Better yet...make it so unless you at least have some tax liability, regardless of whether you actually owe anything....you don't get to vote.
Why don't you go for your real goal? To vote you must be male, white and own land. Blame it on the founding fathers.

Don't bother?

"In the 2006 election, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission ("EAC") reported that of almost 1 million absentee ballots requested by military and overseas voters, only about a third were ever counted; two thirds of the uncounted ballots were returned by the postal service without reaching the voters who requested them; another 10 percent arrived too late to be counted."

With that out of the way, the next question becomes, exactly what sort of revolting bag of **** would make light of depriving military personnel serving overseas the well-deserved right to vote?

Amazing, many Democrats want to give the vote to Illegal Aliens but don't want our service men and women to vote. Communist Radicals from the 70s have indeed taken over the party

Don't have to be any of those things to have some skin in the game.

There have been hacking stories daily
Because there have been "stories" does not give anyone the right to make sure every vote isn't counted. I don't really care how they do it as long it makes sure they are counted.

I'm actually surprised one can vote by fax or email. Doesn't seem secure at all.

The report has a whole lot of suggestions to make the overall process more secure. Thought you Right Wingers would love that. The electronic transmitted ballot is a tiny part of the overall and could be handled.
I would like to know what IT guy told him to engage a phishing email... was it Imran Awan?

No IT guy is going to suggest "yeah, go ahead, click it". None.

It could happen, giving the person is not there in person to cast a ballot. Everyone else does it by mail like out of state residents. I can’t send anything via fax or email

And y’all still spreading this lie of illegals voting like it’s gospel. It’s a reason trump let that claim go and stop the “investigation”. It’s FALSE

Nobody else can vote via email or fax.

It’s not a secure form of voting especially in this day in age

Out of country or state residents send via ballot via mail. There is no reason why mail doesn’t suffice for military member either
