I've stated this many times, but if the Republican Party is so confident that the American people agree with their views and support their policies, then there would be no need to engage in these egregious acts to suppress votes.

Why not allow the American people to speak through their votes? And without going through this rigor to suppress them?

Answer: Perhaps the GOP aren't confident at all that the American people--if they truly knew the real reasons and motives behind Republican rhetoric--would not support the candidates or their policies.
