Got it.  :thumbsup:

Pretty much works that way for both parties.

So the answer may very well be reforming the election process to include more security measures like voter ID, right?

Oh but wait...
One party is 100% in favor of that, while the other calls it racist.  :headscratch:

How about we do voter ID (I'm asked to show my ID here in MI) and we allow in person voting over several days, including at least one weekend. While we're at it, make polling places (and places where one can get an ID) plentiful and easily accessible by all.

There are many problems with our voting process, but the bottom line is that one party wants to restrict voting, and one party wants to make it more accessible.

Or, we could just go back to the days when only land owning males could vote.

We WANT voter ID here in Pennsylvania, but our previous Democrat Governor vetoed it.

So don't say the Dems want it more accessible because that simply isn't true.
His action proves that point.

EVERYONE gets an ID when they want state or federal benefits, so the idea that they are hard to obtain is nonsense.

is that true? which party tried to force the leading candidate off of the ballot in several states to make him ineligible? Which party sued to force the no-labels party off the ballot so that no one could vote for that candidate? Which party tried to force RFK Jr off the ballot so that no one could vote for him? Lastly, which party defied their own voters by forcing the sitting president to refrain from running and put up a candidate for president without a single voter being allowed to cast a ballot for her?

I believe he means making voting itself more accessible, not who you get to vote for. :D

I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

It was sarcasm. Well, half of it was.

I do have one question on a more serious note.

Do Republicans really care about this? You would think that if a Dem voter felt disenfranchised you'd be hearing a huge uproar coming from the left. The only complaints I've heard have come from the right. I thought I heard rumors of threats of lawsuits being filed?  Ironically, also coming from the right.

Ahhhh the soft bigotry of low expecations finally rears it's leftist head. I was wondering when that would creep in. :rofl:

Honestly, I had smitforbrains pegged for it.

If there is uproar where would you hear about that uproar at?

Now you're talkin. :thumbsup:

I had a commie HS history teacher who ranted endlessly about the evils of 'rich, white male landowners'.

One day he asked what I wanted to be when I grew up? Without missing a beat I said, a rich, white male land owner.

I thought he gonna stroke out. :rofl:

The same places I hear the backlash coming from the right.  Social media.  :lol:

I also know quite a few Dem voters. They seem fine with it.

I haven't spent a lot of time on this. I'm just curious why Republicans care so much about who the Dem delegates choose to run. The *only* complaints I've heard are coming from people who I would think would be happy that Kamala, who isn't (or wasn't) a popular pick, was the choice.

And to put it differently, I don't think Republican really care.

I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.

What I think Republicans really care about is precedent. That sets an even worse precedent than killing off the Bernie Sanders nomination.
