Our voter registration is automatic (though voting is not mandatory like in Australia, Hotcanada), polling stations are evenly and efficiently distributed throughout every electoral district, and we also use independent electoral commissions to set the boundaries of these electoral districts every ten years. These horror stories from the United States sound so alien to me, i'm thankful to say. We also use paper ballots that can't be hacked. And in Canada, provinces run provincial elections, and the federal level runs federal elections -- how things should be. I imagine that Australia is the same.

I think the best solution would be in giving are votes value. If the electoral college is removed then the president would be decided by a majority. That would lead to a more democratic federal system. To affect change on a state level we would need to disable gerrymandering. In addition removal of voting districts would make it impossible to suppress the vote by area. That would encourage officials to focus more on what helps all of us instead of a base. These changes would make it harder to suppress vote and it would help bring are government closer to a democracy. I don't think we would be able to eliminate individuals from suppressing voters they believe would harm them but we can make it harder to suppress votes. However to get to that point we need to reform are voting system.

People who call themselves atheists yet who do the works of Christ are in effect, Christ like and will be viewed as such on what the Evangelicals call "judgement day". So the hypocrisy of the so-called Evangelical Christians is clear for all to see. They're all talk and no Christ-like action.

It is still difficult for some people to get to a poll to vote. Republicans give rides to people so they can vote. Why are poll monitors not allowed at all polls? History matters but adapting to the current needs matter also. Both sides play dirty. This election season I have found one place that is quiet. The third party....silent. we are so polarized we are tearing apart. I hear both sides trying to reach similar goals but arguing about how to get there. They say they aren't but really it is. The main objective is power, control and money for all of them. The politicians may intend to help, serve and represent the people but once they are in office they are in a system... It owns them. They are rewarded for following it. This is why Trump has a large support base. Regardless of how things have turned out, the supporters want to be heard and see their elected leaders DO SOMETHING other than play the political game. Trump is not politically correct. This is a movement on the right that the left never knew would happen. Now we are polarized. It will flip one way or the other and our country will never be the same. Maybe that is good. Or it may tear us apart. If we want to leave a better world for future generations maybe we should accept responsibility for our mess and stop trying to fix it by destroying one another. Our young USA government is is the rebellious teenage years. It is time to mature. Make good decisions for all the people, and calm down. Control our response, react with maturity. That is what I would like my political leaders to do. Stop putting on a show to win over constituents. Be real and end the bubble of politics they all live in. The American people do not live in that bubble with you. Break that bubble and get busy working on saving this nation to pass down to the next generation. It can be better than it ever was. Or we can divide and collapse. We do have foreign enemies who are waiting for us to fall. If we cherish our values, our freedom and the opportunities some take for granted, we should focus on the most important things and make it happen. We are different in America, we do have a different set of belief's and drive to achieve. Just stop being so stupid, mean spirited, and blind to the needs of people who are hurting and need help to get there with you. That is a biblical concept. America needs a good therapist. All of this mess we are in boils down to choices about our behavior toward one another. The problems we face are there regardless, how we overcome them depends on how we choose to behave. We are clashing with each other and it has to stop. If not there will be a vacuum without any leadership and we will be prime for losing our country. We will not pass down a better America; a country that overcame the errors of our beginnings, and restored to a healthy, strong, vibrant nation the world wants to be like. We are crumbling. Maybe that is what some people want to see happen so we can become a different kind of nation. I don't want a new nation. I want a better America; one that did not throw in the towel and say, oh that didn't work, let's try something else. Freedom is worth saving. People today are willing to give it up for whatever is being sold. If that doesn't scream capitalism I don't know what does! Or is it socialism? It is interesting that the platform of politically incorrect is full blown, to the point where Bill is giving examples of what Trump's words spoken by Obama sound like. Bill and Trump have something in common. They both hate political correctness. The irony!

People HAVE been interacting for HOURS! But that is totally irrelevant to the point that they should not HAVE to in a pandemic if they do not want to! What about my mom? Sadly, she died a few weeks ago, but she wanted to vote - she had heart problems (at 84) that she had had since she was a kid, and respiratory problems, and arthritis - Covid would have killed her easily. It may have, but other things got her first. But if those other things had not, would you think it was fair ton make her expose herself to near certain death to vote? Maybe she got to vote - she sent in a ballot by mail two weeks before she died. I don't know if it will count or not - it probably should not. But where she lived, she would not have qualified to vote by mail before Covid. Another thing about drop boxes - it depends on where you put the one, and to contradict Bill, in a tiny county it has less effect, but is also less fair! In Van Buren County, MI - a drop box in the center of the county would be as much as a 40 minute one way drive or more. Why would anyone make people spend so much time to simply drop off a ballot? Only one reason - to stop them from doing it. You missed the whole point of the video, which is that people should not have to jump through hoops or risk their lives to get to vote!

2.4 million at even 1 per second 24 hours a day would take a month. Even of it only take 3 seconds to vote it will take three months in line.

This is SO friggin' important! He's absolutely right!

Nationalize all national elections. Most of the states are so poor they would want to get on board.

We seem to be more concerned with elections in other countries than we are with our own country. We have helped fight wars over this. It is sad that we have come to this. And I worry. Trump and the Republicans want a Fascist state. Be alarmed.

