They do not care if you do not vote. Actually getting you not to vote is their stated goal and they have spent decades and millions of dollars specifically trying to make it harder for you to vote.

Republican efforts to suppress voting and the democrat “get out the vote” initiatives have much in common.

In some states voting matters, in most it does not. And federally it does not.

Seen in this context both efforts are a type of grifting and scam. No different than other political rabble rousing.

Pretensions USA is a democracy makes reform that much harder. And both parties do this well
