    Dems need to draw a line in the sand here and do some of the campaigning on this

    “They are so afraid that they would rather shut down government than allow votes”

      I suspect the redhats would just interpret the votes being blocked were for “illegals” and that this was a good thing. Because they’ve been told this repeatedly.

            That’s the counterpoint. The data shows that it was already illegal for “illegals” to vote and there are no reported cases of it. However, there are hundreds of cases of republicans using this law to prevent (your) college students from voting. If you have a son or daughter away at college, do they have their birth certificate with them so they can register to vote?

              Why did you feel the need to make a counterpoint to me pointing out that they don’t care about counterpoints?

                pretty sure Republicans care about counterpoints if their counterpoint to “Republicans are shutting down the govt” is “them illegals!”. The correct reply is “your kids!”
