I have read the history. Please answer the question.

Not the rude PP! But seems to me the answer is pretty clear. Their policies benefit a very small group, they're deliberately and provocatively divisive (and just to head others off at the pass, yes, the GOP has been deliberately divisive and us-vs-them long before BLM came onto the scene), and they flat-out could not win by the numbers in most of the country were voting made actually readily accessible to everyone. The party and their platform simply do not have popular support...and they know it.

Nov 3 can't come soon enough. I cannot WAIT for Trump to get kicked to the curb. Cannot wait.

I live in a Dem county. The Dems are always out in full force on election day outside of the exclusion zone. It is the law. Either party can be outside of the exclusion zone.

We are not in China where free choice is suppressed and you are sent off to a labor camp.

Not yet. Check out some of Trump's potential SCOTUS nominees. If we're lucky, they'll let us choose the color for our "modesty garments."

I will be voting early and if a Trumphumper engages in prohibited activity directed toward me, I will call the police, defend myself, and, if necessary, use force to avail myself of my right to vote without fear.

Bring it on Trumphumpers.

Actually they didn’t.

Nope. They can't yell.

B. No person shall conduct himself in a noisy or riotous manner at or about the polls so as to disturb the election or insult or abuse an officer of election.

If they have to provide escorts for voters, then it's intimidation.

And it’s also different in the pandemic when voters need to line up outside.

It’s annoying, but the best plan here is probably to set up specific “free speech” zones that won’t interfere with the line.

What we really need is some Law and Order to take care of those people.

You all were serious about Law and Order, not just covering up for racism, right?

It’s not about the voters’ “feelings”, it’s about the illegal actions of the protestors.

The election officials certainly should have called the police. Perhaps they are ok with voter intimidation. Do we know who the officials were that day? Trump supporters?

You may want to learn more about our prison industrial complex. It's not that cut and dry.

The documentary "13th" is available on Netflix and gives a good overview.
