If your (honest) argument for voter suppression (or as True the Vote, a conservative “vote-monitoring” organization based in Texas calls it, voter protection) is that voter fraud is rampant, you are either misguided, brainwashed, or an idiot (and by idiot, I mean someone who has a functioning brain, but chooses not to use it).
With under 300 cases NATIONWIDE in the last election brought to prosecution, I believe we can all agree (again, if we are being honest, something not necessarily easy for a conservative hell-bent on denying a fundamental right to millions), this is NOT a problem for our country. If this is your argument, if this is your logic, then you must also believe that because there are 300 hungry children in, oh let’s say Des Moines, Iowa, ONE MILLION volunteers should be mobilized to fan out to the food banks in 15 other states with the hungriest of children. What?? Is hunger not quite on par with voter fraud as a matter of importance? See, your logic and your actions are colored, not by your publicly stated goal, but by your insidious one. Your end, in Machiavellian terms, is, you think, justified by your means.
Except that it is a farce…it is laughable. And it is sad.
