TRUTH BE TOLD, and even in the age of disinformation it occasionally is, all these assaults on easy access voting, what is being termed "voter suppression" being legislated by the grand old Republican party in a temper tantrum of a response to Trump's famous defeat, needn't prevent anyone, minorities or otherwise, from voting. Like blind squirrels finding acorns, right wing repubs, once in a blue moon, get something right, and this they have right; everyone can still vote. its gonna be a bit more troublesome to do so, what with mail in voting and drive through voting being curtailed by a vicious vindictive pack of curs. Merely have your I.D. in order, show up when they let you show up, stand there for hours in the heat without food or drink, because, heaven forbid, accepting food or drink from a compassionate passerby might be corruption in disguise which might just steal another election from Donald Trump. It would be nice it it were easy for all eligible voters to vote, like, say, from home, on the phone, online, through teh snail mail, you name it, let's vote it. contrary to what one typical Republican reprobate claims, voting should indeed be easy, because eligible voters should not have to break down barrier after barrier to prove their worth - they've already proven it. but, we're just not there yet. So, kudos to Texas state legislative Democrats for caring enough to once again run like hell from Republican perfidy, in pure desperation, for caring enough to charter a private jet and fly to Washington D.C., to try to get the national Congress to do something about the G.O.P. tantrum. The republican voter suppression is a situation in which, as they say, the bark is bigger than the bit. Just get out, vote, grin, a beat it. The corruption is embodied in two ways: the motive, and the intent. the motive is Trump's loss in the election, and his ridiculous lie that the election was stolen, a ridiculous lie echoed by seventy five million of his supporters, making them traitors to the democratic process which underpins American freedom. No evidence of crime, no crime, no election fraud ever found. If Trump had won, in real time, there would now be no voter suppression effort, an effort intended to keep those lazy Democrat minorities, the folks without I.D's, means, or automobiles, away from the polling place. the intent, in short, is to reduce voter turnout, turnout like those mobs of African-american who flocked to the polls in Detroit, Milwaukee, Philly, and Atlanta, and won the election for Biden. Make 'em drive. If there really were any sign, any sign at all, of voter fraud, anywhere in these great united states, if the problem really existed, and if by chance the Republicans were trying to correct a rel problem rather than insidiously fix voting rules to assist in their own election success, the effort would indeed be noble. as it is, its criminal, pathetically, transparently so.
