Why is it so hard to vote in America? And why is making it easier to vote such a divisive issue? Shouldn’t both parties be interested in maximizing voter turnout? Turns out that when you are a HUGE minority, you try to rig the game to avoid becoming obsolete. That’s why the GOP is against making voting easier…because most of the new voters would vote against them. Think about it. And it’s not just the GOP. Some establishment Democrats …yes you Hillary…also seem to be playing the same game.
