The g.o.p. nation-wide voter suppression tells me that they know that the majority of Americans do not want
them in any "leadership positions." In order to "get elected" they must not allow the majority to vote.
R.W.'ers support this and will go out of their way/ be inconvenienced as long as their incompetent (usually ignorant)
"leaders" get into office.
Voting (if it really counts) should be made as easy as possible. In a Democracy (which we are not but supposedly strive to be)
the majority rules, with deference to the minority. IOW the majority should rule but ideally, consider the wishes of the minority instead of passing legislation to curb their rights.
Example: When R.W.ers are in power they often legislate morality. While their majority might agree with them and their version of morality, (they usually claim these are Christian values while actually they are far from it) morality cannot be legislated.

ROCK THE VOTE and make it as easy as possible.
IMO, voting should be mandatory even though there is so much disinformation out there. Average people are "catching on" and rejecting the elite point of view.
