Pennsyltuckians, many of whom are Republicans, as of a few years ago. I have to drive about 4x as far now, and stand in a much longer line.

But there can be errors at the polls as well, or did you forget Bush vs Gore. There should be both on site and mail-in voting as well as a national day off in order that everyone has the opportunity to vote at their leisure. The process of participating in their democracy shouldn't be made difficult for working people.
      In my state it is the local officials who make those decisions. So if a polling station was closed in a Democrat district it was the local Democrats who were responsible.

      And the Iowa primaries were run entirely by Democrats. Remember what a fiasco that was? I'm not sure that they ever got the actual totals but instead just kind of estimated.

            Yeah, right --- the only reason you're here is you love being the turd in the punch bowl. I post about all kinds of stuff on all kinds of topics, and have reasonable discussions. You don't.

            You're only here because you're a miserable little anti-Christian bigot who loves to spew forth ignorance, and in profoundly ignorant ways.

            You are the personification of the word .

                Well, if you think that proves your point, you're even dumber than I thought. Or, perhaps, more dishonest.

                      In the states that I'm familiar with in cases like that you can still vote. You get a provisional ballot which only gets counted if the race is close. If it isn't close it hardly matters. But if it is close the provisional ballots get examined to see if they're legitimate and if they are then they're counted.

                        Apparently the parties feel they can't campaign in the current corona-virus environment which is of course a lot better managed than the US.

                          I saw that. But is there any doubt in New Zealand as to the motives behind the delay? Or that the election will proceed and the pm is not just trying to hold onto power?

                            In Australia the government can call an election at any time before a certain date. Provided it’s a Saturday. And not a public holiday. Gives the government a chance to cash in on their popularity if they ever do something good.

                            Voting is compulsory unless you have a good excuse like - you forgot it was Election Day; otherwise you get fined $15.

                                Interesting.... so, "while the going's good, let's extend this administration"? Not such a bad idea, I suppose.
