A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Rules:

  1. Recent news articles only (past 30 days)
  2. Title must match the headline or neutrally describe the content
  3. Avoid duplicates & spam (search before posting; batch minor updates).
  4. Be civil; no hate or personal attacks.
  5. No link shorteners
  6. No entire article in the post body

Let's be clear, it's not just elderly, but rural people who have the most trouble, and especially elderly in rural areas.

So yes, it's self inflicted wounds for GOP in this regard most likely. But since the Dems want to encourage voting, GOP naturally has to reject it. Plus they'll also hurt poor folk who can't drive to polls so that's a risk with taking for them, I guess.
