Subject: Re: Shapiro's history being scrubbed
This one seems reasonably obvious to me.
By fighting an imaginary problem the GOP is able to make voting more difficult for already marginalized US citizens.
The GOP wins elections even though they continue to lose the popular vote. There is a wing of the Republican party that recognizes this problem, but they also seem to be a marginalized group:-)

There are serious problems with our "democracy".
