Foot Locker to turn its stores into voter registration hubs

[Saltwater60]

This is such bullshit. All these places are pushing so hard for people to vote. I don’t think it should be that easy to vote personally. It should take some effort. This is a push to get the black vote and young vote. Best part is these dumb ass young people are the ones spreading Covid yet they are relying on them to give Biden the win.

"CEO Richard Johnson said the project, run in partnership with the nonprofit Rock the Vote, is an effort to "educate and amplify the voices of today's youth."

TRANSLATION:

Democratically controlled Richard Johnson organizes low (no) security voting site with "non-profit" Rock the Vote, in an effort to take advantage of educationally brainwashed youth so their party can use their blank minds to achieve the lofty and purposeful goals of the democratic party which spawned them.

I fail to see the issue. I'm a fan of ALL people that have legal rights to vote participating if they choose. Making it easy for citizens to exercise any and all of their rights is a good thing.

It's like how the Town of Tonawanda did (maybe still does?) Pistol permits. You have to get 4 people to vouch for you. Why the hell do I need 4 people to vouch for me to exercise a fucking right? It's absurd. I'm not a criminal or felon, I havent even had a speeding ticket or whatever in over 15 years, that should be enough. Putting up fake barriers to any right should be flat out illegal.

is it even legal to vote inside a private property?
I never heard of any election of any country that is not done in a public building whether is a school, library, etc...

My issue is there is only one reason they are doing this and that’s the demonrats are lazy. They are also having voting open for a month or so in many places because the corona virus. If you can go to a foot locker to buy your Nikes you can go to a polling place if you care enough to vote. My issue is they are making it easy for people who don’t really care to vote and doing this to benefit the liberal party. I bet you if this was occurring at hunting stores or gun ranges the liberals would shut it down.

 

[MothMan]

I wanna vote at my gun club!!

 

[BuffNiag]

They are registering people to vote at the store. There is no actual voting taking place at the store.

Probably trying anything to stay relevant. I’m surprised these stores are still open.

That's the thing, it should be happening at all gun stores and ranges. From what I hear, it's very easy to become an official voter registration location.

I too hate that it'll be effective in getting those who aren't going to vote in our favor to vote, but it's getting more people to vote, and that's good for all involved in the long run. If they're all brainwashed lefties. Well, so be it. Then we need to redouble our efforts to get our people to vote.

shall we tweet out that dicks sporting goods is going to be a voting place too ( and a few others ) and see LMAO

 

[Grimscale]

You have to get 4 people to vouch for you.

some counties even require that the people vouching for you reside in that County.
Makes it hard when you've recently moved there and don't know anyone.

In my district we used to vote in the back room of a fairly centrally located farm house, the farmer had a lot of really cool old odds and ends, relics, pictures and such lining the shelves and walls so in the unlikely event you had to wait to vote there was a lot of stuff to occupy your time.
Now we vote at the town fire hall, longer drive, longer lines, not nearly as cool. Central planning, even on a small scale it sucks.

[Saltwater60]

Let me put it this way
Buying a gun was nearly impossible
Applying for a pistol permit was nearly impossible
Adding a gun was hard
Going to church was banned
Your due process was banned
Fuck buying a shirt was banned
It will take me 3 weeks to register a car I buy
But voting, one of the most important things is getting easier and easier. It doesn’t make sense to me. I guess that’s my point and the other is all this is only being done to defeat Trump.
Voting shouldn’t be as easy as turning on the TV. If you’re too lazy then that’s your problem.

Well you didnt let me down.
I agree with everything you said......up until the last line.
What is "fake" about having people go to designated voting areas to assure the legitimacy of our process as much as possible?
It worked for our grandparents who often had no vehicle and had to go miles to vote. They figured it out for decades without bitching.
Now, for $3 you can jump in an Uber and be voting within 30 minutes.

Don't get too wirked up about this people.
The average attention span of young lefties is about the length of a YouTube video.....15 minutes or so.
So, if they register to vote at FL, it is very unlikely they will vote 2 months later. Registering is one thing. Putting down the bong for an hour is another thing.

In the late 1800's people voted in the taverns and were given a free shot by the candidates or associates. Some people when out back where they were given a different hat, jacket maybe some fake glasses or mustage and some coin to go back and vote again and this went on a nr of times.
An international commission found that chavez used similar tactics in Venezuela w/o taverns and far west scenery but some people voted 7 or 8 times with different identities. All very well planned and exexuted by the party.

With the current price of ammo, it might be cheaper to hand out gold bullion instead.

I'm OK with Ranges, etc. registering citizens to vote as well. It's not a partisan issue to me. I think getting more citizens involved is better.

 

[technicalgadget]

Footlocker will conveniently lose all the Republican registrations, therefore, invalidating their vote at the election booth. I wouldn't trust Footlocker with my registration if my foot depended on it.

The article in question is about registration, not actual voting.

From the article:

.....all Foot Locker-owned stores in the U.S will become temporary voter registration sites starting September 22, the company said Friday. The registration sites include Kids Foot Locker, Lady Foot Locker, Champs Sports and Footaction locations.

Each of the company's more than 2,000 stores will house a kiosk with a special website where visitors will can check their voter status, register to vote or sign up for election reminders.....

I'm not in favor of actual voting taking place at a foot locker store.

Having Kiosks or handing out our voter registration paperwork to make it easier for citizens to register to vote is a good thing. It doesn't change how you actually go and vote on election day. Also, If you think it's making it too easy, you can already go to this website (assuming you live in Erie county https://elections.erie.gov/VoterRegister ) and print out a form to vote. There isn't much difference in that which is already available or making the digital version of the same thing available on a kiosk.

And you're absolutely right, registering to vote and actually doing so on election day are different things. That's why this whole Foot Locker thing isn't a big deal.

 

[SonOfSun]

Footlocker will conveniently lose all the Republican registrations, therefore, invalidating their vote at the election booth. I wouldn't trust Footlocker with my registration if my foot depended on it.

You'll be happy to hear that Foot Locker doesn't have registrations to lose. In fact Foot Locker doesn't even touch your submission, it's handled by an electronic submission through RTV, your voter registration application is sent electronically to your local or state election officials. Similar to how Turbo Tax or whatnot submit your 1040 and other forms to the IRS.

 

[technicalgadget]

Well heck, I suppose there's no need to goto FootLocker to register to vote. Just do it all online yourself.

Absolutely, you can do that as well.

Unless of course, FootLocker allows you to register to vote without a valid NY State Drivers license.

Foot locker doesn't register anyone. Your voter registration application is sent electronically to your local or state election officials for review and approval.

I vote in a local church.

Does the FootLocker process allow one to register without a NYS Driver license or ID?

What is bullshit about it? Should it take "effort" for you to exercise your 1st Amendment right, such as with weak posts like yours?
What's stopping Cracker Barrel, American Eagle or Subaru from becoming voter registration sites?

I would say at least half Americans are too ignorant to responsibly vote and would welcome it harder to do so.

I know.
I was talking about your last line about "fake barriers".
Everything else I agree with.
Making voting as easy as possible is a good thing. But by making hundreds of voting places.....like shoe stores.....would be ripe for fraud.
As I said, generations of poor people have voted without issue. Why now? Trump is why now.
I know you dont agree with FL being a voting place, I was just taliking about the fake barrier thing. Having certain voting places is neither fake, nor a barrier.

I of course have no issue with where or how you register.....its the 9,000 places to vote to be "fair" I have an issue with.....as do you.
We are on the same page.
