Everyone is mentioning “Free and Fair” elections. Could someone speculate on what part is “free”. Certainly the person losing a days pay to stand in line would not think it “free”. The amount of money spent trying to convince folk don’t sound like it’s “free”. Paying for documentation to prove your eligibility don’t sound “free”.
So what part is “free”.. and as to “fair”, gerrymandering.. removing easy access to polls.. poll watchers armed to the teeth.. kind of removes the “fair” part as well.
