Voter Integrity? Right..
The "uniformity" argument doesn't make sense when the demand on polling places is not uniform. The new laws make it harder for city dwellers than suburbanites. The "voter fraud" so frequently cited simply doesn't exist. What does exist is a clear pattern. It's Republicans that are pushing these measures. And the measures have the effect of disenfranchising voting groups that tend to vote for Democrats. Republicans are clearly using their positions of power to maintain that power even if it means subverting the expression of popular will. They are exhibiting a genuine disrespect for democracy and an embrace of moneyed imperialism.
