I think we all want balance but let's take voter ID cards as a great example. It makes perfect sense to have ID cards with photos and all that goes with exceptionally strong verification to ensure only those who are entitled to vote can do so. But when the system is designed to disenfranchise those who can't afford to BUY a pictured voter ID card and this knowledge(power) is used to prevent those on the lowest economic rung from voting, we have a seriously flawed system in place. In this day and age, we must prevent the type of discrimination and systemic oppression that many want to use as their way to stay in power, and, for example, to Keep America Great. Rational discussions and solutions are almost always easily had and we can move forward with "Warp Speed" - if - and only if there are reasonable heads, working on reasonable ideas. Those in power DO NOT want reasonable ideas. They wish to keep their power.

<<Yes you are correct on the games but I can see that on both sides.>> That's a common refrain I hear from the right but when it comes to election related issues its completely a false equivalence. Gerrymandering and voter suppression laws are primarily a republican occurrence. But yes, you're right that the process needs to be improved to make voting more accessible and not tougher. I'm no expert but there's got to be a way to make it more of a totally secure online process. Christ, we put a man on the moon more than 50yrs ago - why is this so tough?!?
