The two party system has resulted in a dynamic where voter suppression occurs in many nefarious ways that are built into the system and designed to benefit whichever of the two parties hold power.
We need to enact a Voter Bill of Rights that will:
We need to enact a Voter Bill of Rights that will:
- Guarantee a voter-marked paper ballot for all voting;
- Require that all votes are counted before election results are released;
- Replace partisan oversight of elections with non-partisan election commissions;
- Celebrate our democratic aspirations by making Election Day a national holiday;
- Bring simplified, safe same-day voter registration to the nation so that no qualified voter is barred from the polls;
- Replace big money control of election campaigns with full public financing and free and equal access to the airwaves;
- Guarantee equal access to the ballot and to the debates to all qualified candidates"
We agree with the 2016 Republican Party Platform:
"Honest elections are the foundation of representative government. We pledge to protect the voting rights of every citizen, as well as their rights of conscience when they are harassed or denied a job because of their contributions to a candidate or a cause. We support state efforts to ensure ballot access for the elderly, the handicapped, military personnel, and all legitimate voters. We urge state and local officials to take all appropriate steps to allow voters to cast their ballots in a timely manner. We are concerned, however, that some voting procedures may be open to abuse."
