Donaven Haderlie 10/27/2021 8:59 AM

What are the ways in which voters are prohibited from or discouraged from voting in your region and/or state? What could be done to get rid of these barriers?

Some things that they are proposing include: making the only acceptable ID a State ID, if there is a spelling error in a persons name on their registration their vote is not counted, making it so you can’t sign an affidavit saying it’s you in order to vote.
