I'm glad you are happy about that, but we have an unfit president in the oval office. Shouldn't that be a bigger priority?

The two party system gave us the current president, where people felt they had to chose between two flawed options. Trump is not the cause, he's merely the symptom. Fix the cause and you fix the problem.
-
We have an unfit person occupying the WH and the Constitution has an answer to that problem. Why should we wait to fix the problem?
#AdultsInTheRoom -
The answer to that problem in the Constitution is the electoral system (2020). If you are referring to impeachment, it doesn't fix the problem (not to mention the high burden of proof). Do you want Pence as president? The problem is the corrupt two party system.
-
What about the 25th amendment?
-
That's up to the vice president and cabinet, not Congress or Justin. And, again. You get rid of Trump that way, and someone like him and twice as bad with replace him next time. Address the problem: a corrupt two party system that keeps giving the executive more and more power.
-
Only chance of getting rid of the two party system is the democrats. Period.
-
No, they have showed over and over that they have no interest in doing so. Working side by side with Republicans to make it hard for third parties and independents to appear on the ballot and placing other barriers for their entry.

How is it that only parties can be on the ticket in some states? The Constitution is very clear of the qualifications for federal office and it says nothing about party or $ to enter.

I'm failing to understand the District Court's reasoning in the first place. How would a ban on straight ticket voting disproportionately affect one group over another? I understand why the establishment was against it, but those are political issues, not constitutional ones.
-
So while it doesn't seem like this is a big difference, it has the side effect of suppressing minority votes. I'm actually against party line voting, but then we should double poll workers, voting booths, and number of ballots. We should actually do those 3 things anyway.
-
Great points, and I agree that adding poll workers would help that issue, as would early voting. But I would still argue that any deficiency in that affects anyone whose precinct is maxed at 2,999 voters, not just one race of voter.
-
And on paper that's true, but look at what they just tried to do in Georgia by closing all but a couple precincts in a majority black county under a BS pretense. Luckily that effort failed, but that's the kind of thing that is happening.
-
But if you read what really happened, instead of advocacy reporting, the story is not true
-
What is the real story then? Please share.

GOP officeholder claims GOP rigging the voting law to advantage themselves is a blow to GOP partisanship.
#Gaslighting101 -
I’d call it principles over partisanship, but go ahead and just focus on the letter behind a candidates name.
-
The process by which the bill was passed was extremely partisan. I don't believe that Rep Amash feels that the GOP is a vile institution, and only associates with them out of convenience. His closest allies in Congress are Massie and Paul, who are 100% Trumpers. He's a con man.

Very libertarian of you, to celebrate the government banning people doing something that is entirely within their rights
-
That's a stretch. Libertarians are against unnecessary forced regulations, which this was. Uninformed voters still have the right to vote solely based on party.
-
Allowing people a simple option for voting is not a "regulation" and neither does it involve force. This was an option; something people were allowed to do. Nobody had to vote straight ticket. This was yet another GOP effort to make it harder for people to vote.
-
Lol, if making informed decisions on who to vote for is "hard" for you, then you probably shouldn't be voting.
-
That's the exact same arrogance and derision the GOP uses to justify all their voter suppression activities: if getting a driver's license is hard, you shouldn't be voting; if keeping your registration up to date is hard, you shouldn't be voting. No, PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO VOTE
-
And how pray tell is this preventing people from voting?
