I agree.

It won’t ever be an issue though. I mean, it actually being made to happen as the issue.

This is because the rest of us refuse the most basic requirement of duty of a citizen of a republic which is doing whatever it takes to keep those elected to run things on the straight and narrow.

It’s always someone else’s duty or the duty is too messy to contemplate.
And yes. I am also in that refusing duty group with everyone else.

We have a situation with our own primary this year. Our County Clerk decided it was too expensive to actually have the primary in our little town in the middle of nowhere. So we can do absentee ballot or drive over 200 miles round trip to vote. I wonder what people in cities would think if they were told in order to vote in person they would have to drive over 200 miles? This is supposed to save the county money. Yes we can vote absentee but I have always been skeptical of that, there always seems to be stories here and there about absentee ballots not being counted.

I guess my point is how much trouble should we be expected to go to in order to vote or in the case of states with caucuses to participate? I looked up the process to be a delegate in my state and if you have any other commitments you can forget doing that. The distances you would have to travel and days you would need to be gone eliminate a lot of people with jobs, animals, children. Not to mention the money you would be out of pocket doing it all. I am sure it is not as hard to do it all in smaller states but to do it in my state you would have to be footloose, fancy free, and have some travel money.
