Once again, we should all vote on the same day, in person, with the same set of facts and information as of that day. If you vote on October 12th, and three weeks later it is revealed the person you voted for is a lying crook, you and all of us are in trouble.
Wading through the pile of shit you post, sometimes leads to a nugget. I actually agree with you on something.
We all should be voting on the same day. In fact, Election Day should be a national federal holiday which people can take off. Hours should be pretty standard too. Say 7am-7pm for each state.
There should also be more polling locations in each district so we can eliminate long lines at these locations as they will be long if we all have to vote on the same day.
If there are people that have to mail in their ballot, there should be a federal minimum standard and procedure on how that ballot can be filled out and delivered as well as if it can be post marked by election day. States can go above that standard, but the feds set the floor.
Voters should have some sort of ID as well to vote, but that it can be a college ID, or even something like a power or cable bill to prove residence.
I think those make sense if we all want to vote on the same day and move forward as a democracy.
