re: Saban getting political.

Without looking, can anyone tell me what's actually in the bill?

---

quote:

---

make election day a national holiday, aimed at making easier for all voters to get to the polls that day

---

No issue really there

quote:

---

Would require states to have early voting for at least two weeks prior to election day, including nights and weekends

---

Who is paying for the man power to oversee this?

quote:

---

allow voting by mail with no excuses needed, and voters could put their ballots in drop boxes

---

This is a major concern

quote:

---

require that states make voting more accessible for people with disabilities

---

Here they provide transportation to and from the polls.

quote:

---

require that states that require IDs for voting would have to broaden the types of identification acceptable.

---

This saying they will not override states requiring ID but more forms of ID excepted. Which I assume needs to be a photo ID.

quote:

---

States would also have to offer same-day voting registration and online registration and also make it easier to register at places like departments of motor vehicles.

---

Not sure why if you are allowing state to have early voting. But in NC when you register with DMV for any type of ID you register to vote as well.

quote:

---

It also limits removing voters from voter rolls.

---

I do have an issue with this as I have seen many validated reports of people voting who have already died.

quote:

---

The bill declares that the right of a U.S. citizen to vote in any election for federal office shall not be denied or abridged because that individual has been convicted of a criminal offense unless, at the time of the election, such individual is serving a felony sentence.

---

Do not agree here but whatever

quote:

---

the bill sets forth provisions related to election security, including by requiring states to conduct post-election audits for federal elections.

---

This would become a requirement not based on request of a candidate. So a good option I feel

quote:

---

It would also impose new rules on how campaigns are paid for by limiting the use of so-called dark money by political action committees. Any group that spends more than $10,000 to influence an election would be required to disclose all donors.

---

The one thing I agree needs to happen, especially with a super pac.

quote:

---

The bill also includes safeguards to ensure fair resolution of discrepancies between a voter’s signature on a mail ballot and their signature on file with election authorities.

---

quote:

---

Any mail ballot postmarked on Election Day that arrives within seven days would need to be counted

---

If you are going to force states to open the polls up two weeks early I see no reason to mail on election day which by the way contradicts making a National holiday for voting because the post office would not be open and you would not be able to have it post marked.

quote:

---

Automatic voter registration: The bill would make automatic voter registration (AVR), which 19 states and the District of Columbia have already adopted, the national standard.

---

Seems simple. Go to DMV get ID and be registered to vote. No need for same day and everything is covered.
