Republicans say they want free and fair elections.
That is a lie.
The Republican party and its politicians for years have been using the power of the state(s) to suppress votes they don't want counted.
And when the vote goes against them they try to overturn it, violently.
But why wait until that late in the process?
Why not stop the people from voting in the first place before they have a chance to cast their ballot?
And so they come up with laws to purge voters from the rolls without cause.
They create websites so strangers can challenge your right to vote directly, forcing you to have to prove you do have the right to vote.
This turns the law on its head because the state should have to prove you do not have the right to vote prior to removing you from the rolls.
Imagine strangers challenging your right to own a gun and then you can't until you prove otherwise.
Is the right to vote less important to these people? Apparently.
In Texas they tell voters they are on the suspended list, give them a provisional ballot (which is not counted unless you show up at the SOS office and prove you can vote, which almost no one ever does because they do not understand the process and aren't informed).
A Texas official bragged Texas would have gone for Biden if he did not purge 2 million voters off the voting rolls.
That's how serious this issue is.
And few are talking about it, and even fewer care.
Here are some links. Certainly not comprehensive.
