In every one of these incidents or actions by corrupt and lying Republicans, the objective has always been to deceive, mislead, or hide from the public damning information. However, even when the truth is publicized and when media bias is temporarily overcome to some extent, the public do not become moved sufficiently to organize and support the truthtellers to fully expose and defeat the scoundrels. Why is that? What is wrong with the American people or what prevents us from becoming agitated enough and active enough to become effective against such corruption and greedy ambition? What makes the people so obtuse, passive, and apathetic? Why is the outrage of a few not more contagious? Many of us have heard these facts before. Why is it so impossible to get the word out to a much larger number of people? Or do people care? Or are they capable of understanding or accepting the reality? There is a piece of the puzzle missing. It's about time we figured that out and looked a bit harder for that one crucial piece.

The voting process is made unnecessarily complicated on purpose by creating so many hoops for people to jump through, making them take time off work to remain in compliance. People shouldn't have to fight for the right to vote, but under this regulatory regime, they have to--and Democrats should be right there to offer help, because this is where the battle is.
