Who do you think you are?

Does anybody else agree with me that it is time . . .
. . . to take the running of elections out of the hands of the states, and instead impose uniform national standards regarding voter eligibility, access to early voting, poll hours, etc.? What's going on with Rick Scott, not to mention the Secretary of State for Ohio, and other GOP officials around the country is simply ridiculous. What's more, the fact that these various suppression tactics must be challenged individually, in state courts, creates a needless difficulty for challenging electoral corruption. What do you all think?
There are a few dissenting votes for this proposal but those are obviously low-post count trolls.
But that's the idea, isn't it? Take what you want and ignore the rest.
Here's the highlight reel.

13. I'd add that

37. I think its a good idea. But the best measure would be
to outlaw the disenfranchisement of any ex-convict who has served their time.
That would take away the incentive to push people through an expanding prison-industrial complex.
If you outlawed that and then someone still did not allow ex-felons to vote would that person still be allowed to vote?

42. What's being a liberal got to do with it?
Every person in a democracy must pitch in, or hte democraxy doesn't work. Freedom does not mean "**** you all I do whatever i want," it does come with responsibilities to your fellows.
We accept that Jury Duty is an essential and mandatory citizen function.
Most of us accept that taxation is an essential and mandatory citizen function.
Why should voting, the cornerstone of our system, be any different?
Your responsibility is to **** off and leave me alone.
Pay for your own shit, you lazy worthless superstitous, ****tard.

48. Okay, so I've created an online petition...
I'm not under any illusions concerning what will actually come of this. My hope, however, is that if enough interest is generated, it can at least be the start of a national conversation. If you agree, please sign it, and share it as widely as possible! Here's the link:

Uh huh.
It would screw up the Democrat machines pretty badly, rendering them ineffective.

For the DUmmies, this isn't about voting, it's about a day off with pay for the few that have jobs. With so many states having early voting, vote by mail and absentee voting, few people really have to take time off to vote.

Allow me to paraphrase, "Damn that Constitution!!!"

Let's just not allow any candidates but democrats and communists (BIRM) to be on the ballot.
