So to fix voter fraud you go after those that vote on sundays? Aren't sundays like umm a church day? Isn't that the day many churches get together as a community to visit the polls? Not only that but isn't that like one of the most off-of-work days there is? With the way the economy has been, how minimum wages have been, how there have been people trying to cut back government assistance, how people have been trying to relabel what full time work hours are and a whole host of other things wouldn't it be a bad idea to cut voting on that one day.
Just speaking on sundays. Aren't sundays the universally known "get other shit done" day. Unless jobs have started allowing people to take a day off to vote. Which might be nice now that i think about it.
As far as
absentee ballots are concerned it goes that:
"An absentee ballot is a vote cast by someone who is unable or unwilling to attend the official polling station. Numerous methods have been devised to facilitate this. Increasing the ease of access to absentee ballots is seen by many as one way to improve voter turnout, though some countries require that a valid reason, such as infirmity or travel, be given before a voter can participate in an absentee ballot."
So wouldn't that basically mean the elderly, those with health issues and generally those that for whatever reason cannot or do not want to leave their residence?
So wouldn't all of this mean that republicans don't want people that cannot or will not leave their homes to vote? That republicans don't want people that vote on sundays to vote? And wouldn't that generally equate to people that work multiple jobs and don't have the time to go to the polls as well as people with health issues? I don't know correct me if i'm wrong.
But doesn't that mean anyone in serious need of healthcare? Doesn't that mean anyone busting their ass to take care of their families, that are attempting to do so without government assistance?
And yes i know. "Spin this, spin that!" But really, who are these laws going to hurt? How will these laws hurt them? What are the future implications of these laws? How does this make the GOP look? Is the liberal media making the GOP go after these voters? If the liberal media is forcing the GOP's hand on going after these sorts of voters then why doesn't the GOP just stop going after these voters?
I don't know, maybe i worded it wrong. Maybe i should say that the GOP is attempting to fix it so people can't vote on sundays. That the GOP is fixing it so that people with health conditions can't vote or have to find money from somewhere to give to someone else to help them vote. But wait. Saying it like that would come off sounding like i'm putting some sort of spin to it.
Hmm how could i express that then? How could i say that those with serious medical conditions would no longer have the right to vote? How could i say that blue collar workers would have a harder time voting? How could i say that the GOP is targeting american citizens that would like the chance to exercise their right to vote?
And yeah. I still left a lot of stuff out in this post. Cause it does also say travel and there are a bunch of other people trying to force people to jump throw a whole lot of other hoops for their right to vote but i find it better to ask the question...why now? Why are people so hell bent on "fixing" voting now rather then well...
