Many states make it illegal to bring any kind of weapon to a protest.

It's almost like the market for SUVs is much broader than for two seater sports cars (because ain't nobody riding comfortably in the back of a pony Mustang).

It doesn't need to be a good answer. It just needs to be an answer.

Because it's an electric SUV and not a pony car. It's an entirely different vehicle, apart from the name slapped on it.

Group policy.

Because any time anything changes in Windows, people bitch about it.

The US federal government does not operate elections. States do, and they all do it a little differently. However, so far as I am aware, each state only requires you to register once, and applies all the different districts from your address. Even so, US House districts also depend on your address within a state; those are not statewide offices.

There are many different voting districts, each one depending on where you live, and they overlap and don't in all sorts of ways. It's not just "what state do you live in".

Mmm capitalism is definitely bad.

If the process in this Tennessee county is as described in the article, it's not unfair. Playing fuck around with voter registrations that have no issues is something else entirely.

I said I was old; I didn't say I was sensitive. I just have my finger on the pulse of the aged.

And don't get me wrong, there's definitely a whole lot of active and open malice towards trans people. It's a good idea to consider these kind things with suspicion first, because your safety may be in question. Even with this comparatively benign incident, there's a safety aspect: if a trans person answers truthfully, well, that's on record somewhere now, isn't it? Who has or will gain access to that information, and what might they do with it?

Be careful. Make the decisions that keep you the safest. Don't burn up all your mental effort on plain outrage. You will need it for action.
