It's almost like the Republicans have a strategy of disenfranchising as many voters as possible. You would think with so many Republicans caught in voter fraud schemes they would want to let them vote again after they got out of jail though...

NY Times - G.O.P.-Appointed Judges Threaten Democracy, Liberals Seeking Court Expansion Say

The study, the “Anti-Democracy Scorecard,” was commissioned by the group Take Back the Court, which supports expanding the judiciary. It identified 309 votes by judges and justices in 175 election-related decisions and found a partisan pattern: Republican appointees interpreted the law in a way that impeded ballot access 80 percent of the time, versus 37 percent for Democratic ones.

The numbers were even more stark when limited to judges appointed by President Trump, who has had tremendous success at rapidly reshaping the judiciary. Of 60 rulings in election-related cases, 85 percent were “anti-democracy” according to the analysis.

One good call, one bad call. And of course it is ****ing Texas now leading the way in voter suppression because it went from a red state to purple leaning further into blue and Republicans can't have honest government.

So, sounds like Kavanaugh's concurrence was written while he was enjoying beer.

When things are bad as they are, we really shouldn't rely on the generosity of Zuckerberg and Schwarzenegger to make sure enough polling places are open and properly staffed.
