If such preposterous rationalizations for voter suppression were advanced in befuddled good faith, cartoons like this would immediately disabuse them. But of course they know they’re lying.
I grew up in the South, spending much time hunting and fishing, right… So I can hear some numbnut saying this now as per the angle in this cartoon: “Well, sometimes you gotta drive a long way to get your huntin’ license too.” I’ll stop.
The most vile thing about this (of many) is that so many of the folks who support this KNOW it is unjust and unfair….. but they support it simply because it is designed to let their “side” win. They think that their winning is a valid reason. It is gerrymandering not of the landscape, but socioeconomics.
An excellent statement for a mandate to initiate a truly national mail-in ballot system that would automatically register and supply every person in the country with ballots to each and every election….a side affect of that would be to have better oversight regulation of postal systems and making postal board appointment apolitical.
It’s time to review voting restrictions in the Klan states.
Watch this, and please pay particular attention to my personal hero, Mr Terence Rushin at ~5.08, and his remarkable resilience.

Remember Ruby Bridges? The wee black girl who, in 1960 Louisiana, went to school escorted by U.S. Marshals?
Maybe we need to hire and train more marshals to be present at EVERY polling place in the Klan states for the next few elections. And ARREST anyone attempting to prohibit an American Citizen to vote. And take them out – handcuffed – slowly past the long line of prospective voters – and the PRESS!!!
This democracy is too important to be in the hands of racist scum.
I.D. should be required to vote.The franchise should be only for those gainfully employed. (Those who do not pay taxes should have no say in how tax money is spent)Two terms should be the limit for any polititian.
It took a little indoctrination time, but THE SUPREME KANGAROO COURT is showing its wide RED STRIPE in honor of their appointments by the Repulsican Crime Family. Nothing is illegal as long as it helps the CONservatives steal control of the country and it shafts the Democrats Adolf would be so proud.
Rethugliecons think they have to cheat to win. They refuse to look at what would make them more attractive to more voters, content to stew in their hatred and bigotry.

Did you remember your ID Sam? The right-wing trumpians say that is the only thing the republicans are doing. And everyone can get an ID.

“Alito! You’re voting in the wrong state! Don’t do it again, please”.
Meanwhile, if someone of color has the slightest infraction: “Five years! And you can never vote again!”

Add one handicap after another to your opponents until you win. The world can see what’s happening here.

The Greedy Old Pricks will do anything to win an election except get more votes. They know they’re dying off and unpopular amongst younger voters.

Sorry, no early voting today. And the nearest place you can stay is 10 miles over that way.

Vicious miniority Republicans want to nullify your vote so they can put a lying psychopath into the office of the president.
