Steve Shaw says: If there is a feeling that voting is not secure and vulnerable to fraud, then you have to do something.

I suppose it's true that this "feeling" exists. Many Republicans are still convinced that Joe Biden was fraudulently elected. The trouble is, this "feeling" was something that has been methodically instilled by the Republican Party over a number of years, and especially by Donald Trump throughout 2020. This propaganda has instilled a belief that there are individuals from the unwashed masses all over the country who are voting fraudulently. Trump also alleged that there was fraud in the 2016 and 2018 elections, and launched an investigation of the 2016 election that determined that there was no fraud.

We Democrats also think there's fraud, and the fraud we allege is that Republican legislators all over the country are enacting laws to make it more difficult for the unwashed masses to vote. We haven't called it fraud, but that's what it is.

So, we're at an impasse.
