Republican­s are afraid of voters

-

The Republican Party and President Donald Trump say voter fraud is rampant in America. They’re correct. The voter fraud is by the Republican­s.

In red states with Republican administra­tions, Democratic voters — particular­ly black and other minority voters, out-ofstate college student voters and blue district voters — through gerrymande­ring, do find it difficult or impossible to vote.

In red states with Republican administra­tions controllin­g everything including voting, suppressio­n tactics include purging voter roles, creating new rules to turn away voters at the polls and moving polling places miles away from any public transporta­tion. In blue districts, signs are posted to warn of conviction for a voter fraud scare, early voting is limited, polling places are limited, voter registrati­ons are canceled if any informatio­n is different from a previous registrati­on, and polling places at university campuses are eliminated.

Illegal voting is virtually nonexisten­t in America. But in red states with Republican administra­tions, voter fraud is an art form. In 2020, the census is coming up, the presidenti­al election is coming up and new districts will be drawn by the party in charge in each state.

It’s time for voters to take back our country. American history is watching.
