      OK. I'll bite. What, specifically, are YOU doing to increase the number of polling places and ease and convenience of voting in urban areas? Wrote answer is transparent BS if you aren't actively working to increase voting convenience for all, especially where it's harder now.https://twitter.com/justinamash/status/1037701488695562241 …

      You’re fooling no one. Straight-ticket voting is designed primarily to make it prohibitively difficult for someone to win running outside of the major parties; it saves little time for partisan voters. To fix long lines, we need more polling places and a longer voting period.

      We don’t vote on Michigan election laws in Congress. When I served in the state House, I voted to support no-reason absentee voting (http://www.legislature.mi.gov/(S(3dx254zk4wvfzijh13bjzzfj))/documents/2009-2010/Journal/House/htm/2009-HJ-04-30-036.htm …). I’ve been outspoken about the need to make voting easier. We must not do it by hurting candidates who run nonaffiliated.

      That's all very well and good, but there are things you can do in the Congress to make voting easier for everyone on all 50 states. What legislation in Congress have you introduced?

      Election process is traditionally within the purview of state governments, but I’m working on legislation to prevent the major parties from colluding to deny ballot access and equal protection to independent and third-party candidates. This will benefit all voters.

          Stuff like this is why I wish you could be under the @LPNational banner (or independent in a perfect world). Many oppose your good ideas simply because of the R next to your name, when forgetting party politics they would support them.
