(9,141 posts)Paul Waverick, a republican activist who started ALEC and headed the Heritage Foundation said to a group of republican activists Christians..."How many of our Christians have what I call the goo-goo- syndrome...Good Government. They want everybody to vote. I don't want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of the people,they never have been and they are not now. In fact our leverage in the elections quite frankly goes up as the voting populace goes down".
It is ALEC who contrives these voter ID laws in the states and the reason is to prevent people ;from voting...especially democratic voters. This is not how a democracy is supposed to work but republicans don't care about anything except winning and will do anything to that end including bringing down an economy or starting a war. These authoritarian types want totalitarianism where they dominate without exception. They no longer know how to participate in a democracy and therefore must be eliminated from government which they use to enrich themselves at our expense.
They are trying to make it as difficult as possible for some groups to vote while they commit election fraud at every opportunity.
You can be sure that whatever they blame democrats for they are themselves doing.
