How about NO Mail-In ballots except for qualified absentee voters who must go get the ballot and present valid ID?

A little to late, don’t you think. These morons will also support the right to bear arms once the government has taken all the guns.

WTH is wrong with people not wanting ID required to vote in any way.

That’s all well and dandy, but it’s one thing to favor something, versus actually trying to fight against those who will actually cheat.

Most will just shrug about it, and move on.

Ballots should be notarized. And the voter should pay the fee or vote in person with an ID for free.

That’s cool. Too bad it will never happen since the communists have taken the White House. And anything done at the state level will be instantly attacked by the civil rights division of the DOJ and the idiots on the USSC will rubber stamp it.

What does it matter? The Democrats control the entire voting apparatus.

we’re all gonna be treated to a tap-dance the next 4 years as the UniParty tries to thread the needle on a pseudo/faux “voter-ID” game and plan

Electoral Fraud is how the UniParty retains its power. They ping-pong Red-Blue off all of us every election cycle while below the surface they continue trading and dealing away parts of all of us and our country

And just who in the Democrat Party is going to vote for ANY election reform. Don’t kid yourselves. The Republic is dead. Our apologies to Benjamin Franklin.
