It's funny. what republicans did in NC is legal in CA. The dems used it to overturn 5 seats Republicans had won
CA doesn’t have the history of voting discrimination and that whole Jim Crow deal either.
...and yet, here the Dems are, supporting the new VRA that they'd be legally bound to as well.
Odd.
The entire conservative theology is from bumper stickers.
No you wouldn’t. You were given an entire court case filled with data and still you persist in your larping.
That’s because the GOP is constantly projecting and confessing. If you want to know what crimes a conservative is committing, just listen to what they complain about.
Goldy seems proud to be getting her political information from stickers.
You're not really good at this whole "evidence based reasoning", are you.
They know they can't win a fair election, so they need to suppress voting. As David Frum puts it:
“Maybe you do not care much about the future of the Republican Party. You should. Conservatives will always be with us. If conservatives become convinced that they can not win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. The will reject democracy.”

You are partly right. Each vote counts the same. But each eligible voter does not have an equal chance of having his vote counted - thanks to restrictive laws and intimidating practices.
And, yes, if Dems do the same, they are evil, too.
At some level you can't blame people for playing by the rules that are in place. Gotta win to change them. But people should at least have the integrity to say those laws and practices are wrong, and to try to fix them when they get in office. Rs simply don't. They know they can't win without those laws and practices.
“The main benefit of controlling a modern bureaucratic state is not the power to persecute the innocent. It is the power to protect the guilty.”

With Trump and the current GOP, we have both. Kids in cages and kickbacks for the donors.
Just imagine what things would be like if (when) Trump and the GOP manage to replace our federal law enforcement professionals and judges with political operatives.
The GOP is racing to that finish line with judges approved by the right wing Federalist Society. Then what do we do? It's already getting hard to find judges willing to do what's right.
