Both Arizona and Georgia have slowly been transitioning from solid Republican strong holds and are now "purple" states. Why? Both Phoenix and Atlanta are growing expanding cities, that attract businesses, which in turn attract young, educated workers from all around the country.<br /><br />Republican policies are not popular with at least 50.1% of the country which is why they lose. Not acknowledging and adapting to what the majority of the country wants is why they are losing.

The procedure was not carefully controlled for eligibility, accuracy and citizen confidence.

Alas, I'm in the minority. I do feel strongly that voting should have a participatory bar to clear. If you truly want something, go get it. I don't believe it's too much to ask to produce ID to vote. I do not accept the argument that it places an undue burden on underprivileged urban voters. The nearest DMV to my rural childhood home was 45 minutes away. There was not an abundance of folks without a divers license.<br />If you want something you need to put in the work.

A canvass ALWAYS follows an election, regardless whether there are MIBs. It always takes about a week. Results in close races remain that way. This has been the history of voting, but you just have not been paying attention. <br /><br />You take this canvassing process and use it to attack MIBs. You claim everyone likes it, but your own comment and GOP refusal to use this form of voting are evidence that this form of voting is controversial. I submit the real reason you dislike this form of voting is it is more small "d" democratic. It expands voter access to people who simply are unable to stand in line at the polls bc they have to work two or three jobs or may have children or might be caregivers. <br /><br />You wish to depress turnout so only the more wealthy can vote. I submit your objection has nothing to do with faith in the system. Examine your heart.

I had walked many miles in a New Jersey state park election day. I have indulged in many rationalizations as I try to poorly justify my failure to vote. "I always vote, this won't matter", "too tired and dirty", "needed a shower to avoid exposure to any lingering ticks". And now I read this article. Damn it, I knew who was getting my vote, but, crap, I did not go. Votes do matter.
