7. If we start to talk about felons being able to vote
It will become controversial. Though I think that should be a separate law.
This needs to be something clear and nonpartisan. We can point to all the voting irregularities that worked against the GOP as well as the Dems as reason to have safegurads.
Democrats need to sign up to be pollworkers and poll managers with their local elections officials.
Almost every polling place in this country is manned by old, frail republicans who have been doing it for 20+ years.
The number of Democratic poll workers is pathetic.
What the hell do you expect to happen at a polling place when everyone in control of the polling place is a republican?
Who is going to stop polling place disenfranchisement when everyone in control of the polling place is a republican?
Right now. Stop what you are doing and find out what it takes to become a poll worker for the very next election. This minute.
Be prepared on Monday morning to walk into work and tell your boss you'll be working the polls at every election in the future and you want to know if he/she is going to be unAmerican and deny you that right.
Let the old folks who have been running the polls retire. Bring fresh Democratic blood into the polling places where the votes are cast and the die is set for disenfranchisement.
