> voting is an exercise in choosing the best candidate. Under
> that philosophy, it makes sense to make voting harder to weed
> out those who might care less, or be less tied to the
> community, or be less educated or intelligent.
>
> And:
>
> The Democrats’ philosophy about voting and elections could not be

> allocation of power among political equals, and it is not the
> state’s job to decide who is smart enough or motivated enough to
> vote. Indeed, Democrats’ concerns about these new Republican laws

> it is that by adding additional effort to the requirements to cast

> voters from bothering to take the steps necessary to cast a ballot
