No. If you’re eligible, you’re eligible.

Unethical and illegal are different things. Would you be this upset if they mailed-in ballots voting for Shapiro and Fetterman a week ago?

I like your parents

Should mail-in ballots of people who die between mailing the ballot and Election Day count? Your parents have terrible choice in politicians, but as long as they’re only voting in one election, it’s 100% ethical. Every year there are going to be thousands of weird situations like this, in the end, they amount to rounding errors. Now if Fetterman loses by one vote, you are hereby forbidden to ever speak to them again.

It'd be unethical to not use your vote to defeat the marxist critical race theory open border dems in a swing state. (or the other way around if you're liberal, if you see what I mean.)

Florida transplant here. I will love to see them once they discover there is nothing but fees to live in Florida.

In any case, if I were to vite against DeSantis, would you think that would be unethical?

No.

I already sent in my mail-in ballot. I’m moving to London on the 1st.

My vote is my chance to make things better in this country—why wouldn’t I do that, even if I’m on my way out the door? I’m voting for the candidates and policies I think will benefit my country, state, and town the most, not what benefits me personally.

Not unethical at all, but I’m sorry your parents are goobers. At least this will be the last of their damage before they retire to dinosaur park.

Logically, no it’s not. They are within their right to vote while they can.

But in my opinion, voting for someone you aren’t even gonna have to deal with (Mastriano) and then bailing is pretty scummy. Especially since it’s mastriano

If you don't know the difference between Marxism and Democrats, you shouldn't vote.

“Is it unethical for others to vote for politicians I don’t like?”

OP is looking for justification on arguing with their own parents about exercising their constitutional right to vote. Amazing

You should introduce your parents to the word "simping". Moving to a location for someone who may not even exist in 10 years is kinda stupid.

I think he's channelling OP's parents, who (as fans of DeSantis and Mastroianni) likely don't know Marxists from Democrats and surely don't know shit from Shinola.

I thought that the original comment was on a different post lol

Is it unethical if you're old enough to very likely be dead before that person's term is up? If you can vote, vote. That's just how this stuff works out. Unfortunate they're voting for shitheads though.

copes harder

The only flaw of democracy is that it works so well representing the population, that when such population has a majority of idiots, idiots get elected.

Why did you see the need to state that your parents voted for a candidate in a political party and are moving to a state because it’s run by an elected official official of the same party?

In the future if you want to have objective conversations ask objective questions.

Yea factually it’s what they’re doing but it’s irrelevant if you’re trying to see if other people apolitically believe voting in election right before you move is unethical.

You introduced information that intentionally or unintentionally will bias the answers given our current political climate. Saying “don’t act partisan” but you providing your parents political leanings clash with each other.

Eh I’m not for instituting an IQ or literacy test to vote

Thanks John. These redd-tards don’t understand irony unless you put /s.

Actually, they don't count ballots if you die before Election Day.

But if you're a resident here on Election Day and alive, you can vote.

If you plan on returning to PA -- if London is temporary -- you can keep voting here during your time there.

They can’t vote in Florida yet, so if they don’t vote here they can’t vote at all.

It depends on the state on if it legally counts, but practically, getting someone’s submitted ballot cancelled before it’s counted in the short window between when ballots go out and Election Day is impractical. So, yes, dead people do vote, but in meaningless numbers.

I am for educating the majority to make it function.

This took about a minute to find:

"Whenever it shall appear by due proof that any absentee elector or mail-in elector who has returned his ballot in accordance with the provisions of this act has died prior to the opening of the polls on the day of the primary or election, the ballot of such deceased elector shall be rejected by the canvassers but the counting of the ballot of an absentee elector or a mail-in elector thus deceased shall not of itself invalidate any nomination or election."

And how does that contradict anything I said?

Well, I wanted to be clear what the law was in this state, but I have no idea if you're right about practicality.

Not if you ever paid taxes
