- “We can only wonder if the intent is to reopen the door for voter fraud, potentially allowing fellow Democrat politicians like Hillary Clinton … to steal the election.”
That always seems to be what Republicans argue when people in general are against restricting voting rights and I don't get it. The last time I saw this come up it was about how the Democrats were against restricting voting rights for felons because they wanted to steal those votes. Like they'll argue endlessly for your right to free speech so you can talk shit about your government and your right to bear arms so you can "overthrow" your government yet when it comes to the thing that actually affects the government that's not an assumed right to everybody. That's just a Democrat ploy to get votes from people. I just don't get it.
Don't forget North Carolina as well! I have to toot my own horn just a little. In 2008, when I was in law school, I wrote a paper arguing that the Supreme Court was wrong when it upheld Indiana's photo ID law. The conservatives in my class (which was most everyone there) thought I was crazy for arguing that a law that disproportionately disenfranchised blacks and religious minorities despite no clear signs that it would address voter fraud might not be constitutionally okay.
