There are millions of eligible voters in the US for whom a $40 fee would be impossible to overcome. You don't understand how deep and how widespread poverty is in the US. If you think the Republicans are pushing for a national ID and t

in fact the best thing to do to fight the Great Firewall of China is to make it easier for the Chinese people to access the internet-at-large including sites hosted in the US. This program will do the opposite.

With shutdowns, masks, and closed schools, COVID has killed in six months about a quarter of the people who die from the flu in a decade How is that an argument for less-drastic measures?

That’s derisively known as ballot harvesting and the legality varies. Republicans generally say it’s cheating and try to pass laws to ban it, except when they do it themselves. https://twitter.com/libsinamerica/status&#

Then why are republicans fighting so hard to keep people who should legally be allowed to vote from voting? They can’t be doing it because they think it will hurt their chances.

It doesn’t really seem enforceable though since there is an explicit cutout in that for “urgent” letters. Every letter I send is urgent!

Republican leaders sometimes bristle and say "well I wish we could deal with the real issues instead of tweets" and say how "disappointed" they are, and then they just do whatever Trump wants to do.
