New voting laws

 Many in the tv and print media are claiming the various voting laws being enacted across the country are racist because they are aimed at suppressing mostly poor and black voters. I've voted since I was 18 maybe twenty when I voted for Reagan. Always voting in person, in those early years I probably would have been considered poor never really had a problem voting. When the media portrays these laws as racist they are insulting the very people they claim to want to protect. The poor and blacks are not too stupid or poor or lazy to vote   they can figure out how to get a picture ID or get to the polls. 

Democrats are constantly griping about proper identification being a hindrance to voting or how purging inactive registrations is all voter suppression. Then they wonder why people call into question the validity if elections. Trump is the most recent example but Stacy Abrams and the Dem's are still questioning the results of failed gubernatorial bid several years ago.

Voting should be as easy and secure as possible so I make the following suggestions.

 All voting will be in person, at a persons proper precinct no provisional ballots.

No picture ID no vote.

All voting will take 2 days Saturday and Tuesday.

Absolutely no media reporting till the polls close Tuesday night.

Absentee ballots are only issued hospitalizations or out of the state.

No ballot counting physical or mechanical is allowed without each party having a representative present.



Voting is a civic and community event where people should gather and see their neighbors sharing in decisions and working to make their communities better.  Voting shouldn't be so much about every person voting but encouraging everyone to want to vote.