I honestly think we should add an amendment to the Constitution that requires all American citizens to vote !! New Zealand does it it makes their democracy full and fair and I think we should do the same here and we should fund our elections because it would be a law and make it easier for mail voting or in person and have a federal holiday on election day as well as a month long early vote.

You know what would happen don't you - the right wing's collective hair would burst into flames. They are pros at making mountains into molehills, and vice versa. 😡

Yes, it is a defining difference between the two parties. Thank you Bill for distilling this subject down to the bizarre obstacle course that voting in America has become. Many Americans have been dealing with this for a long time.

Bill you ending for this piece was spot on.💥💥💥

You forgot "The Intimidator," where armed gangs are standing back and standing by at the urging of the president.

I think that there are a LOT of things going on that are definitely designed to discourage people from voting, like the drop off boxes in Texas and the way too little amount of polling stations. But one thing I find odd is people complaining about the secrecy envelope, like - it‘s not that hard to understand that your ballott should not be directly inside an envelope with your name on it.

This was a really good deal thank you you always hit the nail on the head

I have to tell you, I love you Bill maher, you really are something...very cool man.

Excellent Bill Maher

All this with the help and blessing of the supreme court.

Why are Americans accepting voter-suppression like there is nothing to be done about it?

Pretty apt comparison. If your rights as a human being could depend on your winning Ninja Warrior, it'd be perfect.

I'm from Cape Town, South Africa. In our area we have at least 4 polling stations and there are +/- 500 000 people in our suburb. And two polling are walking distance from each other.

This is almost too perfect...Bravo Bill...well done!!!

That is so correct. I waited 12 minutes to cast my vote in Cobb county, GA

My ancestors left Europe with the hope to find prosperity and freedom. Now I have both and will fight to keep them. Thank the powers that be that I can do it, as a proud Canadian. But I still love the queen... U Rock Liz !

Hurray, that’s called democracy now.

I just voted in local elections in Brazil. It took me 15 minutes to go to the nearest polling station, cast my ballot and come back home.

Thank you for doing something with the clapping seals audience. They were behaving much better during this segment. There were a few times that they backslid into their bad habits between 5:01 thru 5:20 but it seemed that someone did shush them. That shush allowed Bill to complete both his great thought and pointed joke. Please keep it up, Real Time staff. The retraining of the audience is working. Don’t stop now. BTW please please someone do something about the person whom woo woos at full volume (you hear them at time point 3:58) whenever they get the urge. Please stop them or remove them.

What's amazing is that they are getting away with it.

Everyone needs to have this bounce-back mentality: The more you try to supress my vote, the more certainly I will vote

Any State Governor who suppresses voting should be locked up for life without the possibility of parole on a no human contact standing order.

I'm from Malaysia, an actual developing country, and the last time I voted I didn't even need to wait. I was in and out in ten minutes. And I walked from my house, my polling station was literally just the school across the street from the park next to my house, and they converted most of the classrooms into polling stations with 6-8 booths in each classroom. That's not to say we don't have our own issues with our political system but the ability to vote isn't one of them.

Thanks Bill i could NEVER understand those games before

In my country it takes 5 minutes to vote. I receive messages in my phone to telling me where to vote. The state does everything to promote voting. Prisioners vote. Everybody over 18 can vote. I don’t understand the US system ...

Thank you all so very kindly🍷🏺🌹🕊

Perfect. Just a perfect analogy.

God forbid they have to figure out how to put it in an envelope

I like the way this jerk waits for applause. He refuses to move on from one joke that was written by someone else to the next joke that was written by someone else until the audience claps. He even demonstrates how to clap as he's telling the joke someone else wrote. To think I used to hang on his words.

Trump and McConnell have put over 200+ conservatives on the courts, so it's unlikely that such a suit would win, especially now that it's 3 Democrats and 6 Republicans on the Supreme Court.

I think, and I hope voters know we can't have economic, social or political differences if we sacrifice 2-4 million Americans to COVID-19. We must get this under control and on a moral foundation.

A democracy that chooses voters is not a democracy

"Voter suppression is strictly a Republican thing."

I have never heard a Republican say "VOTE!"

There have been many militant uprisings against discrimination much less than the GOP have tried. I live in Ireland, where discrimination nowhere near the extent to which the GOP does lead to a 30 year conflict

Aoc would say otherwise she says there is voter suppression in NY as well

WE HAVE TO VOTE! FOR OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR FUTURE WE NEED TO VOTE! FOR OUR COUNTRY AND HOW DIVIDED IT IS WE MUST VOTE!

To me, Bill Maher is one of the most intelligent comedian next to George Carlin .

Actually in NY state, you put your ballot into an envelope, seal it, sign it, then put it into another larger envelope and mail it. 55cents postage.

Well I got my early mail in vote ticket. I filled it in . Placed in envelope 1 . Then signed it. Then placed that into envelope 2 sealed and signed that. Then I walked to the post office [ unreliable pick up service , & no drop boxes anywhere ] and hand placed my vote envelope into the mail slot inside the post office. From here on in my vote is in the hands of a Republican . Let's see if my vote gets counted this year .
