(7,060 posts)I had no trouble voting. I believe I would have fought, stood inline, traveled and paid for an ID if it was necessary...I believe I would have but it must have been hard, depressing and exhausting for some. I imagine if you had to travel or miss work (therefore money) to fill out paperwork to get a voter ID, it was too much for some.
Add to that, gerrymandering, false and misleading ads, downright direct intimidation and of course actual lies, it was a plan. A well funded plan.
Our government has been bought and sold..... with some actively participating. It breaks my heart.
I suppose many think of their senators as distant and not really anything to do with them. The fact that some of the governors were reelected with public knowledge of their bad performance..... Brownback and Scott come to mind is a mystery. That congressman who has been indicted for 20 counts of fraud was reelected...... there is no rational explanation.
