If people are motivated enough to vote and find themselves purged or their votes overturned, there will be hell to pay. So we must continue to urge people to csre enough to vote. Motivated people will not sit idly by and watch their votes or ability to vote get cancelled. They WILL rebel. They WILL make the system change, if they have to do it by force.
