Voters.

The more people that vote, the less the thug's chances of gaming the election. And they know it. That's why they continually go way out of their way to void the voting rights of as many citizens as possible.

I realize this isn't news. It happens every November. The Thugs think that anyone who has a problem with a registration is going to be voting for a Democrat. With a nearly 5 - 1 Dem to GOP advantage in new registrations this year, it's no wonder the Thugs are scared, and want to preemptively do everything they can to lower that advantage.
