MAGA take note. This is your future.

I suspect the Dems will pick up at least 30 House seats and maybe get to 50 or 51 in the Senate. Authoritarianism is on the way out in actual democracies. Except it won’t take the US 16 years to pimp-slap ours outta power.

Right? It's almost as if the people in love with the SAVE act have never actually read it. Not going to bother responding to the gish gallop bullshit that precipitated this.


Anyway, back to the subject. It will be interesting to see how MAGA reacts when they get bounced out like the hero of CPAC Orbán.

As did I, after quoting you directly.
But if it helps you to catch up, I'll post the answer to an AI query:

Valid identification documents for voting in Hungary’s 2026 parliamentary elections include a national ID card, a laser-engraved passport issued since late 1998, or a card-format driving licence. The digital identification application (DÁP) is not accepted as a valid form of ID at polling stations.

Voters must present their ID in person at their designated polling station to receive a ballot. The ID is verified by the vote-counting committee, and the voter must sign the electoral register to confirm receipt.

Voting is only possible between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. local time on election day, with those already in line at 7:00 p.m. still allowed to vote.

Only Hungarian citizens aged 18 or older (or minors who married before 18) are eligible, provided they are not disenfranchised by court order.

No electronic or proxy voting is permitted, and early voting is not available.

FWIW: They do have some additional parameters, i.e. hoops to jump through, for dual-citizens as well.

Once again, the ID you mention is at no-cost to the "citizen." Nothing like the SAVE act. So still not sure what your greater point is other than trying to derail the thread.

I love when folks get to looking at other countries and make comments like “if they can have voting by paper and same day and no mailing, why can’t we.

Hungary is about the size of Indiana.
France is about the size of Texas.
England is about the size of Alabama.
Germany is about the size of Montana


I’ll just end the conversation right there.
