Anti-Democratic Body Slam May Save Democracy in USA

Body slamming a reporter is a reprehensible anti-democratic act, even if in reaction to a reprehensible provocation, but it may save democracy in the United States if it finally motivates “liberals” to slam and eliminate – or at least cut back – early voting. There is a sense that the people who voted prior to Election Day in Montana made the difference in electing the candidate in Montana who body-slammed a reporter. As a result, enough people in America may finally be motivated to eliminate or cut back early voting, even if for the wrong reason. Early voting – especially weeks in advance -- is anti-democratic for a few reasons.

1. It increases the chances of voter fraud;
2. it increases the chances a person may vote more than once;
3. it increases the chances a person may vote in more than one jurisdiction;
4. it increases the chances a person may forge his/her name before voting;
5. it furthers the chances of voter fraud in the absence of requiring voters to identify themselves before voting;
6. it unlevels the “playing field”;
7. it enables voters to vote on essentially two differently perceived candidates,
8. it allows people to vote on a candidate before he or she changes his/her position on any number of issues; and, perhaps above all,
9. it encourages people to vote on a person without having the most complete understanding of the candidate that is possible on Election Day.
