DIES: Thoughts on voting reform proposals

Published 9:30 am Wednesday, July 26, 2023

I read with interest the Georgia Congressional Republicans’ desire to inflict more “reforms” on the voters of Georgia. U.S. Rep. Barry Loundermilk (wasn’t he giving tours in the U.S. Capital right before the Jan. 6, 2021 riot?) wants to make voting more cumbersome making sure that fewer voters vote.  

Tighter ID’s for voting is the Republicans’ goal.  Will voters have to give a blood sample to prove who they are?  To repeat:  NO voter fraud affecting the final outcome was determined to be a factor in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.  In a democracy, we actually want more voters to vote to truly express the will of the majority of the people.
