I agree they shouldn’t have to compromise because of the state legislature wins. Put the photo ID to vote, no same day voting, only able to do absentee if one is not going to be in the state or home voting area. I will even gladly produce my birth certificate and drive down to my county seat to validate that I am a citizen. and I will gladly take any family or friends to do the same if they can no longer transport themselves. and if one has a green card or a visa, then they can have a different color put on their DL’s or state ID’s.
Oh and also they need to come up with some judge proof wording stating that any ballots on turned in are considered invalid because they were ‘lost’ in the chain of command and those ‘finding’ the ballots that they were entrusted with will be prosecuted for an disenfranchisement of the voters. Fine them well and maybe even consider taking away their right to vote for a few cycles.
With precincts having their total number of ballots cast and each precinct is supposedly signing for x number of ballots and has to return x number of ballots there is NO WAY they can be lost, since the persons signing said ballots back in at the county level is supposedly checking everything they should also be aware they will be prosecuted, but make sure that found ballots cannot be used.
When a city/county is broken down into precincts there really is no way they are so huge that a team of election judges loses ballots. sorry I have never bought that and I believe many others agree with me. It’s not like one precinct has 50000 voters, the city or county easily but a precinct, nope. Plus they don’t even manually count votes anymore.
and they really need to go to scanning machines rather then computers so that if a recount is necessary they have paper to count if needed.
