This bill is so dumb, why would anyone want to vote by proxy? It's lazy and irresponsible. Did you know that this bill also allows for remote voting for school board elections?

This bill is a disaster! It's gonna let parents vote for their kids by proxy? That's just asking for trouble. We need to protect the integrity of our elections, not make it easier for fraud to happen. And what about my rights as a parent? I want to be the one to vote, not some random person my kid picks. This is just wrong. Did you know that this bill also allows for remote voting by proxy for school board elections? #NotMyVote
