Aside from the important question of why so many don’t vote and, in turn, hand over the decision-making – their very destiny – to the many others who do vote (but often don’t have everyone’s best interests in mind), the more critical question may be, “Is there anything we can do about it?”.

So far, nine states and the District of Columbia plan to hold universal mail-in elections in which ballots are automatically mailed to all registered voters without needing first to request one. This presents a host of election fraud issues, insofar as mail-in ballots make voter identity suspect and are often uncheckable.

Yet recent news reports in our nation seem to tell a different story today, and it’s one that seems increasingly obsessed with the colors of our skin, rather than the content of our characters; of what divides us, rather than what strengthens us.
