I live in a rural subdivision. My voting place is a church and I don’t think I have seen more than three other voters lined up like those in Georgia and some other Republican states

            In Texas, the governor restricted the drop-off ballot boxes Democrats were more likely to use to one per county. That may work in Grundy County, but not for four of America’s biggest cities with a population of over a million. Georgia restricted the number of polling places in areas with high Democratic registered voters. Both are voter suppression.

            Several states are now vote-by-mail only and had no problems with counting votes. Some other states without experience in massive mail voting had lots of problems. Some started counting before November 3, some as voting day started, some at the end of the day, and the worst was ones that didn’t start to count until all the in-person votes were counted. This created lots of problems with some mail-ins still not counted on the 17th.

            Registration varies from state to state. Some allow for day of and other must present lots of documents far in advance. Some must present a picture I.D. and others a matching signature with documents. My signature is vastly different each time.

            Before the next federal election in 2022 a uniform bill needs to be passed and used to reduce, if not eliminate, suppression and late counts. One addition should be the person in charge of voting cannot be running for an office in that election as in Georgia governor’s election. The bill wouldn’t end all voter suppression and false claims of fraud but it would go a long way to making voting the process we say it is.
