I Voted Already. Did You?

I voted already last week.

To rephrase the joke about voting “early and often,” I voted. but just once.

And in reference to another old voting joke, I had a pulse when I voted.

These days we have new electoral problems that are no joke.

Voter fraud zealots, mostly Republican, are now concentrating on “double-voting” as a way to possibly purge millions of black,Hispanic, and Asian American voters from the voter rolls, according to a national investigation by Al Jazeera America.

The effort is being done in 27 states that use the Interstate Crosscheck program. It’s a list of seven million names that are used to weed out double voters.

Voting twice is a high crime in democracy, a felony that will get you 2-10 years.
