Let’s say I buy William O’Brien’s reasons for trying to thwart college students from voting.
Let’s say I buy the remarks that O’Brien, a Republican who is state House Speaker in New Hampshire, made to some tea partiers about student voters recently - that they’re “foolish,” that they have “no life experience,” and that they “just vote their feelings.”
Even if I agreed with that, and even if GOPers like O’Brien fervently believe that foolish people ought to have to leap through more hoops than others to get to the ballot box, then I’d have to insist that such criteria shouldn’t just apply to college students.
This article by Tonyaa Weathersbee is on time. The Republicans are preying on the ignorant and fearful, and driving stakes through the democratic process.
However, keep in mind, this is what alot of people wanted. This is what taking America back looks like for many of these folks. It's a last yelp... but a vicious yelp indeed.
