How Illinois is not the worst state to live in rankings-wise is a mystery to me.

Briefly...

Some simple solutions to avoiding voting circuses like Broward County:

--Require voter ID, no exceptions.

--No more early voting, period.

--Registration must be 90 days before an upcoming election to be eligible to vote in said election.

--With the exception of military and folks overseas, no more voting by mail.

--Eliminate "divining voter intent" bullshit. Either you follow the rules or your ballot gets chucked.

--Anyone who is not a citizen who is caught voting gets five years in prison.

--Anyone caught willfully and knowingly enabling a non-citizen to vote gets ten years in prison.

Also worth consideration but not likely to be undertaken:

--If you are on public assistance within six months of an election, your eligibility to vote in that election is suspended. Exceptions to this rule would include (i) food stamps, (ii) receiving unemployment benefits, (iii) if you are a veteran.

Ted Cruz And Beto O’Rourke Talk With Texans, Pose In Photo Together, Showing Us That Civility Isn’t Dead

Believe it or not children, there was a time when political adversaries could be close friends. John Adams and Thomas Jefferson are perhaps the most famous such pairing but there was also Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas, Ulysses S. Grant and James Longstreet, Barry Goldwater and John F. Kennedy, Goldwater and Hubert Humphrey, Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill, Antonin Scalia and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

To be clear, I am not saying Beto O'Rourke and Ted Cruz will ever be that kind of friendly to one another. However, even showing we can have civility among political adversaries is something that is very badly needed in this day and age so for this, they both deserve a fair share of credit!

Briefly...

I want to propose the following solution to the Accosta situation:

President Trump should restore Accosta's press credentials and then proceed to never call on him at press conferences ala what Mr. Obama regularly did with the Fox News journalist at his press conferences. Trump could even call it "The Obama Rule."

I wish people would stop using the phrase "voter intent". What they really mean is "this person was too stupid to read the instructions." #FloridaRecount

^^^THIS!!!

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.
— Lt.-Col. John McCrae (1872 – 1918)
