The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"But in reality, the GOP knows they are better off with less people voting. - Lapsody"

"Not true. - BHM

Actually it is very true. It is why Republicans are trying to enact strict voter laws despite the fact that vote fraud is almost non-existent and easily caught by current laws. Just because you want to ignore all of those facts doesn't make them disappear. It just makes you willfully ignorant.

"But what is true, everything the dems advocate for somehow moves in the direction of diminishing the ability to verify the eligibility of voters and/or making post election audits difficult or impossible."

Again. That simply isn't true. Democrats want to make it easier for people to legally vote. Maybe because they believe in democracy more than Republicans who cannot see to win the popular vote (unless it is right after 9/11). Let's take an example, expanding early voting. Early voting makes it easier for people to legally vote and does nothing to diminish the security of the vote or its auditability. Democrats want to expand early voting and Republicans are generally against it. Same with trying to assist people trying to get to voting places. Democrats like to be able to bus people to the voting centers and Republicans are against it. Yet bussing people in from churches or old folks homes does nothing to lessen the security of voting (every voting person still has to jump through the same hoops) or its auditability.

Republicans hate democracy.
