Voting should be in person, on Election Day

| August 8, 2023 1:00 AM

Election Day should be held at your local polling place, and you must go there to vote on Election Day.

I do not like mail-in ballots, early voting, or ballots mailed to you so you can drop your ballot in a drop box at various locations. There should be no early voting allowed unless you have an absentee ballot to be mailed in prior to Election Day.

Absentee ballots should be made available to anyone who cannot get to their polling place on Election Day. When you vote, you should have one or two forms of photo identification, and you must be a citizen of the United States of America and be able to read and speak English.

All ballots across the country must be counted and verified by election officials, and the results not be made public for 48 hours for every election, both local and national.

We have to clean up our country, and this would be a darn good place to start.
