Making It Easy To Do the Right Thing

IT WOULD BE GOOD IF more poor people, young people, blacks and Hispanics in America registered to vote, and voted, wouldn't it? Seems like a good idea, harmless enough to express it. Long live democracy, power to the people, and all that. Hillary Clinton accused the republicans of actively trying to prevent those groups from voting, which is going a step further. Looks like Hillary is really gonna come after those onery repubs; be warned. What republicans are really trying to do, at least, what they say they are really trying to do is to eliminate election corruption and fraud by requiring more proof of identity, such as photo ID, when registering and voting. For various reasons, the poor, the young, and minorities are less likely to be able to comply with these new requirements. Poor people, young people, and minorities have a greater tendency to vote for democrats and liberals, when they bother to vote, than do, say, wealthy white males and their lovely spouses and families. Maybe Hillary should keep it positive, and work to actually register and get people out to vote, rather than accuse conservative republicans of nefarious misdeeds of which the lambs could scarcely be capable, so morally upright are they. It would probably be better to have a few people voting twice than to have too few people voting at all. Power to the people, remember? In the United States, we have too few people voting, so we need to try to make it as easy as possible for people to vote - early voting, online voting, and so forth. WE Americans prefer exerting as little effort as possible when fulfilling our civic and patriotic obligations.
