One of the few things POSOTUS has ever said that I agree with - voting should be mandatory - but excluded for those on Welfare as that would be a conflict of interest - like congress voting for their raises.
ReplyDeleteVoting should take place after presentation of verification of identity - to prevent voting multiple times / in place of another voter! Considering that identification is required to fly in a plane, drive a car, cash a check, buy booze/ciggies, along with so many other activities...that excuse is part of the official smell of DelMarVa!
