The more people vote. The governor of New York, Kathy Hochul, signed a bill expanding voting by mail.
The ink wasn’t even dry, and Elis Stefanik filed a lawsuit to stop it.
People having convenient ways to vote is a nightmare for Republicans.
They know the more people vote, the less power they have.
Republicans’ ideas are so bad the only way they can stay in power is to suppress the vote. Some of them have even admitted this.
Here’s Donald Trump:
You look at before and after, the things they had in there were crazy. They had things, levels of voting that if you ever agreed to it, you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again.
Lindsey Graham said something similar in 2020:
If we don’t do something about voting by mail, we’re gonna lose the ability to elect a Republican in this country.
Let’s go back in history. Paul Weyrich, co-founder of the Heritage Foundation and the moral majority with Jerry Falwell, said this:
Now, 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 people.
They never have been from the beginning of our country, and they are not now.
As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down.
Again, to quote Weyrich, “Our leverage in the elections quite frankly goes up as the voting populace goes down.”
Voter suppression is a Republican strategy.
