September 22, 2024Dear editor; Fake Electors are back in Key Swing States in 2024: Pennsylvania, 5; Michigan, 6; Nevada, 2; and New Mexico, 1. Electors in our antiquated Electoral College actually determine the presidential winner in our Federal elections. In 2020, legitimate electors represented the actual count in their state
September 18, 2024Dear editor; I agree with Chris Lauzen that name-calling is “Junior High School,” but Mr. Lauzen’s letter in The Voice makes it sound as if only the Democrats are doing it.
