I think you’re discounting how much historical and cultural imperatives influence the electoral zeitgeist.
Like Germany being touchy tracking religious affiliations post WWII, post civil-war America is touchy about voter supression - im specifically referencing post civil war voter suppression conducted in what was then a Democrat stronghold in the American South.
Many argue that shame has never gone away and is still being conducted today through modern tactics.
Many would argue such a shame should never be dismissed at all.
I didn’t discount that at all
> it is accurate that any voter registration tweak has been used to decline legal voters ability to vote
Acknowledging voter suppression exists is an understated way to communicate the severity of cultural shock events that transform entire societies.
did I miss anything?
so consensus is, no. you just didn’t like the way I wrote it
