    It's really good that George Will is taking up this issue. One positive thing Never Trumpers can do is help build bi-partisan consensus against anti-democratic measures.https://twitter.com/jmartNYT/status/983055558163886080 …

        At the very least, the old neocons who hate Trump don't want an American dictatorship, and that's *something*

        I initially figured you were being sarcastic, because I couldn’t imagine Will making a case for enfranchisement. But he did, so good on him. (I’d say federal felonies for treason should still be a life sentence, however. In case we have any, you know.)

        I am finding myself ageeeing more and more with George Will (and other Never Trumpers).

        Exactly. We need prominent GOP voices speaking out against #Crosscheck also. It is inaccurate, risky for the state of Kansas due to liability, and contributes very negatively to fears about election integrity. #EndCrosscheck #LeaveCrosscheck #ERICinEveryState

        Never-Trumpers are irrelevant and don't have a base to build anything off of. Working with them will only move the Overton window farther to the right.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        How can a country call itself a beacon of democracy, yet deny any adult citizen the right and opportunity to vote? This appears to make voting a privilege rather than a right (My view from the outside, incarcerated Canadians vote).

        I don't see how this disenfranchisement is constitutional. IF it is, why not deny the vote to people convicted of a misdemeanor or unpaid traffic ticket?
