Stephen Miller defends making it harder for people to vote



By Oliver Willis -July 31, 2020 11:08 AM

Voter ID laws disproportionately affect minorities, the disabled, and low-income Americans. But Trump adviser Steven Miller doesn't see a problem with that.

White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller defended restrictive voter ID laws in an appearance on Fox News on Friday.

"How can anybody claim that it is voter suppression to ask if somebody who's voting, if John Smith is really John Smith?" Miller asked, adding, "It's a simple principle: one citizen, one vote. Emphasis on the word citizen."

Miller was responding to President Barack Obama's call for voting reforms as he eulogized civil rights hero John Lewis on Thursday.

Voter ID laws have frequently been implemented by Republicans as a tactic to suppress votes, particularly among groups that tend to vote for Democratic candidates, such as ethnic minorities and young voters.

It's the fairly rapid, staccato delivery. Just saw him on CNN and it made him seem even creepier.
