I Dare You To EXPAND Voting Access -- Uniformly, Of course

Voter Suppression Song:  New Lyrics, Same Shitty Tune

Around the country, wherever they can, R's are pushing new laws that make registering to vote and exercising the right to vote more difficult -- from ID requirements to restrictions on voting days, hours and locations to reducing absentee ballot availability.

Anyone with half a brain understands this is de facto voter suppression, modern-day Jim Crow without the poll tax and the literacy test.  Having read the demographic tea leaves, the R's have been hot to trot for this sort of stuff for the past few years.  At first, they floated the trial ballonn of "voter fraud".  But voter fraud is virtually non-existent, as has been shown repeatedly, even by Republicans.

So now the new spin is "uniformity and fairness".   Ah yes!  What could be wrong with those things?  Nothing, really, except the R's version of these concepts uniformly restricts voting access and makes it harder to comply for some seniors, young people, working poor and minorities, which is patently unfair (and precisely the intention).

Hey GOP!  If you're really so committed to uniformity, if that's what 's fair, if that's what you really want so much, then I challenge you fucks to EXPAND voting access -- uniformly, of course.

What?  No can do?  Why not?  Oh, I see.  Sure.

Another day, another dollop of sugar-coated crap for the low-info masses.

Conservative cheats and liars are working the states-rights angle like crazy to carve this rip-off into legislative stone, while they give us the finger and dare us stop them.

To do the right thing, we're going to need a new, modern-day federal Voting Rights Act to counteract these forces of regression.
