'Fixing' The Vote
Think about that. A group in this country could write a law that would only allow the votes of people they prefer...sell it as voter integrity....and then fix the election.
I want to go over something that truly astonishes me.
Politico is running a story on the Pennsylvania voter ID law. Here is the opening line...
About three-in-five Pennsylvanians support the state’s voter ID law, and only 2 percent said they don’t have the documents necessary to cast a ballot, according to a new poll.

Now hear me out. The article states that "only" 2 percent don't have the documents. Well, 2 percent translates into the neighborhood of 150,000 to 200,000 people in Pennsylvania.
Even if it "only" 100,000 people. How can we allow that?

When did voting become a majority decision? Do we have a right to vote or do we not? Is that right for any citizen or just those that the "majority" deem worthy of voting?
Like I said, this still astonishes me. We have taken the right to vote and made it subject to "polling data".

Is that democracy?
