I grew up and voted in West Viginia when it was blue and two governors went to jail; studied, worked and voted in Mayor Daley's Chicago where lots of city council members and three Illinois governors went to jail, was a DC lawyer when Bill Clinton was impeached, voted in Marion Barry's DC before he went to jail, lobbied Democrats in Congress for a living; vote in Don't it Make My Brown Eyes Blue Montgomery Couty Maryland, and hope to survive the nuclear consequences of the 2020 Steal.

I preternaturally distrust elections.

And for the sake of "our democracy," I favor stringent voter registration and ID laws, a voting age of 25, voting only by US citizens, leaving the Electoral College as is, and repealing the 17th Amendment.
