Also, early on in his presidency Trump called for an investigation into voter fraud because that was his excuse for losing the popular vote. That investigation concluded that there was no evidence of fraud if I remember correctly. Do you have any differing info about non-citizens registering to vote, windsock? I'd be interested to hear it (= not being sarcastic )

After all, early voting has already started, the election closes in a week and no move has yet been made to lift the street-address requirement afaik.

The questionable conduct of the bureaucrats above is voter supression, North Dakota style. Other scams are underway in Georgia and Texas. Meanwhile, the situation in Dodge City Kansas is a little more nuanced: Is it due to suppresion or official bumbling that Dodge City has just one principle Polling Station to serve 13,000 voters? Or that the Polling Station is in a difficult-to-reach civic center out of town? " The civic center just happens to be in the heart of the white part of Dodge City and next to the country club and its golf course," according to the article below. Handy for some, I suppose, but probably not for Latino voters living the wrong side of the tracks.
