I would say it's because the franchise the lynchpin of our entire democracy. I would add that being turned away when asked, "papers, please" sounds mighty fascist. I am happy to be in the party that wants more people to vote.

On the other hand, The GOP seems mightily invested in supporting Diebold vote counters. Wonder why?

Oh, wait, it's because Diebold gives a shitload of money to the GOP.
