The problem is that all the additional requirements _always_ result in targeting Democratic voters. Always. For example, voting by mail is bad. Unless you are a senior (and thus more likely to vote Republican). And it doesn't take much to change the outcome of many elections. Just a 0.1% shift is often enough to flip the result. | ||||||||

So the fight needs to be to make things universal and fair, not to do away with everything. I agree there are many attempts to throw elections in the US, but I also think unreasonable resistance to measures that make a lot of sense on many levels would have far better results if it was spent making sure things were implemented correctly. I think a lot of people see all-out resistance as extremist and somewhat irrational, and so you are losing people's good will. I do see it that way, I am sympathetic as to what leads to it and don't let it count against those pushing for 'no new rules' even if I find it immature / poorly thought out - but at the same time I don't think most people think it through and are as understanding as I try to be. | ||||||||
