commented this before and comment the same thing again

if the people that the Democrats and Republicans keep from voting had their rights magically restored don't think either party would win any more elections since this is a nationwide issue but voting is not always restricted using the same legal language

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comprehensive_Crime_Control_Act_of_1984

The 1994 Crime Bill marked a shift in the politics of crime and policing in the United States. Sociologist and criminologist William R. Kelly states that, "While the longer-term impact of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 was questionable, the political impact was clear—crime control or 'tough on crime' became a bipartisan issue."[36]

Which Republican voters are being kept from voting?

Registered Republicans are the most likely to be caught trying to vote 2 or more times.

False equivalency.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Yes, all of those Republicans being kept from voting. Like all those poor Republican people of color who are big Trump supporters.

The more people vote, the bigger the Democrat's share of the vote.
