In Maine, we have no voter ID laws, we have same day registration, we have no-excuse absentee voting, we have mail-in voting, we have early voting, we have 24/7 drop boxes. And we have virtually no fraud. Expanding ballot access doesn't encourage fraud; it encourages VOTING.

Demoledor @BrankoMilan: “la élite prefiere la educación privada porque refuerza su poder (...). El alto costo de la educación, combinado con la calidad real o percibida de ciertas universidades, cumple dos funciones: hace que sea imposible que otros compitan con los más ricos”
