“Increasing the ability of American citizens to participate in our electoral process is an important task that should be supported by all. However, with increased access to voting comes the danger of fraud and abuse within our democracy. Many of the laws passed today have been hastily thrown together in the name of ‘progress’ and ignore the safeguards we vitally need to ensure the integrity of our elections. Expanding access to the polls without addressing safety protocols to protect the integrity of our electoral process is a disservice to the voters of our state.”
