Letter to the editor: Stakes are high in this election

The consequences of the upcoming election may be more far-reaching than anyone could imagine. If the Democratic Party wins, the rules for future elections could be changed dramatically.

Some Democrats have been pushing for voting rights to be extended to convicted felons and illegal immigrants and lowering the voting age to 16. In my opinion, they think those voting blocs would be a large boost for Democrats, and they are probably right.

Some Democrats have condemned the Electoral College, and Democrats may very well try to eliminate it. That would mean that the most populous states essentially would write the rules for all of us. With that kind of power, they could eliminate any opposition and run the country as a dictatorship.

Don’t be fooled by promises of freebies. Everything has a price. What it could cost us is our freedom.
