I have largely lost my faith in the election system. Seeing things turn into a digital atmosphere further degrades accuracy. For a ballot should be equal in weight to a silver coin, not a digital magnetic wave that could evaporates like the blink of an eye. This is the 21st Century, to vote one should have a state issued ID card. When I watched ballots being counted in the St. Clair County Courthouse, and I seen multiple false addresses for mail-in ballots, signatures that didnt match, and newly people registered to vote from houses that have been abandoned for years. I have heard stories of deputy voter registers getting people to fill out voter information so the voter could have a ballot sent to their house, then that deputy throws away the paperwork, so they get a ballot to vote before the election. Which therefore hurt the minority party from ever winning office. I have a big problem with the media publishing details about people who were arrested for high profile crimes. The widespread publications of the media, creates a biased for a jury. In addition, The media exposure of heinous crimes creates too many copy cats crimes and causes no real fair justice for the accused. Its a lose-lose situation. When something becomes an issue, the media slowly devolves it or slowly becomes an issue until politicians act. Politicians are slow to act from terrible events, because they are worried about being re-elected and not being considered doing what the mainstream wants. As if the mainstream media is the boss of politicians? Politicians need not worry about the media. They need only worry about protecting American jobs, lowering the crime rate, and promoting local culture. I am very against judges being elected, for they will be much more leaning to the left when deciding cases due to having to be reelected. In general, they will be much more likely to grant probation, court supervision, and small fines. All judges should follow suit of the Supreme Court and hold the office for life, or until appointed to higher judicial seat. A judge that holds office for life has the ability to judge on what is traditionally a norm and what is the morally the right thing to do. There were Debtor prisons in the USA in the 1800s. Debtors prisons should be recreated in a state or two. It would be good to know that politicians cold get locked up for not having a balanced budget, and perhaps citizens in that state would be not excessively spending which could lead to less banks going default. The USA was at it greatest peak from the 1950s through the 1980s. Any politician that votes for new social/moral laws, or excessive budgets that would not have been accepted as a norm of the 50s-80s is just plain wrong. America has reached the pinnacle of opposite of culture, social laws, and radical budgetary spending from 1776. America is inevitably going to reverse back to what American life was like in the original 13 states, it all a matter of state rights.
