Universal suffrage?

No matter what you might have been hearing to the contrary, there is virtually no voter fraud in this country.

Every investigation, and there have been a few, has shown that the claims of people voting illegally are unfounded and are typically clerical errors on the part of the poll workers.

Yet in state after state legislators and executives are doing everything they can to not only make it harder to cast a vote but to prevent eligible voters from exercising their right to vote.

The movement to enact voter ID laws, purge voter rolls, close polling places, end early voting and prohibit individuals and groups from educating people or helping them to register is nothing more than a concerted effort to infringe the right of people to vote.  It is not a coincidence that the people promoting this are of one political party and those most affected by this are members of another political party.

This is an assault on voting rights that seeks to disenfranchise voters for political gain.

It’s disgusting.

What the hell is going on in this country?

For the record I oppose this no matter who is doing it.

You know what they could be doing as an alternative?  They could be educating people and actively verifying the eligibility of every resident of the state and creating a valid voter registration for every eligible voter.  That would ensure the accuracy of the voter lists and protect the rights of the people.
