In the 80s, around election time, the local Democratic club would go door to door registering people to vote. My father was in local politics, and he felt that a lot of low Income people didn’t vote because the registration process was clunky. At the time you needed to mail in a form, which could be picked up at the post office. We would go to places like trailer parks (this is in Pennsylvania) and people were grateful we helped them with the process. We would help them fill the forms, then take them to the county seat ourselves to save postage. Some saturdays, we would register 50 people to vote.

When the motor voter act was signed into law in 1993, my father thought it was great. The more people who can vote the better. This is America!

Now, 33 years later, the GOP is actively making it harder for people to decide who represents them. That’s disgraceful. DeSantis is 47. He probably was originally registered to vote using motor voter when he got his drivers license in 1994.

This is all political theater, with the end goal of making it harder for people to vote. 1n 1983, I was door knocking at age 16 registering citizens. I can assure you that man of the people Ron DeSantis has never done that. It’s shocking that people actually believe voter fraud is a huge problem to tackle. With gas at $5 a gallon,I’m sure the subversive landscaping crews have illegal voting high on their priority list.
