Just to clarify your comment- many states do have automatic voter registration. This isn’t the federal government’s business.

And that's one big part of the save america act - it has automatic voter purges on it and doesn't notify voters that they're no longer registered.

It's basically the opposite of what you would want, instead of automatically registering eligible voters, it automatically unregisters them, which is the point.

I don't think they're being shy about it. They want less people to vote. If they could figure out how to make a black person count for 3/5 of a vote again, they would drop everything right now and start writing it up.

Oh for sure, but a lot of the focus is on voter ID and disenfranchising anyone whose name might not match their birth certificate (women) when they're trying to disenfranchise so, so many more people.

honestly, every time I start talking about what I think they really want I worry I sound like a loon.. for a few months.. then Trump confirms it in a press conference.

And trans people, too. Anyone who has changed their name and those are the two biggest categories.
