the moment somebody steps in to restore democracy in wisconsin (and/or in michigan, north carolina, florida etc), we're gonna see a lasting five-to-ten-point shift to the left in their official results
obviously i'm not holding my breath waiting for that to happen, but y'know
Restoring democracy doesn't mean restoring what you believe, these are red states because of how their people voted. Under your belief should Estonia or Ukraine restore democracy as the Estonian and Ukrainian SSRs
preventing hundreds of thousands of people from voting is generally considered undemocratic, little-known fact
How are people prevented from voting? By requiring an ID?
I understand the "poll tax" aspect of voter ID laws, but there are solutions in order to ensure folks have "Real ID" for voting. I understand the bias indicated in blocking convicted felons from voting and the racially biased motives behind this, and I support the idea of restoring voting rights to those who have completed their sentences and are (presumably) now taxpayers.
But I have come around to viewing the idea of requiring an ID to vote as reasonable. Is it "democracy" if folks who are not citizens vote, and affect vote totals? Or folks who don't live within a state or district? Or folks who vote in 2-3 different states? I recognize these issues are often overstated, but a ballot box stuffed by ballots from persons who are not eligible voters isn't exactly democratic either.
