Letter to the editor: Require all Americans to get a COVID shot before being allowed to vote

Posted

There is no denying that onerous voter ID laws have resulted in systemic voter suppression. Either that or lax voter ID laws have resulted in widespread election fraud.

Getting vaccinated for COVID-19 is the only way to save ourselves and our neighbors, if not mankind itself, from the pestilence that is COVID. Either that or the emergence of COVID has simply been used by the government/media complex to expedite the “fundamental transformation of America.” Vaccination requirements have become an integral part of that effort.

I have a plan to encourage people to vote and to discourage voter suppression. Require that all Americans get a COVID shot before being allowed to vote. Volunteers would administer shots at the polls. For those who prefer voting by mail, bands of needle wielding volunteers would roam around their neighborhoods giving COVID shots, registering voters and collecting ballots.



Requiring COVID shots for each ballot would not only discourage dead and nonexistent people from voting, but would also minimize the likelihood that otherwise legitimate voters would be inclined to cast multiple ballots.

For further incentive, a post election $1 million lottery would be held. All needles, code/linked to ballots, would be gathered up, sent to a central location, tossed into a giant tumbler and mixed. Then, after a proper drum roll, Gov. Jay Inslee would reach in and pull out the winning needle.

After the drawing, the goals of eradicating COVID and assuring inclusive, fraud free elections will have been achieved.
