What annoying about this information is that we can't say who did that. Is it Harris to trump or trump to Harris or those who voted for other options.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

"How to de-extinct the dodo"
Dr John Hammond has entered the chat
I honestly think we should have a 20 question multiple choice basic 8th grade civics quiz before people are allowed to vote. We no longer have an electorate that's informed enough to be capable of voting. Score 60% or higher on that quiz or get the fuck out of the booth.
Edit: I'm incorrect, there's no national requirement that I can find. In CA we can't finish 8th grade without studying and passing a civics test covering this material: https://www.ixl.com/standards/california/social-studies/grade-8. So yeah, I amend my opinion - these standards should be followed nationwide.
So completely disenfranchise the poor and working class whose education system has been purposefully destroyed by the ruling class, and only let the ruling class vote?
Or maybe actually give them a civics education? I'm behind a free online basic civics class every 2y that gets you a $250 credit on your taxes or something. There has to be a reason to actually take it and pay attention.

Well, maybe the second amendment people can do something about it.
I want to see searches of "is it too late to cast my vote?"
Guess pitchforks are not on the table yet
