Why is making it hard to vote a bad thing? Don't we all want free and fair elections? Doesn't that require security? "Making it hard" is a feeling. I don't think it's hard to show my ID. I moved from one state to another in spring 2020. Our family of four drivers went to the DMV in the midst of COVID---as in May 2020. Was it "harder" because of COVID? Well, yes, we had to get four back to back to back to back appointments and my husband had to take the day off of work (he's essential), but like everything in life, you just do it. So I had the proper ID to establish residency in my new state in order to vote some 6 months later. And we did, without a problem. "Harder" is a feeling. Your links are actually kind of funny at how biased the words are from the top.
I mean, Richard, if you think life isn't going to be hard sometimes, you should wake up from the dream your living in. Did you watch the video from Matt Orfalea that I posted to you to see the Dems who FIRST called the 2016 election rigged, interfered with and ILLEGITIMATE. I almost forgot, Stacey Abrahms is running for a second term as governor of GA because she never conceded the first time!
You need to give this feeling stuff a break. Life is hard when you are living in the inner city and every one around you has an illegal gun and you have no way to defend yourself legally. That's hard!
Not a serious response, madaboutmd. You challenged me to offer evidence that more than 20 states have passed laws making it more difficult to vote, some of them empowering state legislatures to overrule the will of the voters. I provided that evidence and the laws passed do far more than require photo ID. You responded with a verbose, rambling comment suggesting that there's nothing wrong with making it hard to vote since we all want clean and fair elections. We already have clean and fair elections. More than 60 judges from both parties, some of them appointed by Trump have reviewed the "evidence" of voter fraud in our last election and found them unworthy of serious consideration. Numerous audits, including some by pro-Trump groups like Cyber Ninjas have turned up nothing. In fact, they found that Biden's margin of victory in Arizona was wider than the official total.
If you're serious about protecting our democratic procedures and voting rights, consider this article from the Harvard Law Review:
"This Essay describes the path to this unexpected moment of democratic peril in the United States. Part II explains the three potential mechanisms by which American elections may be subverted in the future. Part III recommends steps that can and should be taken to minimize this risk. Preserving and protecting American democracy from the risk of election subversion should be at the top of everyone’s agenda. The time to act is now, before American democracy disappears."
