Thread Name: BS: The New Non Voting America
Subject: RE: BS: The New Non Voting America
Well I don't live in your country and I find it difficult to glean precise motives for wanting to change voting laws in the ways that I've seen described (I read your link, Bill). If there is a feeling that voting is not secure and vulnerable to fraud, then you have to do something. The trick for a civilised country is to be extremely sensitive to the unintended consequences of each change in the law and not rush through clumsy measures that make it harder for minorities to share in your democracy. If the system isn't broke, and the consequences are intended, then we can start accusing people of racism, covert or not so covert. I'm not over there so you'll have to tell me what's what. Is it OK if I choose who to listen to? ;-)
