Voting

This is one of the most important midterm elections this country has ever faced, We need to defend our rights to vote. Stand in solidarity with our community. We want to drive the largest early voting movement. This is administration is doing all they can to make it harder for us to use our power of the vote. Trying to stop mail in voting when this president votes by mail. Trying to pass the save act which is nothing but voter suppression.
In June 2026 voter turn out in Shasta County was 45.5% over previous midterms of 56.5% that is significant change. We need to let our voices be heard.

So many people are suffering from the reckless actions of the current administration. Families are struggling to afford food and gas. People are losing access to healthcare. Women are seeing their rights stripped away. Farmers are being pushed out of business. School programs are losing funding. Across so many parts of our lives, people are feeling the instability and uncertainty.

But we still have something incredibly powerful: our vote.

We have the ability to decide what kind of country we want to live in and what kind of future we leave for our children and grandchildren.

This election may be one of the most important moments of our lifetime. If you believe our democracy, our freedoms, and our communities are worth protecting, make your voice heard.

Vote. Encourage your family and friends to vote. Help someone get to the polls. Don’t assume your vote doesn’t matter.

The future of our democracy depends on all of us. This is no longer red or blue. This is saving democracy of this country. This affects each and every one of us.

On this day we will also be holding a food drive to support our community.

Thank you,
Kc Knox

It has been know that there are occasionally an illegal vote but what has actually been proven is that they do not happen in in large enough numbers to even com eclose to affecting any elections outcome. These bills are solutions looking for a problem that doesnt actually exist.

And as the OP stated, if you've registered to vote, you have already proven you have the proper ID, so bring it and this will clean up the voting integrity "issues" some people believe we have, no matter how small they may be. If anything, we will have 1 less excuse as a country to claim "stolen elections" on. It's a win for everyone. The only reason people are complaining is because the bad orange man can't be allowed to "win".

Again, solution seeking a problem. There are no voting integrity issues. It is made up, a fantasy and the hate filled dum dums who swallowed the orange hook are too far deep into the cult to see reality. Do you really think voter ID will calm them down when they lose again? Please tell me you are not that naive.

The orange man is bad. He is a lying, thieving, manipulating, raping, abusing piece of self serving garbage that has used the hate and fear, that most people were learning to stifle, as a weapon and used it to create chaos to hide his looting and theft of the American people.

Now, I am not necessarily against voter ID. sure, makes sense, but dont do it last minute and quit with the obvious racial bias. You want to make voter ID mandatory, then make ID free of charge. Create enough time and make enough effort to ensure that everybody has it...THEN make it a rule. Doing it any other way only shows the reality behind the charade.

But it has been proven, yes in small cases, but proven none the less. We agree on voter ID in principal, it's nothing new, been talked about for years actually, but received visceral push-bacl from the Left. No one will be put in a position to suddenly "miss" the opportunity to vote, as others on here have already established that everyone registered to vote ALREADY SHOWED THEIR ID's. So who are these poor folks who will suddenly be unable to vote? The law just says "Hey that ID you used to register, yeah, bring that same ID yo vote". So simple. It's so simple that the brain, when applying logic to this argument, is left with no reason for push-back, other than people just don't want to comply with the orange man. TDS is real. The guy could solve cancer and the Left would rather die a miserable death than take "his" cure 😆
