Another Voter ID Law Bites the Dust

Apparently you have never voted Petra. Are you planning to vote in this election? You seem to have a lot of opinions for someone who has never voted.

And my experiences in Pennsylvania are similar to Kad's in NY. Your registration is checked and marked so no one could come in under your name and vote again. You sign, and additionally they tear off a stub which is collected at the voting machine.

It's one of the simple lessons in life that rich people attempt to keep poor people from voting. Maybe Roxy dosen't get it? Generally, I don't like communicating with heartless strangers, but Roxy, you take the ever loving cake, the guy so proud of his nationalism but so averse to fairness. I'm guessing you disgust you.

Liza's Headband said: "I've always been of the mindset that election day should be a national holiday, thus ensuring more accessibility."

I've heard this suggestion before, and I can certainly see the appeal. But might there be some unintended consequences? After all, not everything closes on national holidays. Restaurants, gas stations, and retail stores are still going to be open, while corporate offices, government agencies, and universities will be closed. It seems possible that making Election Day a national holiday might actually exacerbate the "convenience gap" between economic classes for voting.

Another Voter ID Law Bites the Dust

There are countless rural and nearly desolate counties in the nation that lack public transportation, including the one in which my home town in NC is situated. There's also a generation of elderly folks around still in those areas whose births were likely recorded in a bible somewhere if at all. I'm personally acquainted with scores of folks from the most rural parts of the Carolinas and Georgia who neither fly nor have credit cards. They often depend on the kindness of younger family members or church members to get to and fro medical appointments, banks, the one grocery store in town, and polling places. The situation is worse if they are disabled. Disenfranchisement is a big deal and economics should never be the root cause of it.
