The GOP has run - & is still running - a very long expensive campaign to legislate, implement & enforce photo voter ID. The underlying logic has been the sanctity of the US voting place, & in search of a problem for the legislation to solve, the GOP has been searching for people guilty of voter fraud.

TMK, they found one woman in TX who has mistakenly voted for W. Bush, thinking that she could vote legally. There were a handful of others, mostly people who voted by absentee ballot, & thus it was extremely difficult to track them down & prosecute them. & all this cost the Federal & state governments how much money, time & effort? All of which could have been spent on pressing problems - there's no lack of those, instead of haring off after will-o'-the-wisps in the swamps & fairy rings in the woods.

Depends on where you are standing.

If it’s a choice between DACA kids who have no memory of living in another country on one hand and satisfying “citizens” who are apart of a KKK, alt-right or white ethnocentric fringe, i’ll chose going to bat for those kids every time.

Tide may be turning with gerrymandering.

Voter suppression seems to still be going strong, however.

In a heartbeat.

I'd chose the DACA kids over the KKK types any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

Who wouldn't, but I'm not seeing the KKK up in arms over this. Seems to me just regular Americans that feel strongly about their country and the people that are let into it.
