Democrats losing their 'voter suppression' argument

 Jazz Shaw:

One theme that the Democrats have been pushing for years now is the idea that Republican lawmakers have been trying to suppress turnout by passing “restrictive” voting laws that disenfranchise people and make it more difficult to register and vote. They’ve received a lot of support from most of the mainstream media, where talking heads repeat these allegations as if they are factual. All of this is being done despite the fact that many red states that have passed new, widely criticized voting laws (such as Georgia) have more permissive voting procedures and more days of early voting than some blue states like New York. But the one question I keep trying to raise is where we might find all of these people who are having trouble voting? And is the public really buying this malarkey?

A new poll from Morning Consult may give us a good indication as to the answer to the second question. As the Washington Examiner reports, that question was put to the public. And contrary to Democratic talking points, a significant plurality of the public thinks that it’s actually already too easy to vote, leading to the possibility of votes being cast illegally.

Democrats have spent years now fearmongering about voter suppression. People aren’t buying it.

According to a Morning Consult poll , 44% of adults believe that current voting laws “are not strict enough to prevent votes from being case illegally.” Only 33% think that current voting laws “make it too difficult for eligible citizens to vote.” Independent voters believe, 35%-29%, that it is too easy to vote rather than too difficult. Hispanics are evenly split on the question, and 30% of black voters believe that voting laws are too permissive.

Obviously, that leaves 23% of respondents undecided. But Democrats are failing to nudge them in their direction in spite of a full-throated embrace of the narrative about voter suppression and a huge assist from the media. That indicates that their hysteria is accomplishing little.

Democrats seem intent on making it easier for people to vote for their dead relatives with universal mail-in voting.   California is probably the worst with this gambit and there is no telling who actually is sending in the votes.
