Voting

Yesterday I saw this sign outside the polling place. I’ve seen this sign before… it or some version of it has been there every year since I started voting in Utah a decade ago. I’ve never paid it much mind. Because why should I? Nothing here is even remotely an imposition for lawful residents/voters. So why are “voter ID laws” so controversial elsewhere?

If simply proving you are a legal voter is so troubling to some people, just imagine how tweaked they’d get if my plan for instituting fractional votes based on the voters multiple-choice test results, testing for basic math skills and understanding of civics (history, what the Constitution says, what your rights are and what they *aren’t,* etc.) was instituted as it really should be.
