Voter Suppression is an Affront to Democracy

Isn't it interesting when you can't modify your platform to appeal to the changing demographics of the voters of this country, take action to ensure the voters won't be able to vote for the opposition. The Republican controlled legislatures in this country are doing their best to suppress voters with a variety of tactics like gerrymandering, unnecessary ID requirements, administrative rejection of registrations, blocking students from registering, disallowing P.O. boxes as valid addresses, closing voting locations in minority precincts, etc. I guess I naively thoughts the objective in an open democracy was to encourage as many voters as possible to register and vote. It turns my stomach to see the underhanded tactics being employed to stack the deck in favor of the party in power. I am reminded of Napoleon's quote (possibly erroneously attributed), ‘I care not who casts the votes of a nation, provided I can count them." Shed another tear for the future of this country and then get up and fight and VOTE for what's right!
