The dang truth

My dang truth
I think our country's governance will be impaired until there is a resolution of the toxic, existential political war between Republicans and Democrats over voting, and making it easier to vote or harder to vote. I think Republicans seek to make it harder to vote because they think that helps them in elections, and Democrats are vice versa.

Trump's allegations in the lead up to the 2020 election that the election was corrupt and rigged, Trump's loss in the election, and Trump's continuation of his allegations about massive voter fraud in the election are a main instigator of the existential political political war between Republicans and Democrats over voting rights.

Trump's allegations about voter fraud, and the role of Trump and those allegations in causing the January 6th insurrection in the Capitol, are further contributory to the intensity and dominance of the dire, toxic political war over voting rights, with Republicans claiming what they are doing is in the name of election security, and Democrats saying that is false and election security is satisfactory in the United States.

I think election security in the 2020 election was fine, and Trump and other Republicans are far off base in their claims of voter fraud.

Republicans and Democrats who desire a resolution of the political war over voting rights should endeavor a bipartisan investigation and evaluation of the amount of voter fraud in the 2020 election. The National Association of Secretaries of State is bipartisan in its membership and has an immense  amount of collective knowledge and experience regarding voter fraud and election security. The organization and its members should endeavor to distill the same, particularly related to the 2020 election, and put forth a statement and report to the American public. Such could help quell the destructive political war that is happening.


Others' dang truth
Dana Hall McCain has expressed her dang truth in a January 8th op/ed entitled "Alabama's sins of omission. 

Cameron Smith has the below op/ed, entitled "Voter suppression is for losers."
