is not the moral equivalent of not being able to vote.  How about this idea which I have proposed before.  Let's really make everybody equal.  Every citizen who wants to vote must obtain a voter ID card to be used for one and only one purpose...to vote.  The catch is everybody from the CEO of Home Depot to the guy that picks up his garbage must appear in person and wait in line for their turn at the voter registrar's office to obtain this ID.  Sound difficult and overly complicated, too inefficient and time consuming, maybe overly intrusive and stupid?  Now you may know how an 85 year old black lady with severe arthritis, no drivers license, no checking account or charge cards, and no children within 100 miles might feel.  Not all citizens live in the same world you and I do.  Another concern for me...how is it logical that you can't vote without a picture ID but you can get the picture ID that allows you to vote without a picture of yourself or anybody swearing you are who you are.  Is that ''rampant'' fraud all you Trump cultist are so worried about ok it it occurs at the DDS or voter registrar's office instead of at the place where voting occurs?

I agree that the ideal way to vote is a ballot marked by hand by the voter (that describes the absentee ballot BTW) and then counted by a machine but with the hand marked ballot being retained in the case a recount is needed.  Guess what, that is exactly the system proposed by the Deomcrats in the legislature when GA updated its statewide voting system in 2017 but the Republicans rejected that proposal in favor of the all digital system where the ballot is marked electronically at the direction of the voter rather than by the voter him or herself.  The digital system, which was more than twice the cost of the paper ballot system supported by the Democrats, was selected by the majority Repubs in the legislature and Domimion, that's right Dominion, was the company selected by the selection committee appointed by Secty of State Kemp (R), Gov Nathan Deal (R) and Speaker David Ralston (R).

Who cares what Herschal Walker does or when he does it?
