This needs to be a top priority before the mid terms. Clean that shite up and have fair elections.

Between the ActBlue sham drying up and policies such as this the mid-terms will be no cake walk for the Dems.

Maybe in 6 years they'll elect a non-cocksucker in Romney's old seat

Do you know why DC leans so much to the Left? Because those who desire power flock to it and Leftists believe that the federal government should be the Great Arbiter of Justice. The more power it has, the more justice and fairness it can spread across the country. They are okay with a large, controlling federal government because they believe that control mirrors their world-view (it does right up to the point where it doesn't, which is another topic).

With that in mind, do you really want the federal government to control voting laws in each state?

With the biometrics on phone and computers, I don’t know why you can’t just vote through a federal secured app.

No, you can't. The federal government is like a biological organism in that its primary goal is to keep existing but a very close second is that it's always seeking to grow. Get that camel's nose under the tent and the rest of the body will soon follow.

To prove this, how much power does the IRS have now versus when it was first created?

Or the FBI?

CIA?

USDA?

FDA?

EPA?

Hell, during COVID we watched the CDC somehow dictate a moratorium on evictions.

No, the idea that the federal government would willingly limit itself at just mandating proving citizenship is utterly destroyed by decades of history to the contrary.

This needs to be kept at the state level and conservatives/libertarians need to step the frick up to enshrine citizenship mandates in each state's constitution instead of wanting to give that power up to the federal government just because it's easier.

George Wallace is laughing his arse off at that statement.

I would like to see someone file a lawsuit against new york and california that whites are being discriminated against by not requiring id, DMV registration and mail outs for ballots, etc.

This sounds good, but you will never clean up the fraud in states like CA, NY, IL, MD, WA, and OR without a federal rule.

So, the choice is to cling to your small-government principles and accomplish nothing or use the federal government to implement minimal election integrity laws to help get more of the good guys elected.

Do you want to be morally right, or do you want to be effective, shift the culture where you can, and improve the country? Sometimes, it's best to take the wins where you can instead of only accepting the most ideal outcome.

The big question is whether or not Pa. will make sufficient changes. They have made some already.

Don't let Trump's control of the USPS affect future elections. End mail in voting now.
