It's long overdue, there's no reason that voting should be on a workday and difficult, and Democrats should propose voter ID laws that make it easier for people to show up at the polls. They don't seem to, though, or even to argue for the concept.

They seem to spend most of their time trying to stop people from voting, trying to stop people from running, trying to keep people off the ballot, trying to keep people from talking about their candidates, and harassing minority groups that threaten the firmness of their key constituencies. A lot like Labour in the UK.

They spend far more time trying to weaken everyone's right to vote for the candidate of their choice than on anything resembling the opposite, notwithstanding them mentioning John Lewis every five minutes, and erecting statues to him.



What are you talking about? Efforts to make it more difficult to vote are almost exclusively right wing. Just look at the list of cases tracked by Democracy Docket: https://www.democracydocket.com/cases/
