For the People

For the People

USA Today is reporting that moderate Joe Manchin will join Democrats in supporting the For the People Act, a piece of voting legislation that strengthens voting rights. A no-brainer, right? Who would oppose a voting rights bill? 

Republicans have lined up to oppose the bill. Trump's big lie that the 2020 election was stolen has the support of Republicans, even those Trump has insulted in the past. And why not? Thirty percent of the American population lives in right-wing nutter land, and the party of Trump has those votes sewn up. Any politician would love to know he or she has a full one-third of the American public in his or her pocket. So, insult my wife? No problem.

The USA Today editorial supports the conservative proposal for the requirement of a voter ID, and the idea that Democrats have vowed to fight. Why? Because, they say, some people do not have state or federally issued IDs. I, for one, agree with conservatives. State-issued IDs are not all that difficult to attain. Here in Texas, one can receive a state ID on line or through the mail. What is the ID-less individual's excuse for not having one?
