You’re asking your question from the perspective of someone whom sounds honest, with no intention to skirt the law or game the system by voting multiple times. Presumably, you just wouldn’t do it. I don’t know your reasons, and frankly I don’t need nor want to. Maybe you are a stickler for following the law. Maybe you don’t want to be caught breaking it. Maybe you like the idea of everyone voting once and the outcome is the outcome.
Not everyone has that kind of perspective. Some start out with the idea of overcoming the law and they believe they are doing a great thing by ensuring their candidate wins and if they can vote 6 times, there are any number of convoluted justifications for doing so. And I don’t mean to sound preachy, but there are stacks and stacks of “end justifies the means” types out there and they view their continued success within the system as a result of subverting it and working to game it.
Where you wouldn’t consider accosting and robbing an elderly person even for a microsecond, others would consider such a person an easy mark.
Most suburban and rural polling places are schoolrooms with four tables shoved together and some machines or booths dragged in and staffed by volunteers or $15/hour retirees, they’re not Fort Knox. So they are easy marks who those inclined to game the system. For some reason, many of us just don’t have that instinct.
Thanks for the compliments and the sermon.
I, along with the other two hundred or so folks that have a box at the UPS store, will all answer the same when asked for our address.
The clerks doing the registration should be asking for a physical address, not a mailing address.
