Lehigh Valley Health has a hospital nearby and so does Geisinger-St Luke's in Orwigsburg. Additionally there are multiple family practice clinics that are used to catering to geriatric patients. Healthcare availability has improved in that area outside of urgent care. I work for Geisinger and we had to close our UC and the MedExpress that was there closed awhile back too.

Because unlike countries like Brazil, we have a major political party dedicated to making voting as hard as possible for people. Brazil held its presidential election via phone-based voting, and their country didn't collapse. But no, we have to do it in person on a shit weekday most of the time. Also, voter ID ought to just be your state ID or license, not a specific seperate ID, which also sounds unconstitutional.

Please show me any evidence you have of any noteworthy proportion of the GOP wanting to "kill" anyone? I'm interested in the heaps of evidence you must have. I will remain open-minded as I review whatever you choose to submit in support of what I can otherwise only conclude is a ridiculous straw man argument.

E: I love when people get to reply to me and don't have to remain open to any reply that might counter their position. Wow. But, in reply to u/jesterwords:

Interesting, I see the scumbags in your article employed a rather familiar technique some in this thread may recognize: baselessly accusing your opposition of being a Nazi. ;)

I read that article. It objectively paints a very damning picture of DuPont and many DuPont execs, but beyond that, the article's support for the argument, here, that the GOP wants to "kill" people (on the level of Nazis, who quite literally slaughtered millions of innocent people) is extremely weak. If you went to the effort of proving every legislator who fell for DuPont's lobbying was GOP, it still wouldn't make it reasonable to call the GOP Nazis or even say that they want to kill people. Falling for billions of dollars of industry lobbying happens to Democrats, too - and gun control is an incredibly easy example of that. And falling for lobbying and making policy based on lobbying is more of an argument against Capitalism as a system than it is an argument that the GOP wants to kill anyone.

Since Reddit likes to allow the BS replies but then blocks me from countering.... u/Patiod: I need proof that anyone, but especially any noteworthy proportion of the GOP, is in a "Save the children, literally kill Democrats" mentality. Otherwise I can't move forward in this discussion with you.

IIRC, when the PA GOP proposed instituting voter ID several years ago, PA democrats said yes, with the caveat that the ID be free. The PA GOP refused that caveat.

For me, it all boils down to any kind of barrier to voting based on paying for the right, or having to pass a literacy test, or having to pass a history test.

And lets be clear here...they were found. The lack of a Voter ID system did not help anyone get away with voter fraud.

That's a lovely straw man you've made in order to argue against a simplistic generalization you've made in your head. Perhaps you're an intelligent person and your anger, coupled with encouragement from the up-votes of the Reddit hive mind, has simply prevented you from making a calm and reasonable argument. Try again! I'll wait.

When the GOP stops wanting to kill my grandmother for being brown-skinned, a Hispanic-American, and a Catholic, and stops wanting to wipe out my Jewish friends and relatives, and stops hating me for being a bisexual trans person, then they won't be Nazis.

Also they support and continue the genocide of LGBT folks with their "gay conversion" camps and actively encourage hunting trans children in schools.

Doug Mastriano is a reactionary christian theocrat who wants to abolish separation of church and state to push his warped views on everyone. He believes joe biden stolen the 2020 election and he paid for busloads of fascists to storm the capitol on january 6th which he was also at himself. He believes america is a "christian nation" that is "waging battle" against "evil". He openly rejects that the term "white nationalist" is bad. He is a fascist, plain and simple.

Small and very average. Not diverse at all. A lot of recent development but would consider it more rural.

Not sorry for being politically incorrect. Shove the both sides bullshit. The people who hate immigrants, jews, brown people, and women are called nazis. They are a danger and a scourge. Just wait til they shoot out your local power station on a cold winter night.

I am happy about this ruling too, but calling the opposing party Nazis ad nauseum is kinda.... nauseating. Are they out slaughtering millions of innocent people? No. They're espousing political positions you disagree with. Here, they were arguing for something rather stupid - releasing voter personal information to some 3rd party. Still not genocide. Still not an attempt to topple the democratic governments of all of their geographic neighbors.

And they think the left is the Nazis. They look at how one right which is explicit in the Constitution can be broadly infringed by Democrat-led attacks while the Democrats demand recognition for a right which is not explicit in the document but exists in the penumbra.

So can we please temper the "Everyone but us is literally Hitler" nonsensical reaction crap?

Because how would they cheat ? They’re as stupid as their entire party is. The party of morons

I just hope when you don’t get the candidate of your choice you remember what you said about the voting process.

How do you know ? If they don’t ask for ID or anything else how can you say for sure there was none? I remember when trump won Hillary and every other dem said there was voter fraud . Now that mr mumbles won now everything was good. Please give it a rest

Yep. VA doesn’t mess around.

I have no problem with voter ID in and of itself; however, Republicans have been using the issue as a tool of disenfranchisement. Until that ends, I'll fight against changing the methods Pennsylvania has been using securely for years now.

>Why does it take 2 days to count votes?

Because of the concessions the Republicans in the legislature demanded when it comes to counting mail-in ballots.

Someone needs to prove that there was fraud in the first place. We already have many safeguards in place to ensure it doesn’t happen and they work.

Widespread voter fraud did not happen. There is no effort “to ensure this doesn’t happen again” because the system is designed to ensure is doesn’t happen to begin with.

Source: worked in a county elections office for over a decade.

So let’s get this clear. u/Timewasted11222 has seen absolutely no evidence whatsoever of any voting impropriety, but they’re still angry because their God Emperor told them to be angry, so they’re insulting OP.

After 60+ failed lawsuits, only the most gullible moron on Earth would still beileve Trump’s Big Lie.

You already produce ID to register to vote and to have your absentee or mail in ballot counted.

It’s like showing your ID to enter the liquor store and again to check out.

Then why won't the Democrats support free IDs? Life without an ID is next to impossible, the election security aspect is like the least of the problems it would fix.
