Is it? The Voting Rights Act is being gutted as we speak. https://www.aclu.org/feature/voting-rights-2016-whats-stake https://www.aclu.org/feature/voting-rights-2016-whats-stake
- matwood 10y agoOnce again, the hyperbole does nothing but make people think you are making things up. No one is taking away a womans right to vote. Period. Whether you or I agree with the issues listed there, some do have a valid other side. On its face, nothing is wrong with wanting to make sure a voter is who they say they are. Requiring an ID could also be too much of a hurdle though. There are reasonable and valid to sides of that argument. Early voting is sort of a hit and miss. People voting too early may mean they miss important facts leading up to the election. But then, it can be hard to vote on the day of. The problem is that even getting to vote has become too political because in general higher turnout is good for the Democrats and lower turnout good for the GOP. I wonder if some stat came out saying people who early voted for Trump really wanted to change after they learned more but could not, would the ACLU change their tune on early voting?
