kane...we are badly in debt. Federal debt is $17 trillion, $90 trillion in unfunded liabilities.
Most city, county, and states are struggling with debt and budgets.
I'm not saying that an absentee ballot should be affected one way or another because I don't know.
But I am saying that we are NOT the richest country on Earth. We are actually number "7" on the list (Qatar is the richest).
We are however number "1" for debt. (yay! USA! USA! We're number ONE!) lol
As far as "early voting"...I kind of wondered about that. I could have sworn that I had NEVER heard of such a thing until recently. And I was right!
I googled it. And it appears to be a local govt. choice? It appears to not have existed until 1994 and was never really used strategically by any campaign until the Obama Campaign figured out how to use it to their advantage in 2009.
Pretty interesting stuff. And now people think it's some kind of rights that they've always had! lol
Early voting is apparently not very well regulated yet and subject to...you guessed it: fraud.
Just thought it was interesting after I just googled it.
I KNEW I had never heard of that until recent years.
Can you just imagine our parents and grandparent's whining about "early voting" being cut down to "only" a few days? Lol!
Voting ALWAYS happened on one day...the Tuesday after the first Monday in November (except absentee balloting...which is really for American's living overseas and/or military overseas).
I guess these "poor" "minorities" need us to hold their hands, not ask for an ID, and give them a few weeks to vote.
