I agree completely with what you're saying although I would point out that these so-called voter suppression bills won't make one bit of difference on turnout. They are not the danger. The danger is in those provisions which allows state legislators and Congress to override the will of the people as expressed at the voting booth. Priority number one needs to be fixing the Electoral count Act which gives Congress a blank check to throw out State electoral results if they deem them as a result of fraud. When it comes to voting you have the voters and the vote counters. The real danger is the latter. That is where the next presidential election could be stolen. Trump is not going to win at the voting booth. If he wins it is going to be because of the people counting and certifying the vote give him a win despite the will of the voters.

Yup. Bannon has bragged about stacking the local elections machinery with partisans. It's all happening in plain sight. Not sure what can be done at the Federal level, but I'd like to see at least some attention to the issue.
