I would like all voters to have mandatory civics exams before voting . Just like a drivers license a voters license has responsibilities. Many people don’t understand how the government works. The history of Jefferson and Ben Franklin’s disagreements should be known to all.

Getting back to misinformation- Animal farm has a scene where the pigs rewrite the rules to favor the pigs over the others . “Some Animals are more equal than others . “

Careful that you don't suggest yourself out of the electoral process.

I shouldn’t vote if I can’t pass the civics test . There would be classes and a test and makeup tests. It is our greatest right and should be treated as such .

I watched how a bill becomes a law 😂 and that’s a good place to start. I have a well educated friend who thought she had to fill out the whole ballot . She didn’t understand the amendments but thought she had to vote on everything. There r more people who don’t even understand the basics. Sheriff is non partisan but if a party is listed people vote along the party line. We almost had a felon become sheriff because he listed democrat.
