In my years as an adult, I have lived in Pennsylvania, New York and Connecticut. All three are so called "blue" states, and none of the three have early voting. If I want to cast my vote, I have to show up on election day or else vote ahead of time by absentee ballot. Is this voter "suppression"? I don't think so, and neither does the media.
Now let's switch the focus to North Carolina, a state that is most accurately called a "red" state. There is a Republican governor and legislature. North Carolina has early voting. If you want to vote in that state, you can show up on any of ten days prior to election day. But get this! North Carolina passed a law in the last year that cut the number of early voting days from 17 to 10 while lengthening the hours on those ten days when polling is open. So voters in North Carolina have ten times the number of days on which to vote compared to voters in PA, NY or CT. Is this voter "suppression"? The answer is a loud yes according to the liberal media.
So how can it be that a state which lets folks vote on ten days is engaged in voter suppression while states that allow voting on just one day are not? Even in the minds of the liberal media, it must be hard to justify that one. Nevertheless, the crazy drumbeat of voter suppression is still coming loud and clear from this crazies.
But wait there's more. North Carolina, just like Connecticut, requires a photo ID when voting. Once again, the requirement in North Carolina is voter suppression while the one in Connecticut is unremarkable. Again, the liberal media does not even try to differentiate between the two states.
So let's go to a third issue. Fully forty states do not allow registration to vote at the polls. Ten states, including North Carolina, allow people to register and vote on the same day. In North Carolina, however, such registration and voting must be done during the ten days of early voting. North Carolina used to allow registration and voting on election day, but just did away with that because it resulted in too much delay to the heavier crowds on election day. So who is engaged in voter suppression; the forty states (including all of the bluest states) that do not allow same day registration or North Carolina which allows same day registration for ten days but not on the eleventh (election day.) In the crazy world of liberal media, North Carolina is the answer.
The sad thing is that the left and their allies in the media seem to think that they can basically say anything and get away with it. That is completely wrong. Oh, there are a few idiots who the left can fool all of the time. Nevertheless, we need to educate America to understand the full extent of the dishonesty of the left and the media. We cannot allow the perversion of debate that seems to be the non-stop effort coming from the left.
