Yeah, Fred. That's it.

No one ever says why Democrat voters are stymied by voting restrictions like taking dead people off the rolls. Shouldn't Republican voters be discouraged by the same restrictions? Especially when these policies are mainly being passed in Red States?

No one ever says what the harm would be in automatically registering citizens to vote.

As I've said before, the U.S. has an abysmal turnout. We should be making it easier to cast a ballot, not harder.

Justice Department suing Georgia over voting restrictions

The Justice Department is suing Georgia over new voting restrictions enacted as part of Republican efforts nationwide to limit voting access in the wake of President Donald Trump's election defeat.

The state law imposes new voter identification requirements for absentee ballots, empowers state officials to take over local elections boards, limits the use of ballot drop boxes and makes it a crime to approach voters in line to give them food and water.

Republicans had cast the measure as necessary to boost confidence in elections after the 2020 election and Trump's repeated and unsubstantiated claims of fraud, but Democrats in the state have called the new law voter suppression and likened it to Jim Crow-era voting laws.

The US had record voter turnout during a global pandemic. The Left likes to invent problems that just aren't there.

And Republicans are trying to make sure that that record turnout never happens again.

The U.S. has one of the lower voter participation rates of developed countries, Fred. That sounds like a problem to me.

Edit to add: Many of the votes cast were by mail or drop boxes. Perhaps that's why voter turnout during a pandemic was so high?

Why don't American voters participate? Many reasons, maybe they are happy with the status quote? They realize their single vote doesn't really matter. They don't like the candidates. It is too much of a hassle to vote? Which do you think is the biggest reason that voting participation rates hover around 60%? BTW, Colorado did get around 90% last year, probably because of the ease of mail-in ballots.

Personally, I think a big reason is that U.S. voters are burnt out after such a long campaign - longer than any other country in the world. That's because the U.S. doesn't limit by law how long the campaign period can run.

Remember Trump announcing he was running in the 2020 presidential election within days of become president the last time? He wasn't far off base, in that respect.
