Our democracy is broken and House Democrats just passed a bold proposal to fix it (candidacy, ethical)

Once you implement voter ID the possibilities to improve the sytem become endless.

That's what county election commissions, registrar of voters, etc. were for, even pre-internet: to provide an easy-to-find place for people to register to vote.

It's also pre 90% of eligible voters having and ID.

Online registration

With voter ID you don't even need registration.

Naturally, if the Dims are all in and by themselves on a proposal, America is suspicious. This can be proven with gun control!

There's only one mission for the Left-----permanent power.

How do you propose fixing this?

Research commissioned by the Pew Center on the States highlights the extent of the challenge:

• Approximately 24 million—one of every eight—voter registrations in the United States are no longer valid or are significantly inaccurate.
• More than 1.8 million deceased individuals are listed as voters.
• Approximately 2.75 million people have registrations in more than one state.

The real goal, of course, is to make it easy to cheat.

voter ID would help but garbage like this will not.

You beat me to it ^^^
When democrats start supporting voter ID I will then take them more seriously in their quest to “protect our democracy and elections.”

Apparently our Democracy can only be “saved” if Dead People and children are allowed to vote .... and the Democrats are guaranteed a win.

Democrat politicians trying to fix anything just makes me think of The Three Stooges.

Why would they agree to the one thing that would make the entire thing a sham? They want all of that proposal in place BECAUSE they want everyone, no matter if legal, to vote.
