As a lifelong citizen non voter I’m logically equivalent to a non citizen voter, via the multiplicative associative property.

I can’t argue with math.

What about people to flock to a state other than the one they actually reside in, to cast votes? Are you in favor of that?

Let's say 10,000 Alabamans know their state is going to vote for the republican presidential candidate even without them. So they cross the state line and vote for the same guy in Georgia. Thus flipping the outcome. As a Democrat, that scares me.

One thing that I wish I had in last election.

When you vote, you get a confirmation number for your vote.

You can then input online and see your selections without any personally identifying information.

That at least helps you know your vote counted and wasn't flipped by the counting machine.

You could also be allowed to see all ballot's selections without the personal information.
