Reply #3: If I may, the problem is...

[yowzayowzayowza]

too many public servants on both sides of the aisle from local election administrators to SoSs to the state & federal courts, legislatures and executives who deem their righteous avarice superior to the most basic elements of our democracy. These voting issues are yet another symptom of the dissolution of our commons which defies not only statistics, but even the most blatantly obvious evidence. With all due respect, the "greatest generation" has left us a task more daunting than defeating global fascism on the battlefield; conquering the "avarice state" within ourselves.

If this doesn't seem too far afield, perhaps I can make a meme suggestion:

Why can't we have free and fair elections? The avarice state.
Why must Grandpa shepherd Walmart shopping carts for want of a fistful of pills? The avarice state.
Why did we have a Constitutional crisis over an immaterial fellatio fib? The avarice state.
How did we start a war over a pack of lies? The avarice state.
Why have we created an ecologically unsustainable society? The avarice state.

As a google of the term "avarice state" returns zero hits, perhaps it could be a retort to the reich wing "welfare state" meme?
