Different rules for the same game.

 We all vote in the same election then why different voting rules and regulations in each state? Why does a political party get to control the rules and ultimately try to manipulate the deadlines in their favor? This year the Texas Governor limited the election drop boxes to one per county. Texas is big and in one heavily Democratic county that means one ballot box for 4.7 million people. That is clearly a voter suppression plan and it doesn't stop there.

In 36 states including  Georgia voters are expected to show photo identification. Why not all states? In Pennsylvania and Wisconsin they are fighting to restrict mail in votes. In Mississippi absentee ballots must be stamped and signed by a Notary Public. Is this a coordinated effort to stop folks from bothering to vote? Is this how career politicians keep their jobs for decades? Is voter suppression just part of the game or is it inherently evil?

Is the best way to prevent voter fraud to prevent voting? We need national rules that apply to all in all states just like we can play Scrabble and Monopoly with the same rules in all states even if the game board looks a little bit different. And make it easier to vote. We bank, trade stocks purchase stuff all on our phone on secure sites why not phone in our votes? We all have our social security number to insure our identity even give every citizen their own bar code for backup personal identity with individual passwords. Make this Republic for all of us easier to be good active citizens in our destiny.
