people from voting that is a whole other thing than discouraging. Would you like to stand in line for 5 hours to vote? How about if you were a single mom who can’t take time off work and are now barred from mail in voting because of new laws. Just because it’s easy for you to vote doesn’t mean people should sit back and be okay with suppressing voters simply because it’s not you. And pretending like this is not concerning flies in the face of reality.
