Apologies in advance for posting politics again, but this issue is one that seems like it should be getting a lot more attention and I’m baffled as to why it isn’t. In the past week several membes of Congress announced plans for a Count Every Vote Act whose goal is to improve the electoral process by providing greater transparency and making the voting process more consistent. This issue seems like one that any politician could use to make themselves look good, yet there is an eerie silence surrounding it. I’m stumped as to why there isn’t a ton of media coverage and political support for this bill; if anyone objects to this idea I’d love to hear your reasons for doing so, as I can’t see any reason why it would be a bad thing.
