I only recently became aware of a recurring atrocity committed in Mexico that makes my blood burn. There's an absurd policy that seriously impacts every Mexican citizen, whether they own a firearm or not. I'm sorry, but I have to speak out against this outrageous assault on the rights of those hapless victims. Gee, you'd think they suspect a correlation between crime and elections.
Proponents are eager to point to recent elections in Mexico as their basis in fact.
Now, I could care less what asinine procedures are instituted in other countries. My fear is that some crusading political aspirant in the United States is going to see some merit in the concept of pausing for a few days of voteless, anticlimactic dawdling, and try to get it put in place here . You know it's going to happen. Some liberal do-gooder is going to take out television ads warning about the dangers of concealed votes, disposable votes and juvenile voting. Then politicians will take up the cause, debating the merits of punch-card locks and voter competency tests.
