How much should people be forced to sacrifice before being allowed to exercise their freedom of speech?  Just speaking is too easy, right?  So maybe make everyone write down what they want to say and publish it instead of just allowing them to speak it out loud.

Would your heart swell with Patriotism if every person who wanted to own a gun was required to stand in line for hours?


The only reason you like the long lines is because you are a Republican and you know that the harder it is to vote the more it helps your side.  No one else in their right mind thinks it is great to make people suffer for no reason just to exercise their rights. 

I don't think Benton is a Republican.

You should be forced to follow rules to exercise your freedom of speech. 

No one should be required to stand in line for hours; however, this is a different matter than showing up to vote. You want to talk about opening more polls in crowded districts you have my support. 

No one should be required to suffer. Sacrifice a little time, sure; it's a small price to pay.

Instead of slurring me, perhaps you could explain your want:

Do you want every eligible citizen to be able to cast their votes via mail?

Are we going to ask them to fill out the ballot themselves or can we have volunteers on standby to show up and fill out the ballot for them?

How do we verify identity? 

Should we also be able to vote via internet?

Do we even need an election day if everyone mails it in?

If we allow electronic aren't we disadvantaging those that do not have internet?

WTS, I have no issue with folks that want to vote via mail as a measure to reduce the spread of COVID 19, but this year is an anomaly
