The U.S. Congress is considering actions against the public to prevent long lines at airports and the voting process. This comes as the Congress fails to fund the Department of Homeland Security and its Transportation Security Administration (TSA). This has led to long lines for air travelers and the essential right to vote in our democratic electoral processes. The SAVE America Act, which aims to guarantee the midterms for Republicans, would significantly increase voting by mail, leading to longer lines at polling places. Lonnie Groot, a Florida attorney, argues that elections should not be targeted as ways to torture the public for political gain.
