Why would we add $25B to an already $763B defense budget in order to “defend our country” but not pass voting rights legislation to defend our democracy? The greatest threat to our democracy - and it is not a small threat - is voter suppression and voter nullification.

What "democracy"? cambridge.org/core/journals/… " . . economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence."

So chicken little. Requiring an ID is reasonable, not burdensome, common on the world and not voter suppression. It is voter integrity. An Illegal vote cancels out the opposite legitimate vote. It is literal suppression of legitimate votes. You have it backwards again.

The greatest threat to our democracy is misinformation concerning voter suppression and voter nullification. Some Democrat controled states have the most restrictive voting laws. usvotefoundation.org/vote/st…

Why do you want stronger identification to buy cough syrup than you do to elect the leader of the country?

Maybe we don't live in a Democracy but a Constitutional Republic via the Constitution. Maybe some people need to stop fighting for a Democracy we don't live in. You have Representatives you've voted for to represent you in Congress. That's called a republic... - Facts
