<br />
<span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);"><em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;We should do everything we can to ensure that every voter who wants to vote has that opportunity to exercise their rights and hold lawmakers accountable. This plan has strong bipartisan support and will simply make it easier for people to vote.&quot;<br />

After suffering devastating losses in the last election I guess they are looking for anyway to manipulate the vote in their favor. Allowing people to vote without verification, that the &ldquo;actual voter&rdquo; is making the choices, is fraught with the possibility of fraud.<br />
