Just ask the House Speaker of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. Sometimes the best of plans backfire on themselves..
. They did not count on the fact pissing off people increased their resolve to vote creating the long lines we witnessed.. And increasing minority turn out.
Those who endured lines of five or six hours are our real civil rights workers.. Not letting these bullies trample our democracy . Would you stand in line 5 hours just to vote.
