With the action by various governors signing laws redefining election laws — just exactly who is deprived of their right to cast a legitimate vote? As I see it, any U.S. citizen 18 years or over can cast a vote in the precinct that they are registered in. Is this denying a legit vote? Is the last statement untrue? Why, then, are Democrats, including our now President Joe Biden, campaigning against these legitimate laws passed by legitimate state Legislatures and signed into law by the governors?
Is it a repression of the vote to require an eligible person to vote in the precinct they are registered in? The Democrats and our president are off the rails.
I routinely buy adult beverages at my local grocery. Young checkout ladies routinely ask me my birth date (July 25, 1941). Am I upset? No, they are doing as instructed. Am I upset when at my local Theisen’s I’m asked to produce an ID to legitimize my charge account? No, this prevents fraud. Good grief, get real.
Isaiah 5:20: “They say that what is right is wrong, and what is wrong is right; that black is white and white is black; bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.” One so ancient wrote what is valid today.
