Even before President Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race, allies of former President Donald Trump floated the possibility of suing to block Democrats from having anyone other than Biden on the ballot in November.
Even before President Joe Biden’s long-speculated withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race, allies of former President Donald Trump floated the possibility of suing to block Democrats from having anyone other than Biden on the ballot in November.
But election administration and legal experts said the timing of Biden’s exit on Sunday makes it unlikely that any Republican ballot access challenges will succeed, with some calling the idea “ridiculous” and “frivolous.” Democrats are on safe legal ground as they identify a new standard-bearer, they say, because the party hasn’t officially chosen its nominee. That typically occurs with a vote of delegates at the party’s convention.
“It’s ridiculous for people to talk about ‘replacing Biden.’ He hasn’t been nominated yet,” said Richard Winger, a leading expert on state ballot access laws and the longtime editor of the “Ballot Access News” newsletter.
Belgium has a population of only 11.7 Million, a population density of 387 per square kilometer, and a whopping 98.8 percent of the population is Urban.
We have 30 times your population, 1/10th of your population density, and 20% less of our population is Urban.
The United States has 28 Million people, more than twice your entire population, that MOVES every year. Over a million people immigrate into the United States every year, meaning we could literally populate your entire nation in just a decade.
All of that means you cannot simply "send everyone a letter".
It's like the old saw "Everything works fine in a small network." So no offense but relatively speaking Belgium is a tiny network compared to what we've got going on in the United States.
Yeah, because people were PUBLICLY angry as hell because they didn't get them. This was common knowledge just 4 years ago and it's still on the IRS website.
We literally are discussing single states. The Federal government doesn't run the voting, it's individual states that do. So all voting improvements literally happen at an individual state level.
Everything works fine in a small network.
what a hilarious excuse for your state being shitty. This is such a tired and untrue trope it isn't even funny anymore, it's just sad.
USA is big therefore they can't have good things is bullshit.
USA has a lot of people to send mails to, but it also has a lot of people to collect taxes from, those taxes pay for the mails.
The cost to send mails should scale linearly with population, just like taxes. Therefore economics is not a problem. If anything, more mails should mean cheaper per mail since economics of scale take place to bring down costs.
Logistics isn't an issue either. Just tell each state to sort it themselves. Each US state has roughly the same population as European countries, and they manage the logistics.
