I tried to make sense out of this. A bill was drafted up and entered (meaning it'll be talked about but never voted upon) by a Texas Republican Congressman (Brian Babin).
The bill basically says that only living Americans can vote, period. It would exclude dead people.
Intellectual folks and journalists would say that this is a joke and shouldn't even be publicly discussed. The problem is...if you walked around the nation, probably over 40-percent of people believe that dead people regularly vote in elections.
Proof? About every year....a dozen-odd stories come out, and some crazy story of a dead guy (for at least five years) has voted at least twice (always by absentee).
Right now....just in Michigan....there's talk of a 2,000-plus folks who voted but were certified as dead.
The odds of this bill passing? Zero. Maybe in two years when the House flips to Republican-majority? Maybe.
But who exactly is going to enforce this? The FBI? That's a joke.
Will they arrest anyone for dead-voting? It's very unlikely.
Will judges send dead folks off to prison? No.
Will some idiot journalists take up the rights of the dead voters, and suggest to you via some forum....that you are exhibiting some type of necrophobia-hated, and it's racist in some way?
Eventually, some idiot will research the topic....to find that nine out of ten dead voters are white, and that it's virtually impossible to find Republican Latino dead voters.
This will all end with some TV personality starting up a séance show where dead folks communicate back with the living folks....voicing their political feelings and that they desire to be heard one more time on voting. It's at this point that we learn that Uncle Ernest who was an iron-clad Republican for 88 years....recently after his death....he converted over to far-left liberal, and smokes weed in heaven.
Banana-republic stuff? Yeah....same level as you'd expect in Paraguay.
