      Real talk: in America today, there is not a whole lot of voter fraud, but there is more evidence of actual voter fraud than there is evidence of actual voter suppression.

      Hi Dan, I have a PhD in Political Science and wrote my dissertation on the development of election laws. You are 100% incorrect. Please feel free to reach out if you want actual data.

      1. Define "voter suppression." 2. Citation to published work.

      Voter Suppression: Any policies enacted by elected officials creating voting requirements that, by their implementation, would present voters with an obstacle to voting that does not meaningfully increase the actual (not perceived) security of the vote.

      "An obstacle" on one side, "meaningfully increase" on the other. So, you start off including de minimis obstacles on one side, but places the burden of showing meaningfulness on the other. This is exactly the sort of scale-thumb that makes so much of the literature untrustworthy.

          Well yes. In a free country the burden of evidence should be stacked against any government entity that wants to emplace voting obstacles.

          I'm sorry, do you write for NRO? Are you suggesting it's in line with Conservative values to enact legislation affecting individual rights without showing substantive need, or ensuring that those rights are still protected? Talk about being pro-big government.

          Matt, tRump has rudely and graphically shown us that many self-destribed "conservatives" are only conservative when it serves their political goals.

          Of course the burden of meaningfulness is placed on the side that’s trying to put an obstacle in the way of a constitutional right. Duh.

          The fact that facts don’t match your opinions doesn’t make them untrustworthy. Unless, of course, your argument is that you lack the ability to comprehend the research on the topic. From what I’ve read here from you, that seems most likely, Occam’s Razor and all that.

          Yes. We don't add 53 captchas to a login page, even though it'd be more secure, because access is extremely important. We only add controls as long as we believe they are required to stop abuse. Of course the burden of proof is on the gov. adding more security controls to vote.
