Every voter knows WTF they are doing.....that is the way our founders intended itHow Republicans block people from voting
1. Voter ID laws
2. Limit the number of polling places and voting machines
3. Cut back on days you can vote
4. Make the ballot more confusing
Right, because this doesn't apply to everybody--just Democrat voters.
Did it ever strike you that it's the local governments that decide on how many voting machines are in place at the polls and how many locations they have? Why are Democrats doing these things to their own voters?
Republicans don't need everyone, only a couple of a percent can swing and election.
Make it harder for voters in urban areas. Fewer polling areas, longer lines, question their documentation....frustrate them so they walk away
Why would Republicans consistently object to initiatives that make it easier to vote?
Because making it easier to vote brings in voters that don't know WTF they are even voting on.
If I had my way, you would have to take a test before being allowed to vote. Nothing too hard, but things any voter should know, such as who is the VP and what party do they represent? Which party is in leadership of Congress? In Senate? Who is the Speaker of the House and things like that.
Republicans would welcome such a test but Democrats would have a fit because a large base of theirs don't know anything about policies or issues. Putting an effort into voting only draws people who really know and really care about what they are voting on.
If we could do that, we would have a much better government.
Why should a voter need to know who the VP is or anything about parties? A voter needs to know who best represents his values and it is up to the candidate to convince him
If a voter doesn't even know what party the VP is from, then they certainly don't know who best represents them. They certainly don't understand tax issues yet alone the tragedy that's taking place with our national debt.
But like I said, Democrats rely on those people. FREE COLLEGE!! That's all they have to hear. Vote for the guy that will give me or my kids free college. Don't know anything about what it would cost, don't know anything about who will pay for it, don't know anything about the economic ramifications of taxing those who will pay for it, just free college.
The more "Obama Money" people we can purge from our voting rolls, the better for the country.
Only political geeks like us need to know things like who the VP and Speaker of the House is. To most Americans, it has little bearing on their day to day lives
Even a man who lives under a bridge only needs to know which candidate will do the best job of getting him out from that bridge.
