Why?

This is the elected official in each State who has jurisdiction over elections, who enforces the election laws (see Florida), and who rules on/decides any election controversies.

Things like producing and maintaining the election rolls, how late the polls are open, decisions about emergency actions to keep certain polls open after the normal closing time. Counting procedures and security, counts and recounts, etc.

You can see how having a Democrat in control of this position might make the difference between a Republican candidate winning and losing an election in any state.

Ideally, only an odd minority would vote by post: people living in remote locations (in places like Alaska), U.S. government employees stationed abroad (and spouses residing with them), U.S. servicemen (and spouses residing with them), college students, and shut-ins. The witless proliferation of convenience voting is an invitation to fraud, as is the wholly unnecessary resort to digital devices in tabulation.

That having been said, there are certain sorts of residences which should be deemed invalid as voting addresses, with those residing therein required to establish a notional residency with relatives and vote by post. That would include military base housing, college dormitories and apartment buildings, and custodial institutions like nursing homes, halfway houses, and group homes. The states should also be making a point to establish clearinghouses to detect people registered in multiple jurisdictions

Reps need honest voting rolls. And somehow to stop vote harvesting. Absentee voting, like I do from Slovakia, and mail-in voting locally are a bit different.

We need more polling place support. But those voters who can’t be bothered to “go vote”, well, the election doesn’t need their vote, and is likely more responsible without it.

Voters like a Free Lunch. And even when they know somebody else pays for it, so it’s not really free, as long as it’s Other People’s Money, many people want it. Even rich folk – see the 2008 TARP bailout of irresponsible rich bankers.

And now that the Democrats have perfected vote harvesting in CA, they no longer have to get the students to the polls. Just get them to register, and the party will take care of the rest!

Yes, and that should include paying state income taxes!

Ultimately, Democrats would extend the franchise to every human being (and maybe animals too) on the planet, if they could. They know the more voters there are, the higher number of ignorant voters, easily prone to manipulation by the MSM, the entertainment industry and academia.
