@jadler1969 @MichaelMcGough3 I discuss that in the piece.

@rickhasen @MichaelMcGough3 your description in piece certainly seems to operate like ratchet 1/2

@jadler1969 @MichaelMcGough3 goes beyond ratchet e.g. to target ny, pa failure to provide any early voting opportunities

@rickhasen @MichaelMcGough3 but early voting can reduce turnout, so how is lack of it a meaningful "burden"?

@jadler1969 @MichaelMcGough3 I think the better reading of the literature is that it generally does not reduce turnout (1)

@rickhasen @MichaelMcGough3 is there any evidence it increases it? If not, how is lack of it meaningful burden?

@jadler1969 @MichaelMcGough3 Because it no doubt burdens at least some voters each election day, even if overall effect is flat

@rickhasen @MichaelMcGough3 if effect is flat, then could say having it is "burden" on others -those whose turnout drops.
