The good: 1. provide ONE form of photo identification which will be verified against state database. In English: they want to make sure you are you, you are a citizen AND you are alive. The argument is the voter card should be enough and it is difficult for some to get a photo ID. This is untrue. One cannot obtain a voter card without already posssessing a photo ID. If you have your voter card, then you have a photo ID. Where I work an election, this will never happen. Our ID protocol and our adherence to said protocol is strict. I even ID my family. Someone stealing your vote DOES HAPPEN. The media silences this. 2. No mass mail out ballots and strict absentee/mail out ballot guidelines. Did you know that there are registered voters who are actually dead? That means with auto mail out ballots to registered voters the following scenario is possible: A residence receives mail in ballot of former tenant who has passed away. They are then able to vote twice if they happen to be dishonest or fully convicted in their political views. There was an interview with a woman, race and election not I’m not saying, and in her interview she said “I voted several times. As many times as I could for my man. I want him in.”

The bad: 1. Limiting polling stations and polling hours. While it is difficult to find people to work an election,that is not an excuse. Fighting against that is asinine and does prevent citizens from their right to vote. It’s simply anti-American. We can and should do better in this area.

The idk: I do not know enough about the drive through voting stations to form an opinion. I do know that I cherish my right to vote. If I have to stand in a line for hours, then that’s what I will do. If I don’t want to, then I will follow the protocol for absentee/mail in voting.

Why is this important? Voting is a right and it is a fragile one… It NEEDS to be protected… Do not let mass media distractions, social media screams and your political party view distract you from that basic fact… Protect your vote and your right to vote… Would you want someone creating debt, committing crimes, using your name for anything other than what YOU wanted? No. So why do we slowly give our right to vote away so easily?

It’s not a Republican/Democrat issue. Neither party has an unbiased plan for voters and voting rights. To me, that is unAmerican. And I’m sick of their games.
