In reply to the discussion: A Message from Hillary Supporter, Rep John Lewis~ [View all]PATRICK
(12,378 posts)30. Considering we have gone backwards
in protecting and enlarging the vote, whatever the resistance of the administration and vocal resistance as ineffective or more ineffective than ever, it would behoove the general party to make this a core issue a lot more strongly instead of sacrificing more votes to the GOP strategy- again- to the threatening of our already scarily reduced democracy.
