Unfortunately Republicans are not good faith actors in this space. There are many issues to discuss about voting, but I'll just stick to one very important one, access. Republicans limit access to voting. They are not for mail in voting and continue to close down polling places forcing thousands of citizens to stand in line for hours. If they really cared, they would make it easier for the citizens to vote. But we know that's not their goal. They win when fewer people vote. So, whatever means to achieve that, that's what they'll do.

If they were serious, there would a paid mandatory National Voting Holiday.

You'd be surprised how few people have Sunday off.
