I have no problem with the periodic purging of roles as long as no one area is targeted. I have never been a fan of early voting. I would like to see a Holiday such as President's Day retooled to become Election Day

I think the goal is to get more qualified people to vote. If we want more people to vote we can lower the age to 12.

Personally something I struggle with internally is the "qualification" to vote. I feel with this right comes a degree of responsibility.

"Obtaining an ID is in the too hard to do block, but let me vote for the policies of the nation". I get it's an elitist view (aka the struggle), but why do folks continually complain about Trump and his ignorant base and then suggest there should be no responsibility attached to this right?

I can tell you first hand when I went to the polls to cast my vote in 2016 I saw at least 2 people that had never seen the inside of a voting booth in their life and the workers there had to do everything but check the blocks for them. It was quite obvious where their vote was going.

I'm not sure why the children made citizen by birth is a concern though.

If they make it harder for "some" to get out to vote than others that does not me those "some" are less responsible or less qualified.  That's why the images of the "poll taxes" come back again and again when officials want to make sure "certain" people can vote.


To the best of my knowledge there is no test to be able to vote...and so there shouldn't be.

Trump's base isn't targeted by the attempts at voter Id, closing of polling stations, shorter voting hours, etc.

But I also saw plenty of first time voters who had no clue...mostly escorted by their parents wearing these funny red hats.   

Some went to school with my daughter who was voting for the first time also.  I explained how it worked before we got there and it went smoothly.
