    The posts:

    “The Democrats have given us another option. You don’t have to register to vote,” Musk’s mother wrote in the Oct. 5 post. “On Election Day, have 10 fake names, go to 10 polling booths and vote 10 times. That’s 100 votes, and it’s not illegal. Maybe we should work the system too.”

    Yes it’s illegal.

      have 10 fake names, go to 10 polling booths and vote 10 times. That’s 100 votes

      Does she think you can just add a bit of facial hair and no one will know it’s the same person, like they’re trying to trick Vader or something? Poll workers aren’t fucking stupid, you’re going to get recognized.

    “Appears”? What a cowardly bullshit headline.

      I think if I was accusing the mother of the richest asshole on the planet, who literally sued advertiser for not advertising after telling them, “fuck off,” I’d be pretty careful how I said it, too.

    “On Election Day, have 10 fake names, go to 10 polling booths and vote 10 times. That’s 100 votes, and it’s not illegal. Maybe we should work the system too.”

    That’s not the way any of this works…

    Even in states with same day voter registration:

    10? 100? Those are rookie numbers, some elections I’ll spend my entire day voting, 8 hours a day if I can.

    I can get my voting time down to <30 seconds if I bring a pre-filled out stack of ballots.

    If only I lived in a swing state, I’m just voting for myself over and over

    I didn’t realize the unfortunate collection of atoms referred to as “leon” had a mother. I assumed it coalesced out of the warm santorum between Peter Thiel and JD Vance.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
