And beyond voter ID's, why are states purging voter rolls for living voters, closing voting locations, and restricting early voting?

Shouldn't we be trying to get more people to vote?

Nothing concrete; but why not try to fix something before it's broken. Many children brought here illegally are closing in of voting age.

I have no problem with the periodic purging of roles as long as no one area is targeted. I have never been a fan of early voting. I would like to see a Holiday such as President's Day retooled to become Election Day

I think the goal is to get more qualified people to vote. If we want more people to vote we can lower the age to 12.

Personally something I struggle with internally is the "qualification" to vote. I feel with this right comes a degree of responsibility.

"Obtaining an ID is in the too hard to do block, but let me vote for the policies of the nation". I get it's an elitist view (aka the struggle), but why do folks continually complain about Trump and his ignorant base and then suggest there should be no responsibility attached to this right?

I can tell you first hand when I went to the polls to cast my vote in 2016 I saw at least 2 people that had never seen the inside of a voting booth in their life and the workers there had to do everything but check the blocks for them. It was quite obvious where their vote was going.
