Our current system is broken, and I believe it was broken by people who want to exploit it. I don't have proof (other than numbers that don't add up), but it doesn't matter when you have one side of the aisle that wants anyone to vote (even if they aren't citizens), people underage to vote, no voter id, no voter signature, no showing ID, and ballot harvesting... I mean, c'mon, dude. No one who wants a fair and transparent election is for those things unless they know it creates an advantage for them. That alone is an issue that needs to be addressed, but you don't ever say a WORD about it. But you know what you do talk about? "Racist" voting restrictions championed by the same people who are trying to remove every possible way we can verify voters. It's ridiculous. The vote total in this country is being enlarged by large amounts of illegals gaining access to vote without fear of repercussions, and densely populated, heavily blue areas are outperforming all others. I believe that's because we don't thoroughly regulate those areas, and when we do, it's because we're "racist."

I have never complained that any attempt to change the voting process was racist.  Don't put words in my mouth now.  I favor things like photo ID being required to vote.  
I have noted that, historically, low income and black neighborhoods have had longer wait times and less convenient polling locations, but that's in the past and also irrelevant with mail in voting being so popular now.  
In fact, I blame the race-baiters among us, the Democrats in Florida, for sinking the top-two primary amendment, when they convinced white liberals that it would hurt Black people.  And of course it won't.  But I digress.

You most certainly have claimed such a thing.

You know, maybe I am putting words in your mouth, though the dots connect themselves. Maybe you said disenfranchised voters, but the people who say that typically are referring to "racist" policies that cause it. I wish I could remember the window to search for that argument, because I know we've had it..
