Title: What the Left Calls Voting Rights Cheapens Your Vote

NPR ran a story just the other day comparing Trump and Harris on “voting rights.” It is a fascinating look at the perverse way in which the left uses this term.

To believe this article, and indeed from much else from the left or from the Harris campaign itself, is to imagine that Trump’s position is one designed entirely to keep some significant number of people from voting, while Harris advocates merely for preventing evil conservatives from robbing some portion of the electorate (non-white, of course) of the sacred right to the franchise.

Of course this is not the story at all.

What the left wants is total federal control over the voting requirements and processes of each state. There is no evidence at all that any state currently discriminates against potential voters on the basis of race. The left nevertheless insists that granting any amount of local autonomy over the voting process means that a given state might be engaged in such discrimination. What they really mean, however, is that some localities may not follow the left’s dictates on voting, which involve eliminating serious efforts to prevent ineligible people from voting and making the voting as simple as mailing a postcard.

The fundamental question that is never addressed is this: Why should voting be as easy as possible?

We consider voting important, do we not? It may even be the most important responsibility of a citizen in a free society. It is certainly a far more important part of citizenship than passing an exam in school, or getting a driver’s license, or obtaining a hunting permit, no?

Why, then, do some want to make voting easier to do than any of those things I just listed? Why do they want to make it as close to an effortless, thoughtless process as possible?

The answer is clear. The people who support this—and they are highly concentrated on the political left, and in the Democratic Party—do so precisely because they know it contributes to the destruction of traditional American society and culture. And these processes of destruction are so far advanced already that even many of those who oppose making voting easier do so for reasons that fail to grasp the real stakes and oppose it only on the less fundamental ground of possible fraud or delays in reporting results.
