Democrats would rather rig the system than change their message to attract voters

James Piereson:

For Democrats the Problem Is Their Message, Not the System

For decades now, liberals in the United States have reacted to electoral losses by demanding changes in election laws to make it easier for them to win. They have long railed against the Electoral College for that reason, claiming that a national popular vote for the presidency would be fairer, more transparent, and (incidentally) more likely to lead to Democratic victories (a debatable proposition).

They have also criticized (for similarly partisan reasons) registration requirements, voter identification laws, campaign finance rules, and single-day elections. After Republicans recaptured the Senate in 2014 and then maintained control in 2016, they amped up the volume of attacks on the provision in the U.S. Constitution giving every state two senators despite wide variations in state populations. The system is unfair and undemocratic, they say, though their main gripe is that it does not provide them with an easier path to victory. Donald Trump’s surprise victory in the 2016 election only aggravated their discontent with various features of the U.S. electoral system.

I disagree with Piereson on their position on the electoral college.  They were fine with it as long as they thought their "blue wall" would hold.  It is when Trump breached the blue wall that they suddenly thought the electoral college was in need of change. 

Piereson is right about their position on voting in general.  They want to make it as easy as possible for Democrats to cheat.  That is why they oppose scrubbing the registration rolls of people who have not been voting and their opposition to voter ID.  Their arguments on both issues are bogus and racists.  Blacks and Hispanics are as capable of getting an ID as anyone else in this country. In fact, most of them already have them if they are legal residents.
