I don't think that's the primary point here, however.

The point is that it's becoming more and more difficult to exercise the right to vote. Which too many people blow off as it is. Combine apathy with barriers, and more and more citizens are bound to lose interest.

It should be getting easier, not harder, to vote.

But Republicans are control freaks who have to manipulate everything to get their own way.

They act like a bunch of spoiled brats. Only with power and money and a complete lack of morality.
