    Its election time and a lot of promises are being made about what they are going to do if elected. Putting party affiliation aside what are 3 areas of concern you want taken care of. Economy, heath care, gun control. women's rights, crime, mental health, voting, border security, education, ect..... Just name 3 and does not have to be in any order.

    Non sports related.
    The biggest issue is voting but more specifically that votes are counted and elections certified based upon who actually wins. The biggest danger I think we face as a democratic republic is that state legislatures and state officials could disqualify elections based on specious evidence and use that to decertify elections. For example Mark Finchem running for Sec. of State in AZ has said that he wouldn't have certifed Biden's win in AZ because he doesn't know anyone who voted for Biden.

    Related is rule of law. It ties to the issue above where legislature and officials decide that they can ignore investigations and court findings to decertify elections just because they "feel" like fraud occured. Also to things like that a former President should not be subject to laws such as keeping classified information.

    Infrastructure. Congress and the current administration is addressing this but given the aging state of US infrastructure, while the country continues to grows, climate changes and development happens we still need much much more infrastructure. Whether it's updating power grids, flood controls, we are struggling to keep up.

    1. I want a new Fairness doctrine in place, where if you call yourself news you have to tell the truth or be heavily fined, if you have something OPINION it should be labeled as such.

    2. I want social media companies to be held responsible for what is posted on their site. There needs to be moderation laws, and if something is fake news or propaganda it should be labeled as such, and I want people to have to use their real names - no hiding - think before you post.

    3. I want proper gun legislation, where a "Well Regulated Militia" is what guns are for, an assault weapon ban, and a license for every gun that is renewable every year, you have to pay taxes on your gun collection just like you do your car or house.

    4. Women to have same rights as men, their bodies, their choice.

    Elected officials won't solve any of these problems, so why is the election relevant?

    Pretty much this. Plus campaign finance reform, for starters.

    Ranked choice voting
    Open primaries
    Non-Partisan Redistricting Oversight

    You could be literally against every other issue I support and if you gave me those I'd vote for you over Jesus himself.

    • The end of voter suppression and hijinks like gerrymandering and a national federal holiday on November 8
    • Accountability (LAW and ORDER) for all elected officials
    • Federal legalization of mar1juana
    • Bonus: outlawing of for-profit prisons and illegal alien detention centers. Strict regulation of for-profit education.

    Foreign policy
    Economy
    Civil liberties

    Same as always. The first always drives the second and third, so that's the most important.

    1. Crush my enemies.

    2. See them driven before me.

    3. Hear the lamentations of their women.

    Any politician that can deliver all 3 has my vote.

    Is crime not an issue for anyone? Particularly violent crime

    Liberals say gun con control
    Conservatives say crime
