If every eligible voter actually voted, the republican party would be gone.
It is sad that so few vote and even sadder that one group works relentlessly to keep people from voting.

suppress the vote. That is why they pulled out the stops to get Shrub in and his SCOTUS appointees. They have been key in this two-pronged strategy--Citizen United and the vote to gut Civil Rights voting laws. They planned for this.

They are trying to keep us from voting because they're afraid we will win.
