#voters — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #voters, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Every form of #democracy eventually fails because #voters don’t want to put effort into paying attention to where things are going, and taking action before it’s too late.

    “It can’t be as bad as all that.”
    “Meh, all politicians are corrupt.”
    “My vote doesn’t count for much.”
    “It’s too hard to learn about the issues.”
    “My news tells me everything is fine.”
    “Enough other people vote to fix the problems.”
    “I was busy that day.”
    “Was there an election? I didn’t notice.”

    Pay attention, and vote.

  2. Get away from my Crypto!!

    62% of survey respondents do NOT trust the Trump administration to oversee the crypto industry, according to CoinDesk. The poll also has 73% of the public opposing senior government officials having personal business dealings in the industry. The poll surveyed equal numbers of Democratic and Republican voters. coindesk.com/policy/2026/05/03 #Crypto #CryptoRegulation #CoinDesk #Voters #Governance

  3. #VisuallyImpaired #voters sue #NewHampshire over changes to #Absentee #BallotAccess

    The plaintiffs say the new law will deter some voters with #disabilities from participating in the democratic process at all, even after they have registered to vote

    By Steven Porter Globe Staff, Updated August 21, 2025, 9:30 a.m.

    "Three people with visual impairments are suing New Hampshire officials to challenge the constitutionality of a law that will soon tighten #PhotoID requirements for voters seeking an #AbsenteeBallot.

    "The plaintiffs — Adele Robertson of #ExeterNH, Daniel Frye of #ConcordNH, and Regina Wilson of #BrentwoodNH — allege the new law, known as #SenateBill287, will impose a significant burden on every #AbsenteeVoter statewide.

    " 'And, in some cases, these burdens will entirely prevent voters from exercising their #RightToVote,' their lawsuit states.
    Under the new rules imposed by #SB287, voters will be required to either bring a photo ID to their local election officials to request an absentee ballot in person, or submit a copy of their ID or a notarized signature along with their application.
    While proponents said the legislation will better protect election integrity, critics said the changes will add barriers that disproportionately impact #seniors, voters with #disabilities, and those living in #rural parts of the state."
