Good News on Voting

 No, not in Congress.  Republicans there are determined to keep the Democratic vote down.  The only way they can win is to keep Democratic voters from voting, and they are willing to do that, democracy be damned.

No, not in the Pennsylvania legislature.  The current bill now being pushed would force mail-in ballot users to include a copy of a photo I.D.  How many residents of the Lansford High Rise do you think have one of those?

The good news comes from Priorities USA.  It is a Democratic super PAC, and it is about to spend $20 million in a voting push.  It isn’t nearly enough, given the obstacles that are being put in place in states like Alabama, Georgia, Texas, and Pennsylvania, but it is a start.

  1. Even if one has an ID, how do they get a copy made and where. I thought that I read somewhere the our counties would be required to furnish a voter there ID card, but again how about the copy? Just another hurdle by the Republican's to suppress the voters.

  2. Presently the Republican's are pushing through a bill that will not allow for one to require a vaccine ID card. So why is it that they want to require one to have ID in order to vote. Is one can lie about being vaccinated they can do the same when voting.

  3. The one that gets me is that an employer can't ask for proof of a vaccine, but can take a test to see if you are using marijuana.
