So how do you "instill confidence" by first having only a single polling place in Dodge City, KS, which has 13,000 registered voter, where the average for the state is only 1,200 people per polling place? And then how do you "instill confidence" by putting that single polling place OUTSIDE of the city, over a mile from the nearest bus stop? And then how do you "instill confidence" by sending notices to the people who have just registered to vote for the first time, that had the WRONG address for that single polling place? Could it be because Dodge City is the ONLY city in the State of Kansas where the majority of the registered voters are of Hispanic ancestry?

And then there's Waller County, TX, where the ALL White county administration has been trying for nearly 30 years to prevent the students at the majority-black Prairie View A&M University, a taxpayer-supported state university, from voting in the county. Even after a 1979 US Supreme Court ruling stated that college students are allowed to register AND vote where they go to school, the county has consistently ignored the court's ruling and every election they try another way to keep the students from voting. How does that "instill confidence" that the results of the election represents what the majority of AMERICANS want?

...are you then opposed to doing what is necessary to instill confidence in the election process or do you think that open warfare is the way to go?
