The blue states just need to enact malicious compliance. They could declare a floating public holiday called voting day, pay electoral staff penalty rates and make it a law that all workers required to work that day are given paid time off to attend a nearby voting station. They could setup a time slot booking system that lets people nominate a voting station and a timeslot with information about how many people are attending at that time so they can make informed decisions about when to attend. Could they impose a tarrif (apparently it's not a tax) on political parties so that a percentage of their donations need to go to supporting the local elections. Republican billionaires want to buy elections? Whoops all democracy.

Stupid fucks overthrowing democracy off of a technicality.
If we do not prosecute and hang 4-10 people in particular for treason then we have failed.
Another obscenely fascist sycophantic ruling from the morally destitute GOP majority on the US Supreme Court
Can we kill them now? Like if they keep taking away our rights are they really rights anymore?
If it's this easy to "overthrow a democracy", you never had a democracy.
Right?! It only took a superpower and a significant fraction of the world's wealth (tied up in billionaires) and complete control over the media and a blackmail network built-out over several generations, all orchestrated over half a century, to do it!
Your point saying it was easy to overthrow, was that it was hard to overthrow?
As to your second point, yes capitalism hurt person. Nothing is strong enough to withstand those kind of attacks though. If there was any form of government yet invented that could, it would have been tried at some point and we'd still have it.
And yet things can still be better or worse, even under capitalism.
Unsigned ruling what the fuck. Put your names on your votes, pussies
If you know anyone that still supports this admin fart in there general direction
They're taking away my speech with their intimidation tactics with ICE/FBI.
They've now taken away my ballot box with this blatant unconstitutional ruling from a bunch of corrupt Republicans.
What do conservatives say about that other box again?
People have the rhetoric of turning to the ammo box since the other 3 don't seem to work anymore, but there doesn't seem to be much coming about from it. If the rhetoric isn't actually materializing, then people must be consenting to having their rights taken away. In that case, the ballot box is delivering exactly what the people want.
Sharing information is a whole hell of a lot more useful than whatever it is you think you're doing.
And really the people here reading that comment are aware people. Keyboard warriors are not the problem. It’s the droves of unaware or uncaring folk out there that are the problem. Media (the wealthy) do not want them to know, so they remain unaware or ambivalent whilst democracy gets ripped and torn to shreds for profit and power. Blech.
