Dope: elections are the cornerstone of the “democracy”

If, in your mind, elections are the cornerstone to democracy, we should make every effort to make it easy for people to vote. Send out ID and registration trucks on regular schedules to marginalized neighborhoods. Make it free in some cases. Provide mail-in voting, and extra poll booths in marginalized areas. Make it so simple and easy to vote that no one should ever have a basis to complain.

Instead, where someone thought incorrectly that they could vote and got a provisional ballot, they are sentenced to jail to send the message that them thar darkies shouldn't vote. But Texas finally acquitted her 7 years later, because knowledge that you are illegally voting is required, not just negligence.
