People who don't agree with you have the right to vote just as much as you do. You may have decided they have views that are wrong and erode your rights, but they still get to vote.
Attempts to stop them from voting either by making it a little harder or throw technical difficulties in their way is really just undemocratic.
Trying to manipulate the system so that some votes count less than others, while an old game, is also undemocratic as well as unfair. Now, in deciding the future of our country fairness may not be the most important thing, but it does say something about our character.
This country should be making sure every citizen is treated equally. When Rome was the dominant power during it imperial days, one of the things that generally helped it citizens was just that. Being a citizen of Rome protected you to some extent.
While Rome had Provinces and we have States, citizens should have equal protection anywhere in this country.
The allegations of voter fraud are really just a manipulation designed to help one side hold onto power.
Think about some old Westerns where Ranchers tried to prevent sheepherders from having a say, because the sheep made the land unsuitable for ranching. I gather sheep graze the grass too deep preventing it from recovering. If you watched those movies and I feel like there were a number. most of us sided with the sheep herders, at least I thought we did. Maybe we were a nation of Rancher sympathizers?
One of the great fallacies in this nation is that the big cities and immigrants take money from the rest of the country. It's really the opposite, the cities pay much more in taxes than the rural states.
