If “Elections Have Consequences XXI” really is installment #21 in this series, I’m impressed by the persistence — but at some point it starts to feel like we’re just re-printing the same national rant on a weekly schedule rather than contributing anything new or local. For anyone wondering “how much paper” this series has taken up, at 21 installments, that is on the order of 23,500 printed newspaper pages devoted to the series — roughly an acre of paper surface once you multiply it out. I support freedom of speech, but considering this diatribe likely costs our local bee $200 - $300 to print at the very least lets hope Kathy is a subscriber. If we’re going to spend that much ink, I’d love to see more local facts, specifics, and actionable points — not just another round of national venting.

You keep ignoring the point I am trying to make and that is the fact that the state is being sued for not turning over our voter data base - this has nothing to do with voter ID. Why does the Trump administration think they have a right to this information which includes SSNs and driver license information. States run their own elections and count their own votes. Some republican controlled states have already turned over their data and others plan to.

Randi was my first crush. She was the first girl to kiss me. We lived in Ashbourne Hills in Claymont and Randi's home was about a block from me. We walked to Darley Road Elementary many days, and spent time after school together (I had 3 younger brothers but me being, I guess, 8-9, they weren't much fun). I don't remember getting a chance to say good-bye to her the summer she moved away. But not a week has gone by in the last 65 years that I don't think of her. I send my deepest respects to her family. Know that Randi will be a part of my heart as long as I breathe.

A birth certificate is a permanent document that doesn't change...your marriage license/certificate is proof of a name change and used to confirm changing your driver's license, SS card, Passport, etc.

The “Newtown has no town green/town common” line is doing a lot of work. We literally have Ram Pasture — a huge public green space — right at Main Street and 302. And it’s not like it’s never been used for exactly this kind of thing. Ram Pasture was used for a candlelight vigil, and it was also used during the warehouse protest. So yes — there is a highly visible public space for gatherings that doesn’t require turning the busiest intersection in town into a choke point. If the goal is truly to be heard without disrupting day-to-day life, then use Ram Pasture, keep sidewalks passable, and don’t “accidentally” crowd the roads in front of Town Hall because it’s the most effective way to force attention. Free speech is a right — manufactured gridlock doesn’t have to be part of it. I have yet to hear a convincing argument as to why it needs to be on and IN the busiest road in town. The Bee's own photos show people standing in the road. Of course, local PD doesn't want to get involved because we all remember what the mob did when they suggested some common-sense suggestions to protect the crowds...
