“Whites of some means are more likely to move between states”? I’m not interested in discussing election security within the context of race, I’ll leave it to you focus on that. I prefer to look at measures that can be applied to everyone. How do we make in-person voting accessible to everyone, save for the few scenarios which make that impossible? How is it reasonable to require ID to drive, buy liquor, cigarettes, lottery tix, & on & on, but not to vote for the most important job in the world? Requiring ID & voting in-person addresses nearly every security concern, including voting in multiple states.
It depends on the state, some states require two hours off to vote with pay. But some don't require time off or pay. In states without that, taking time to vote is a big problem for wage earners compared to salaried (or investment class). In towns with poor mass transit, it can easily take two hours to go from a job to vote and back. To a person living paycheck to paycheck, that can easily be a problem.
We could move the elections to a weekend, or make it a holiday. After all, we don't want the elite to control things, do we?
Even in a one day vote, it would be easy to vote in Milwaukee and Chicago. What do we do for disabled people who can't go to the polls? What do we do for people who will be out of state or out of country? Doctors working in the ER, they often work 12 hour shifts?
I really do believe this, I would rather Trump win in a record-setting voter turnout than Harris in a tiny turnout even though I absolutely don't want Trump to win. We need participation, skin in game. We need people involved, having their voices heard. Even people who believe in fairy tales (the election was stolen) need to be heard. Making it far harder for ordinary folks to vote doesn't help. It is bad enough the long lines are almost always in very poor districts. Let's not make it even worse where only the "elite" can show up to vote.
