I respond to the New York Times article “Students join argument over strict voting laws” in Sunday’s Dispatch. I cannot understand the point of view from the civil-rights groups stating that the Republicans’ ideas to prevent voter fraud are biased/discriminatory against Democrats.
The laws are going to be effective for both parties.
Are the civil-rights people insinuating that the Democrats are not as smart as the Republicans? The article mentioned one college student whose opinion was that the Republican law would make it more difficult for him to vote. I wonder how. If he cannot figure out how to register to vote and he cannot figure out which day(s) to vote, then one wonders how qualified he is to cast a responsible vote.
Once upon a time, Election Day was held on one day. Everyone knew what day that would be, and those who chose to vote would either go to the polls or vote absentee.
