Republican Logic In pursuit of ensuring that
Post# of 123711
In pursuit of ensuring that future elections are free and fair, it is necessary to make it a criminal offence to give food or water to voters standing on line – because people who vote ‘illegally’ are notorious snackers who will stay home rather than risk their access to Pringles and Twinkies being cut off for hours at a time.
Limiting voting hours will lead to more secure elections – because people who cast ‘illegal’ ballots only show up when polls are open for longer hours.
Curtailing mail-in voting is a means of securing our elections – because too many ‘questionable people’ take advantage of this system, like our military based overseas, and former “pResident” Trump.
Any limitations on voters’ ability to cast their ballots in cities/counties that traditionally vote Democratic are purely coincidental – because all GOP efforts to limit voting rights are aimed at ensuring that white, gun-hugging, ‘good Christian’ Republicans have ample time to vote quickly and conveniently, as is their right.
Nuthin’ says “we have a platform that appeals to all Americans” like making sure ALL Americans don’t have an equal opportunity to vote. Nuthin’ says “our party has a lot to offer” like making sure that those who think what your party offers is bullshit have limited access to casting their ballots.
I’d be interested in hearing any Republican congress-critter’s explanation for how and why such voter suppression tactics aren’t aimed at specifically suppressing Democratic votes.
Actually, I’d be interested in hearing from any Republican who still has a spine – as I understand that species is now extinct.
