I’m a fan of a holiday to vote. I would prefer voting to be on Saturday or Sunday, but a holiday would suffice.
We just put in our constitution in Michigan the same-day registration and postal voting, and Republicans were so pissed that eliminated ballot measures against the will of both conservative and progressive and liberal voices. (They didn’t eliminate it, but the hoops you now have to jump through have practically done that)
So, yes, Republicans do not want people voting as far as I can tell.
Nope. But I would like to eliminate straight party ticket voting. Also removal of party affiliation by the candidates names, and have them in a random order.
Wonder what would happen under those circumstances where they can’t just go in pop straight party, or go down and mark all the candidates of one party.
By golly they might actaully need to know the issues, and how each candidate feels on them.
Of course we’re the country that has the Super Bowl on a Sunday instead of a Saturday night so we’re obviously too stupid to have a holiday so that more Americans can participate in our elections.
Hell, NC took voting places off of college campuses and canceled early voting when minorities showed up the most. So we all know what’s really happening.
I’m not trying to solve the problem you’ve posted here.
Register only at county/city offices – person has to put an actuall effort into wanting to vote
Purge voter rolls every 10 years – automatically removes dead people, people who have moved. Things like that.
Some sort of ID presented to vote – just verifies who is voting.
It’s fine with me as long as we have voter id to validate actually citizenship & the right to vote. I suspect the Dems would “express outrage” over that!
