That's the wrong conclusion. If two Democrats were on the ballot, they would likely still both lose because of first past the post voting. If you really want to support "making elections more democratic" push for ranked choice voting, or proportional representation.

In case you're asking in good faith... The downside is that non-citizens voting is simply not a problem. The number of cases is extremely low, there's nothing to "fix" here. The biggest impact of this policy would be that actual American citizens who do not have, or lost, or forgot to bring their proof of citizenship will not be able to vote. It will predominantly affect poor and marginal populations. People that don't have a passport, don't have easy access to their birth certificate, or aren't aware of the new regulation. Fewer people voting is 100% the goal with this policy.

I didn't take their comment as sarcasm, just a bit snarky...I think you're both on the same page here

Face looks too pale for a spotted owl. Lacks the white x. Also habitat...seeing one in a residential area means almost certainly a barred. You're seeing its back which can look pretty spotted on a barred owl.

Very superb visitor :)
