I'm beginning to understand after this last election cycle how corrupt the DNC really is. Anything is fair game to get ahead...

No, you have no understanding. The entire GOP effort in this issue is
aimed only at reducing the ranks of voters. There's no widespread voter
fraud.

Looks like the GOP Is trying to tighten voter security where Ellison gable or not, the DNC will grab anyone to pull the lever.


I am sure it looks that way to you. Your political acumen ranks somewhat
lower than my understanding of particle accelerators.


It looks that way to the college professor who conducted the study.

"Republicans respond to even small reports of voter fraud, seeing them as a reason to back stricter voting access, according to the research by John V.. Kane, a professor at New York University, whose study was published in the latest Public Opinion Quarterly.

Democrats, meanwhile, generally support voter-ID but their support is less firm. If told the GOP would suffer from stricter voter-ID laws, Democrats become more supportive, Mr. Kane found.

“There’s different concerns in both camps. Republicans really do appear to be super-concerned about fraud and Democrats not so much. Democrats really appear to be concerned about the electoral implications, not so much fraud,” Mr. Kane told The Washington Times.

“Voter ID is yesterday’s fight, and it’s a fight proponents won because it is supported overwhelmingly,” Mr. Adams said. “The bottom line is the vast majority of Americans support voter ID. That some academic study found that Democrats are less concerned about election crimes is hardly news.”
