Re: These Voters support the Democratic Party

Thanks for at least admitting it - you don't want the poors to vote. The rhetoric that ineligible voters are rampant has been going on for years, but isn't supported by data. In fact, there have been fraudulent attempts to portray eligible voters as ineligible, and THAT is supported by data: ​ "In 2016 and 2017, the organization published the information of eligible voters online, including Social Security numbers, falsely accusing them of being fraudulent voters. One such voter was a U.S. missionary in Guatemala who, based on PILF's report, was inaccurately highlighted as a fraudulent voter in a Washington Times article." Changes in voting laws are designed to tilt the tiny margins to one side or another. "Voter fraud" "Stolen Election" "Election integrity", etc... these are just sound bites to rile people up. Even "voter suppression" is to an extent, though I do think the voter suppression concerns hold more water; some of the new laws from Georgia and Texas for instance are properly f'd up. Closing polling locations to make it hard on those who rely on public transport, limiting early voting (particularly Sundays which are popular among black churchgoers), making it a crime to give water to voters waiting in line? How on earth do you justify that? Oh right - you don't want poor, urbanites, or black people to vote. At least I respect you a tiny bit more for saying that then I would the usual run-around with voter fraud BS.
