Well, @Maw , we can try harder if you were board.

I don't even look at the chat until the end so I miss all of that.

In which Locke does that principle appear? I have a pile of Locke which I've completely forgotten about with time.

Tonight was a bit critical of Trump's team so I had a feeling.

Yeah, it's understandable.

Tossed out a question about legal definitions earlier, should I toss it out again?

And personally I'm glad you were.

i guess most here are fam/work people

Critical is good if i can learn from it !

@Whithers I scrolled up and caught it. Did you have a link?

I looked up the statutory definition of voter in my state. It said a voter is a legal voter. Shouldn't the language be a bit better than using the term being defined in the definition?

so do you start the chat with an outline of where you want to go with it or are freestyle n it

RSMo 1.035. Voter defined. — Whenever the word "voter" is used in the laws of this state it shall mean registered voter, or legal voter.
https://revisor.mo.gov/main/OneSection.aspx?section=1.035&bid=47&hl=voter%u2044

Legal voter is an umbrella term. It's generally a permanent resident of the US that is over the age of 18 and has no prior felony conviction.

It is good to hear what the other side's argument actually is! without the Slanderous, Virtuous and accusatory statements.

Yea @Whithers looking here in Arizona we have a qualified electors statute: https://www.azleg.gov/viewdocument/?docName=https://www.azleg.gov/ars/16/00121.htm

Yeah, not real hip on the no felony convictions to vote. I think that protects judges way too much.

@osok the live chat is for the end of the show, I just take questions that I can catch as they scroll by. No rhyme or reason.

"Legal voter" is also different based on if the election is federal or state, IIRC. Robert likely knows more about this.

I think whithers that legal is pretty clear. Is it clear constitutionally since our laws our derived from that. Going to have to read the federalist papers more indepth

Yeah, now see much better description in Az statute.

yet much different state to state...

Interesting. How so?

AZ statute is great read

https://law.justia.com/codes/arizona/2011/title16/section16-165/ Is the exceptions for legal voters that the statuette doesn't describe there in-depth if you wanted it. @Whithers

I read a lot of the RSMo when I was an alderman here in my little pretentious village/4th class city. Some of what was written in it then couldn't be diagrammed as a sentence if one had Churchill and Einstein working together to figure it out.

I'm not sure how I feel about mentally deficient people being ineligible to vote, if I'm reading this right.

And that's sort of what it sounds like.

Well like if in Florida and a felon you may never vote again in their state. In Michigan it is only for the time that you are locked up mostly. yea yea Variance as to voting pratices and what is "Legal" is much different.

3. "Incapacitated person" means any person who is impaired by reason of mental illness, mental deficiency, mental disorder, physical illness or disability, chronic use of drugs, chronic intoxication or other cause, except minority, to the extent that he lacks sufficient understanding or capacity to make or communicate responsible decisions concerning his person. In cases of limited guardianship only, a person is not deemed an incapacitated person for purposes of voting if the person files a petition and has a hearing and the judge determines by clear and convincing evidence that the person retains sufficient understanding to exercise the right to vote pursuant to section 14-5304.02.

That's the definition @Maw

Well, just remember that someone has to decide who is and isn't mentally deficient. Which would mean social scientists, who are all on the Left, deciding all conservatives are mentally deficient and cannot vote.

Could one not just move, then?

question is what states change the law with electoral vote if biden dosent make it and drops out of race now

So basically anyone that's considered still a dependant over the age of 18?

Legally, anyway.

Faithless electors' fate is entirely up to the states to enforce, as far as I know.

In utah it is legal for felon to vote as long as they are not incarcerated on probation or parole.

I suppose but how does that work? How is that not considered Voter Suppression in both accounts.

We have had incredibly few occurrences of the EC differing from popular opinion.

@Maw we have a legal process here to make that determination but practically I don't know how it would work.
