It makes my job easier. I can get my job done in a few hours with a framework rather than toil away for a much longer amount of time writing efficient and fast code. I feel like it's the early 2000s again. Instead of only having to k

Lax voter ID laws and making it really easy to steal votes through the mail is a good start. I find it odd that seemingly intelligent people ignore these glaring security holes to further their own political agenda.
