A Letter To the Editor:
All I hear from some people is
they hate Voter ID laws and the cutting back of early voting.
The people hate SB 36 and didn't want their votes cut down. I ask the
people where were you during the 8 days of early voting. The total
number in a city of nearly 300,000 people with about 190,000 voters, the
number of early voters was, 560, so about 70 people per day voted.
There were more people at City Council chambers complaining about SB 36
then voted, can this prove my theory that the protesters mostly don't
vote or live outside the City. I like people to understand that early
voting is not a right, its a gift. There are states that don't have
early voting or as much, some have by mail. So if we are going to
complain, THEN VOTE. There are some that naturally complain and if the
voting machine was to come to their front door, they complain why they
couldn't come in their living room, some people do nothing but complain.
