"I am pretty sure that Dope's answer would depend upon who those people are likely voting for."
Put another way.....
One of the biggest security threats to voting is the distributed nature of voting locations. Even a small rural state has dozens of voting locations throughout the state. Medium sized urban states have hundreds of places to vote throughout the state, and I am too lazy to check, but I wouldn't be surprised if a large, populous state like California has well over a thousand different voting locations throughout the state.
Each of those locations require some duplicative effort and having so many are a logistical nightmare which creates more opportunities for a security breakdown.
It would be much, much easier to maintain election security if there were fewer voting locations.
So if there was a proposal to improve election security to limit voting locations within the state. Let's say each state is only allowed to have 5 voting locations throughout the state. These locations would be within the 5 biggest population centers throughout the state. I mean everyone within the state is still allowed to vote, but they have to drive to one of the 5 biggest population centers within the state and vote there.
It would make keeping the elections secure much easier.
Obviously it would make it tougher for lots of people to vote. Especially for those who did not live near one of those 5 biggest population centers. If a person lived in rural Texas and had to drive a few hours to Dallas, Houston, or San Antonio, park, wait in long lines, vote, then drive a few hours home, a lot less rural people would be voting. But..... Election security would be much higher.
I don't think Dope would support those policies even though they make elections more secure. It is because it requires his "tribe" to jump through a lot more hoops in order to vote, so he doesn't want to make elections more secure that way. Requiring voters to have to show a very specific valid ID in order to vote places hoops to jump through for poor people, minorities, and women. Those are groups more closely associated with Dope's opponent's "tribe", so he has no problem putting extra hoops in front of them to have to jump through in order to vote.
