Here, I will discuss the real voter suppression problem. Unlike ACORN, this has become a cancer that has been forming in our country for the longest time. The problem that I am reffering to is GOP voter suppression. The GOP is a nice term for the house republicans up high on their chairs. The problem that we have with this issue is that the government themselves are suppressing votes.
It has been reported on The Nation, that "A recent report in the New York Times found that in some battleground states, for every new voter registered two other voters have been removed. Colorado, a state experiencing rapid population increases, has seen more than 100,000 voters erased from its rolls." The recent report that they are talking about from the New York Times starts with "Tens of thousands of eligible voters in at least six swing states have been removed from the rolls or have been blocked from registering in ways that appear to violate federal law." This somewhat proves that the government is trying to fix the polls by canceling out as many swing states as possible, so that there wont be a swing. Without a swing, theres no surprizes and the government can prepare for whats next. But without a swing, wheres the democracy? Where is the basis of what this country has been running on for years?
Really I don't see it, and that, to me, is unconstitutional, and unamerican. What happened to the great patriotic republican party that we all have come to know and love?
