There are large numbers in North Dakota facing a rule about a street address.

And I think 50,000 Georgians culled by Brian Kemp.

But I wonder how many thousands overall? Or millions?

I'll head off any yelps about fraud by pointing out, yet again, that voter fraud by Democrats is almost non-existent, but voter suppression by Republicans is rampant, although usually not as blatant as Kemp.

As long as they're keeping track on both sides, that's fine. By all means, keep track of it. But claiming that your right arm doesn't exist doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The Dems are in denial on voter fraud and actively trying to allow illegal immigrants and non-citizens to vote.

I'm sure Republicans overreact or use the issue to try to put their thumb on the scale for their side. Both parties are garbage. It's the kind of thing both of them do.

Good question. I'd love to see a consolidated listing of all the actions taken to supress voting

Historically, it's a common practice by both parties. I have little interest in a study, list or whatever only blathering on about the since of one party and acting like the other never did nuthin. I would love to see a compiled recent history of bad behavior by both sides on the matter.

Both parties have engaged in gerrymandering, but let's call a spade a spade. It's mostly Republicans engaging in these shady practices to discourage voting. Trump supporters will come at me, but it's the truth.

We definitely need more voting. Remember that one time (fondly smiling with a giggle) a group of folks voted and 60 million people got killed as a result? Good times.

I think it's simpler than that. If you're a Democrat, then it's mostly Republicans trying to win by shady legally questionable means. If you're a Republican, then it's the Democrats.

As a person who hates both parties, I'm afforded a level of clarity. I honestly don't know who is doing it more. I think it would make a very interesting research project. The only problem I could see is that whoever does the research will most likely be biased and that bias will screw up the study. Best solution: Get one Democrat researcher and one Republican.

In North Dakota democrats are trying to intimidate gun owners into not voting.

Feel free to cite any instances of massive vote suppression by Democrats.

I mean ~ it is Republicans trying to suppress the vote. I've yet to see anyone point out a race in which Democrats are actively trying to prevent people from voting.
