[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I’m a moderate democrat, actually like a few republicans like Hogan.

When people have to wait 8-10 hours in line to vote its suppression. When someone has to choose between losing a days pay and coming up short for groceries or voting it’s suppression. When the 90 year grandmother gets told she’s no longer recorded to vote and to drive 10 miles away to a different location, even though she’s been going to that location for a decade and this is only happening in minority neighborhoods , it’s suppression. When a state official throws out all the votes from areas that vote against their party it’s suppression.

Voting should be easy. Elected officials should be focusing on how to get more people to vote.

If everyone votes, there would be less division and ironically more support for state functions over federal. Minimum wage is a good example. If everyone had equal, unfettered and easy access to vote and then did so there would be no need for a federal minimum wage. If everyone in Alabama and Mississippi voted then if they decided that 60% of the working population should make $6 rather than $15 then fine. [/quote]

Op here - thanks for your answer.  I agree no one should have to wait even an hour to vote.  Is that a pervasive problem or just in a few random places became or snafus?

As to the other points, most everyone can request mail-in ballots, can’t they?[/quote]
You didn’t notice the GOP’s constant attacks on mail-in ballots? Trump tried to have all of them thrown out. I’m starting to doubt that you’re posting in good faith.[/quote]
I’m pretty sure she isn’t.
