When The Red States Pass These Draconian Voting Laws They Always Say They Do It Because Of Cheating.

yet they have no real data to back that up - they just use cheating as an excuse because it works for them

Well - let's define 'cheating'. Denying peoples rights to vote - is cheating.

Gerrymandering to alter the district to one's advantage - is cheating.

Those are two of the things the Repugs are doing in these Red States. They say they are voting these new voter laws in because of cheating and to prevent cheating - yet - the very things they are doing in these new laws - is really cheating.

They are getting away with it right under our noses.

We need to define what they are doing as cheating.

Don't let them try and pass the blame on the Dems.

Whatever that means.

But like all of their labels and talking points, it is noble sounding gobbledygook.
