I think it’s a mix.

Specifically, a mix of “I know this is wrong but I think I can get away with it to get a ‘win’”, and people who do nearly literally think: “I can’t think of a way that posting the voter rolls online could harm me, and I’m not going to think any harder about how it could harm someone else who isn’t in my situation.”

Their excuse was “this is basically public info, anyways, like the phone book”. Yeah. People could request removal from the phone book in case they had an abusive former spouse, or stalker, or they were in hiding from something. You can’t legally not be on the voter rolls.

This is so unbelievably typical from the far-right: “Doing this wouldn’t be a problem for me, so it couldn’t be a problem for anyone else.”

I’m nearly the fucking pinnacle of privilege (white, male, cis, het, relatively upper-class, middle-aged) and I see how dangerous this move could be. It’s nearly impossible to believe that any group of people could be this stupid, but I keep having to learn that lesson again and again.

After the leaked memos from SCOTUS recently, I’m not surprised. LegalEagle video on the subject:

While imprisoned on Cardassia, yeah. :p

Chief Miles O’Brien would like a word…

Au moins c’est plus regulaire que l’anglais…

I know. This change is going to disconnect so many Canadians. I’m quite angry about it. I don’t know what I think of Avi Lewis yet, but his “a public option for everything” might hopefully shift the Overton window in Canada a bit?
