Non partisan topic this go round.
PBS tonight, tho biased a little in the q&a as per usual, had a show on previous elections, tho mainly on the 2020 election and state changes for our upcoming election.
It talked about which states allowed pre or early voting, pre counting . Automatically mailed out ballots versus having to request them. Drop boxes were mentioned because most are not monitored...... Would a ballot harvester drop off 50 ballots, then return later with 30 more if they had to drop off the ballots to an actual person monitoring the ballots..... Nobody could stop or question this practice if the ballot box is "unpersoned" and just bolted to a sidewalk at the library.
I'm close to a question.
Elections used to be completed that night or by the following day.. Voting was in person and with ID.
Why is that impossible today?
My suggestion. Stop making voting so damn easy. You don't get to vote if you make no effort..... If you make an effort, you're serious and informed and allowed to vote.
How do we decide this?
It's called voting in person.
Vote by mail? Sure, but you have to request a ballot.... Each election period.
Late voting by mail? If your ballot arrives 4 days after the election..... You're lazy and it gets incinerated. Be on time.
Gotta have some form of ID. No exceptions.
Here's the big one for those that make up excuses or play the race card.
A NATIONAL VOTING HOLIDAY. YOU HAVE THE ENTIRE DAY. GITTER DONE, NO WHINING ALLOWED.
Whatcha think? We don't need elections decided a month afterwards because of computer issues or non issues. Let's go back in time.
