Trump's next attack on democracy: mass voter suppression
I would expect these actions from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, or any of the other authoritarian regimes we have sanctioned around the world regimes that stay in power by suppressing their people and manipulating election results. We must not lie to ourselves when we see the warning signs here at home. This commission is a harbinger of a top-down, White House-endorsed assault on voters, specifically Democratic voters: the same voters who denied Trump the popular vote.

(2,265 posts)Now we have a Republican governor, Chris Sununu, and he's more than happy to do Trump's bidding. I'm glad that all four of our Congress people (all women) are Democrats, though.
