They're desperately doing everything they can to weaken us because they know that they can't survive if the populace is informed and able and willing to vote.

So they attack in three ways.

1. Keep the populace as ignorant and misinformed as possible.
2. Do everything they can within the bounds of the law (and sometimes outside the law) to make it more difficult to vote.
3. Make the populace apathetic and hopeless by pushing false equivalence.
