Byron York writes for the Washington Examiner and his latest deals with a Fox News poll which found large number of both Republicans and Democrats say "election integrity" is an important issue. It was almost the only issue of equal importance to both parties.
York concludes that means both parties will emphasize it and this will be "an election about elections." I think he misreads the data.
I believe "election integrity" means different things to Democrats and Republicans. To the GOP it means clean voter rolls, checking IDs, perhaps even paper ballots, and observers from both major parties present at vote counting places.
To Democrats, "election integrity" means not requiring IDs as this discriminates against POCs and illegal immigrants, it means leaving the current civil servant/Democrat vote count apparatus in place and operative, and not being too rigid about cleaning up voter rolls.
In truth, the parties are as far apart on "election integrity" as on other issues, except that somehow both use the same label for their view of the subject and on which set of rights they are intent on preserving.
