When laws change the numbers might change, but the on ground reality still says high crime to people who know what crime is.
The only reality that's been posted so far has been hard data showing crime numbers dropping.

Empty assertion is empty.Only a liberal would believe that making sure voting is secure would believe doing so would disincentivised people to vote.
From the link:More Americans See U.S. Crime Problem as Serious
A new high of 63% of U.S. adults say the crime problem in the U.S. is extremely or very serious.news.gallup.com
The survey still confirms that a majority of Americans believe rising crime is a real problem.From the link:
'Still, crime does not appear to be a top-of-mind concern for Americans, as just 3% name it as the most important problem facing the country, far behind other issues, including the government (19%), the economy (14%), inflation (14%) and immigration (13%). In 1994, an average of 42% of Americans across four separate surveys named crime as the most important problem facing the U.S.
Looks like y'all becoming less worried about it. Not more. Thanks for the confirmation.

“Rising crime” is a problem no matter when it occurs.The survey still confirms that a majority of Americans believe rising crime is a real problem.
Data from the link....“Rising crime” is a problem no matter when it occurs.
But overall, it’s been lowering save for a very decent uptick.
It’s a “real problem” only if one disregards the forest when viewing the trees.
That's nice. Does anyone actually believe that, though, or is it just made up to avoid talking about how GOP legislators are actively working to make it harder for minorities to vote?It is racist, in my opinion, to believe that, blacks and other minorities, cannot have ID'S in order to vote.
Apparently, only liberals believe it is difficult to have a state issued ID.That's nice. Does anyone actually believe that, though, or is it just made up to avoid talking about how GOP legislators are actively working to make it harder for minorities to vote?
No, Republicans believe that, too. That's why, in North Carolina, they sought out demographic data on who had what forms of ID, before taking steps to disenfranchise those groups that tended to vote Democrat:Apparently, only liberals believe it is difficult to have a state issued ID.
a lot of politicians spend their time in Congress working on re-election and certainly not on issues the People care about.
Ron DeSantis mentions this in his book, but I've known about it for many years.
There should be term limits. then the person knows he or she only has X number of years to get anything done, no re-election to think about.
And incumbents always have the advantage. .. free stampage, paid staff, etc
GOP legislators looked specifically at which forms of ID were least likely to be owned by minority groups. So they didn't need belief, they used data to figure out how to disenfranchise voters.Apparently, only liberals believe it is difficult to have a state issued ID.
It's not a narrative, it's the findings of fact of a legal case.No GOP leader is attempting to disenfranchised voters. I refuse to accept that narrative.
So elected officials would serve a three year term and then the office goes vacant for a year?Better than term limits, I say we end running for office if you hold office. Meaning if Biden wanted to run again in 2024, he would have had to resign by January 1, 2024. DeSantis would have had to step down as Governor of Florida by the same date.
If you are in office, you work for us, not trying to get another job. You can serve as often as you like, but you need to be out of office if you want to run for office.

(How is this “better”?)
