Why would you want voting to be an ordeal?It's not limiting anything, it's putting some effort into voting.
Lazy people will only vote if you just about bring a ballot to their doorstep. You get less knowledgeable voters that way. People who are interested in politics and policies, nothing will stop them from voting. Imagine a country where only knowledgeable voters actually vote. How much better leadership we would have.
In general you will find more Republican voters knowledgeable of politics than Democrats. That's why lib radio was a failure. That's why CNN lose ratings all the time. It's why Fox is and has been the number one cable news network for many years.
So the Democrat party could never survive if we only had people who know what they are voting on. They heavily depend on the politically ignorant to win elections, and that's why they want to make it as easy as possible.
Is someone who waits six hours to vote superior to someone who waits five minutes?
EVERY American deserves the right to vote
Our country was built on it.
Why do Republicans hate the idea of people voting?
