Voting Improvement Process VIP
Voting lines that are so long, they require pure physical endurance to vote are limiting access to the voting franchise. Some voters cannot take massive numbers of hours away from their job, while others cannot physically hold up under such conditions due to reasons of health and or disability. We can run our elections in a more efficient way and request that Congress utalize it's Constitutional authority in improving the voting process for all Federal elections.
Why is this important?
Long lines that stretch for blocks, standing and waiting for 4, 5, 7 hours is not helpful or healthy to our democracy. Voters who are white collar professionals, doctors, lawyers, they can afford to take long amounts of time away from work, not so for those who are nurses, teachers, bus drivers. Healthy people could stand in line for hours at a time, but those with disabilities, those with health problems, they are not physically able to stand for hours on end just to cast a ballot. This petition is created to force political leaders from all sides to resolve this issue, to improve the process for voting, to encourage and foster participation in American democracy by the entire voting eligible population.
