So Much For Voter Suppression

We have been watching Republican state legislatures make great strides to suppress voting, in the name of fraud prevention, over the last two years. In the end, the courts told many of them they were wrong and directed them to correct it. I found it interesting how the states moved at the speed of a three-toed sloth to correct their suppression efforts, in the hopes of deceiving the electorate.  

Voter suppression has long been a tool of those understanding they do not have that snow ball's chance to impose their beliefs, non violently, on the majority that doesn't understand that which is really good for them. With that I mind, I give you Paul Weyrich

Paul Weyrich was a well known conservative in search of a smaller voter turnout, he felt the fewer voters the better his ideas had an opportunity to be part of the government he wanted.  Weyrich was co-founder of the Heritage Foundation, founded the Moral Majority with Jerry Falwell and the now well known, American Legislative Exchange Council or ALEC and several other conservative think tanks. Paul was a busy person for his causes.

THE LONG VOTER LINES...

Well, the electorate responded and proved to the Tea Party, they were not the only folks concerned about having freedoms diminished or taken away by a group with a selfish ideology.

Now that the folks that thought it would work for their side have learned it will not, perhaps they will invest some time to make voting more efficient, eh?
