Talking Point: Voter Suppression is Unamerican.

Period.

Any political party that believes in Democracy should commit to coming as close as possible to the unattainable dream of 100% voter turnout.

Even if the straw-man myth of widespread voter fraud was true, the way to counter it is to increase legitimate turnout so much that the fraud becomes insignificant.

Taking the right to vote away from even one American citizen is a civil rights violation. Taking it away from thousands is a cowardly act of treason against the very principles that our founding fathers conceived, fought and died for.

I think republicans would like to restrict the vote to white male landowners over 40. Is that a problem for you? They are the ones who know what is best for the country.
