    Deseret News (Moderate Right) • Factual Grade 78% • 3 min read

    The new legislation updates voter identification requirements, tightens vote by mail and ballot drop box rules and places new restrictions on food and water distribution by election workers. If passed, the law would only allow drop boxes to be open during business hours of early voting locations and require election official supervision of the drop boxes.
    ...
    “Only immediate family members, including grandchildren, would be allowed to return a voter’s ballot,” reported WFLA 8. “The measure was far different from some of the more severe measures proposed initially, including an outright ban on ballot drop boxes and a requirement to present identification when dropping off those ballots,” the AP reported.

Context: Idaho bans critical race theory from schools.

BEST COMMENTS

Yes - As taught, critical race theory seems to rewrite history and also seems to paint with a broad brush those who are not of color as inherently racist. I believe that such teaching does nothing for equality and is actually accomplishing the opposite of its intended goal. Lately, it has seemed like the loudest and most violent voices have intentionally forgotten Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Movement.
