CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

How would this be enforced?
What if everyone had to prove their citizenship to register to vote?
If enacted, the SAVE America Act would create hurdles for potential voters and election officials alike. By� Nathaniel Rakich �for Votebeat Presidents’ Day is always the hardest holiday to shop ...www.dailykos.com
Supposedly the SAVE act is for new registrants, but this would be weaponized IMO with voter purges
In my state, they can remove people from voter rolls without notice.
Voting rights groups sue Ohio over law cancelling registrations without notice • Ohio Capital Journal
Voting rights groups contend an Ohio law signed late last year relies on shaky data to remove voters from the rolls when federal law doesn’t allow it — all without providing notice to the voters facing removal.ohiocapitaljournal.com
Ohio Senate Bill 293’s most notable change was the elimination of a four-day grace period for absentee ballots. But the measure also directs the secretary of state to comb through the voter registration database monthly to remove suspected noncitizens on the rolls.
What could be wrong with that? The voting rights groups contend Ohio’s law relies on shaky data to remove voters when federal law doesn’t allow it — and without providing notice to the voters facing removal.
___
The biggest, and most obvious fault in Ohio’s law is its apparent violation of the National Voter Registration Act’s 90-day quiet period.
The 30-plus year-old statute that required voter registration at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles also placed limits on the systematic removal of people on the rolls.
State officials can do as much list maintenance as they want so long as they don’t do it during the 90 days before a federal election.
The idea is simple and well-established: cancelling a person’s registration right before an election gives them little chance to correct the issue if they were removed in error.
“Because the secretary ‘shall’ institute citizenship database reviews every month,” the complaint states, “he will necessarily institute at least two (and possibly more) systematic removal programs during the NVRA’s prescribed ‘quiet period.’”
Would there be “vote police”? Tabularly constables?
“Hello, did you, ‘citizen,’ vote for [so&so] candidate?”
Man this is going to be “fun”.
