I guess it’s good to open sports arenas for voting, but I’m not sure how that helps.

First of all, generally voting locations are in local neighborhoods & close to voters. Many times within walking distance to voters.

Sports arenas are generally not in the neighborhood & you would need to drive a relatively long distance to get to them. The good thing is that there would be plenty of parking & they could accommodate many voters.

Going to a sports arena require much more of a commitment than going to a local fire station or school. Especially on your way to or home from work.

Going to a sports arena would generally require driving, which would require a driver’s license, aka picture ID.

Federal government executes Missouri man who raped, murdered 10-year-old girl

Keith Dwayne Nelson ‘finally faced the justice he deserved,’ Justice Department says.

The federal government on Friday put to death 45-year-old Keith Dwayne Nelson, a Missouri man who in 2001 was found guilty of kidnapping, raping and murdering 10-year-old Pamela Butler. 

The Department of Justice said in a press release on Friday that Nelson “was executed at U.S. Penitentiary Terre Haute” pursuant to a capital sentence imposed in 2002 after he was found guilty. 

Nelson in 2001 plead guilty to having planned and carried out the crime against Butler in Kansas City, Missouri in 1999, DOJ spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said in the press release. His “claims for collateral relief were denied by every court that considered them,” she added. 

Butler’s family members “attended the execution and witnessed implementation of the sentence for Nelson’s horrific crime,” Kupec said. 

Nelson was the fifth inmate executed by the federal government in 2020. Federal executions resumed in July of this year after a 17-year hiatus that began in 2003.

Plus, if someone who votes in a sports arena tests positive for the vid, cost a lot to clean it

Just had a long conversation with my daughter that lives in Ventura, planning on moving to Wisconsin. My granddaughter, going to UCLA now, apparently is all in on the BLM movement. She told me the worst decision she ever made in her life was moving back to California and having her kids go to school there.
There may be hope for my grandsons. It breaks my heart to hear how militant my granddaughter has become. I was there last Christmas but we didn’t really talk about politics or anything.
And my daughter is not a political person either but at least she sees common sense.
