[quote=Anonymous]I probably can’t convince you.  Everyone eligible to vote should have easy, safe, and free access to voting.  No one, and especially no group of people should have more difficulty voting for any reason than any other group.  If you haven’t noticed that this is not our situation now, then there’s probably nothing I can say that will sway you, OP.

Someone in a rural community, who lacks transportation, should still get to vote.  Someone elderly, should still get to vote. Black Americans and Native Americans who, historically, have had their voting rights actively and even violently interfered with, should still get to vote.  If you haven’t notice that deliberate efforts have been implemented to make it particularly difficult for some of us to vote, than that, imo, is willful ignorance.

So: if you believe that everyone should have access to voting, and that this access should be largely equal, then you’ll see that legislation and enforcement of legislation is necessary to support these basic rights.  If you don’t believe those two premises, then there’s probably little that I can say that will convince you. [/quote]
