The ancient Greeks used to say, "You shall know a man by the friends that he keeps." Given the nature of their friends and advisers, what are we to conclude about the Republican party:
Stop the madness before us it stops!

I've never really understood how anyone could vote WITHOUT ID.

When I go to my polling place, all I have to do is say my name. A very sweet little old lady crosses it off in a big book while I watch. Sometimes, I point my name out in the book for her. Then she hands me a ballot.

What's to keep me from coming back in 20 minutes, and claiming to be my neighbor?
Or even, some person whose name I saw in the big book that is not yet crossed off?

There are far too many ways to perpetrate election fraud.
Let's get this one crossed off!

The people at my polling place know me pretty well. I was the first one to line up and vote in the presidential primary two months ago.

I used to vote by absentee ballot, but I wonder how long it takes for my ballot to be counted, so I dumped that habit and vote when it really matters.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105
