Ensuring election integrity is critical for the survival of a democracy and to convince citizens that the election process is not corrupted and unreliable.
The United States of America is supposed to be the beacon of freedom and democracy on the planet, our US Constitution is a brilliant document written by brilliant citizens trying to create a land of freedom and liberty free of tyranny. And yet we allow this assault by leftists / democrats on our election systems to permit fraud. Of the 47 countries in Europe today (Europe being the only continent with well-developed democracies), 46 of them currently require government-issued photo IDs to vote !!!
35 of the 47 countries do NOT allow absentee voting for citizens living in the country (only for military out of country and citizens working and living out of country).
France banned absentee voting in 1975 after significant fraud was identified (large scale vote buying operations).
England ended the practice of mailing out absentee ballots after 40,000 fraudulent votes were identified in 2004 from a muslim area of the city of Birmingham. Now a voter wanting an absentee ballot has to go pick it up in advance with their photo ID.
Our neighbor to the north Canada requires a photo ID to vote.
In Mexico believe it or not voters are required to be identified by biometrics (thumb print) along with a photo ID. And absentee voting is prohibited. These rules developed because of a long history of voter fraud time and again.
It is highly embarrassing that the United States of America has less reliable elections than other democracies on the planet. Fight to prevent the degradation of our democracy, vote Republican straight ticket and restore confidence in our system of government at all levels (local, state, federal).
