      I'll listen to the oppositional framing of why this is terrifying, with an open mind. But it sounds good to me so far.

      Education is extremely important.

        I’ll support anything that assures election integrity. If this does, great.

          One caveat...I have no problem with absentee voting, say, within 2 weeks on an election. Go by the courthouse or locally provided polling place (mall, precinct station, select schools), provide your ID and vote.

          Other than that, same day with ID. Maybe extend the voting hours a bit and open more polling places...

            Early voting has worked very well for us, but always in person with ID.

              @Mik said in A Call For Paper:

              I can live with that.

              I hate mail-in ballots. Too easy to perpetuate fraud.

                  @Mik What about others that live and work overseas?

                  (As an FYI, Taiwan does not allow any overseas voting. Voting must be done in person at your home town. No absentee. No mail in)
