Remove democrats from the counting process and it wouldn’t be a mess.

I don’t agree with having compulsory voting.

Forcing people to vote would just give rise to more cheating.

Our system is broken.
Our system is the best that has ever been devised.

Lesson 1 - The Republican party is full of RINOs who prefer being the minority party.

Lesson 2 - Even with foreknowledge of a democrat pattern of cheating in elections, Republicans prefer snatching defeat from the jaws of victory to lifting a finger to head off the corruption on election day.

I would not want to require people to vote. There are already too many people who don’t follow the news and politics, or get their news information from Saturday night live and comedy Central fake liberal comedy shows.

We should.have voter ID and we should not have electronic voting. Paper ballots should be required. Has electronic voting given us quicker results reported? It sure seems.like it doesn’t help which was one reason cited in setting up electronic voting systems.

Need national voter ID of eligible voters. No mail in votes. Enforce time to submit number of votes.

I’m also 100% for repealing the 19th amendment.

How would it create more “cheating”?

Through the use of strict voter ID requirements, and elimination of the “motor voter” same day registration scam would go a long way in eliminating voter fraud.

Since the constitution leaves it up to the states to solve their own voting and vote reporting requirements, the obvious solution would seem to be an amendment specifying proof of citizenship before votes could be officially accepted by the Congress. This would usher in a huge debate about Real ID and big brother, but its a debate that needs to be had.

Will we allow non-citizens to not or not? The only way to guarantee they don’t, is proof of citizenship. As soon as this were to pass, the Dems would never win another close election, and it would doom their party. Naturally, you can see why they will fight this tooth and nail.

Increased voter participation in elections would likely result in even a greater shift to the left.

The time for lessons has passed. Everyone knows what is going on and why and how. Everyone knows what to do and the consequences of not doing it.

compulsory voting is the worst idea of all. I believe election fraud should be as a treasonous offense. That might slow it down.

Lessons?

Mail-in voting, absentee voting, same-day registration, no ID voting, provisional ballots, early voting - will all create fraud.

I believe the lesson learned by Florida, Georgia etc...is...
next time, they wont forget that the Repubs are no longer restricted by the 1982 Consent Decree that prohibited them from contesting elections due to suspected vote fraud.

Requiring people to vote is tyrannical. Requiring people to show ID and having their finger dipped in ink are logical protection against fraud, although shooting people who commit voter fraud after their fair trial is just and reduces recidivism to zero.
