re: #12 Daniel Ballard

I never said disenfranchising was good, okay, or acceptable. On numerous occasions I have posted against suppression. I made the mistake of suggesting an additional means to thwart that effort. Additional means that in no way interfere with legal challenges to a state ID law wrongly motivated.

Really, discussing additional means to thwart disenfranchising voters should not be met so negatively. But it has been. The message would seem to be only one way of fighting this is acceptable. I reject that premise. I endorse fighting this in each way possible. Obviously many disagree with that. Perhaps a few might reconsider. That thought makes the downside of holding this opinion worthwhile, worth posting in old threads and at risk of repetition.

OK, I’ll reconsider a little bit, as long as you’re sincere that this is not accommodation to voter suppression efforts, but only a way to re-enfranchise its victims. I think the main focus should be defeat at the polls and in the courts for this blatantly anti-democratic tactic. (Small ‘d’ there.)
