Help. My son is drinking the kool-aide. He thinks DEMS stole his vote. [View all]

He says that his wife's vote counted, but his didn't that he checked and he wasn't registered, and it shows he did not vote.

So I asked him, "Who is it who wants to restrict voting rights?"

"Oh, so you have to show an ID." He said dismissively.

"And in states where people have to wait hours to vote, and it's dangerously hot, who put in legislation to prevent people from bring water to voters in line?"

The DEMOCRATS he said.


NO NO NO NO Never the DEMS. But he insists.


So my southern friends, can you help me find the legislation and the backers of these horrible bills? I might find them first, but in case he thinks I am lying.... or misinformed by the main stream media.
