Simplify Voting
Voting in the United States is a right of citizenship that is protected by the Constitution. Even so it has been a long hard fight for women and people of color to be able to exercise their right to vote. In the political scheme of things we have been told that we should endorse “EVERY VOTE COUNTS”, and that is simply not true.
There are deadlines for those wishing to cast their ballot for cities, county, state and national elections. In order to meet the criteria for casting your ballot it is a requirement to “REGISTER” in the precinct you reside in.
Not registered – Not voting!
So simple isn’t it?
Another hot button is with “ABSENTEE” voting, where in many states registered voters may request an absentee ballot in order to vote early in an election. The signature on an absentee ballot must match the signature on the voter registration form and/or voter registration database listing. Voters may not vote in person and by absentee ballot. It’s easy to have unsolicited absentee ballots filled out and mailed in, so as to cancel in person voting such as when absentee ballots are sent out in mass mailings to individuals who did not request them, opening a Pandora’s Box to fraud, vote stealing and ballot harvesting. This is especially true when signatures are not reconciled against voter registration cards or databases. It is a requirement for cast ballots in person or at the ballot collection boxes “POLLS” BEFORE the voting deadline on Election Day.
It is illegal for politicians and or “enforcers” to intimidate voters outside or inside the polling places. It is irresponsible for employees, supervisors and/or any other person to facilitate or restrict movement of neutral polling “judges” who are monitoring ballot processing, using intimidation tactics.
Lastly as it was reported in the 2020 Presidential Election, voting software manipulation can easily skew ballots tabulated by voting equipment, or by unscrupulous polling place personnel. Anyone who enables or participates in election interference for or against any political party must be held accountable and prosecuted. – RTM
