Elections are decided by who votes. Frankly as a voter I am glad not to have to share that power with those who can't be bothered to do their civic duty. Let the people who care about the community make the decisions for the community.

Now there are various schemes for making voting easier which are not the direction we should be taking imo. Voting by mail, or worse email, even using electronic voting machines. All these modern methods just beg to be corrupted and manipulated by someone.

I want the act of voting to include a voter showing up in public somewhere, having their ID verified as a properly registered voter of that precinct, and then having some privacy to cast a hard copy secret ballot that has to be hand counted, tabulated and recorded by their fellow citizens. The only exception i'd make to those requirements would be military absentee ballots.
