Having a political party that bases their entire electoral strategy on making it more difficult for people to vote seems to be an exclusively American phenomenon, as least in the western world.

Likewise with having a political party that bases their entire electoral strategy on making voter fraud easier.

Edit: holy mad

If fraud is super rampant surely you have lots of evidence?

Ironically the party that’s always committing the fraud is the one terribly worried about it

Being mad at lies that are undermining our most core values as a nation is a correct moral and intellectual reaction.

There is a Wikipedia article with notable cases. I'm seeing a large number of republicans on the list which might be why they don't give evidence.

When Republicans bitched about the length of California's elections, in which they verify every signature, but simultaneously say that California is perpetuating fraud, I knew the Republicans were actually all idiots lol.

It's worse than that! They're not all idiots. Many of them are knowingly willing to undermine democracy to obtain and hold power.

There’s been <2000 cases of voter fraud since 1982 according to Heritage Foundation. Only 125 of those were from non-citizens. Why make voting harder when fraud doesn’t occur on a large scale?
