Some of my best friends are Republicans; they mostly seem like nice people.

Why, then, are they trying to steal the election for Mitt Romney? I think everyone should have the choice to vote for him or for President Barack Obama.

In response to Pennsylvania Republican Party President Rob Gleason’s Aug. 22 letter (“Voter ID ‘hoops’ are helpful), voter ID fraud is a virtually nonexistent crime in Pennsylvania and around the country.

The law is an bold-faced attempt to throw up barriers to keep elderly Democrats and poor people from voting.

My wife worked the polls for years, and this was never a problem. Getting more people to vote is the problem. I think Republicans should bring back the poll tax and only allow property owners to vote if they’re serious about blocking Democratic voters.
