NOBODY is denying YOUR right to vote and you know that full well. It is MINORITIES who mostly vote democrat who are targeted by zombie repubs. But you are not interested in ANY of their plights so just go back to your beer and pizza and adoring your 401K.

You still haven't answered kellyjay as to how certain people are suppressed.

You're living in the 1950's or something 🤷

It's funny, @Sonhouse,, I listen to you and the Dems and realize, there are no African American
spokespersons on these issues complaining about what these polices do to African Americans.
How about getting the NAACP's opinion here, for gawd's sake. All I see is white liberal democrats
complaining on the African American's behalf.

@Earl-of-Trumps
My family is very international, 2 adopted sons half black, half Puerto Rican, a daughter in law from Sweden, a son in law from Tamil Nadu, another daughter in law a Mayan indian, my wife is partial Potowatame indian, her first husband is full blood Hawaiian so we have 3 half Hawaain kids so I think I can speak for racial bias, we have had a lot of trouble with racism here, I am the only white boy in the family, Irish, but my kids have had a lot of trouble with racism, for instance, Jonathan, half Puerto Rican, when he was 12 we gave him a bicycle and on the way to school which is less than a half mile away, cops stop him, Where did you get that bike was the gist, made him sit on the curb for near an hour while he "checked' him out. Of course he found nothing and finally had to let him go. That is how we are treated here, nearly ALL of us. Even me, Irish ancestry, it turns out the town here is mostly Pennsylvania Dutch and because of some mining uprising in a town nearby, Jim Thorpe, the Irish and the Dutchies got into it and now over 100 years later they STILL hate Irish. Of course that is nothing compared to the bias my family has been subjected to for DECADES. I wish to HELL we can get out of here but that is not going to happen.

Enough evidence? Where is your evidence that you contend makes voting easier?

Maybe I should start a thread that is called (rightly, I might add):

A vote for Democrats is a vote for communism.
