If you are going to do something unconstitutional, it's probably best not to make a big deal about it, i.e. jumping up and down, clapping and screaming like a little girl on her birthday who got a puppy...which is what the GOP state legislators did when the voter ID laws were deemed possible. They were so transparent in their aims it was pathetic.
We need to weed the pathetic out of government - with votes.
Of course Alito, Thomas and Scalia would have no problem changing the rules in the middle of the election. The only shock is that Roberts didn't agree with them.
I'm just gonna leave this thought here: federally mandated fair rules for all states, in all elections, that require polling places to have enough machines so that no one's wait is longer than 45 minutes; voting day is moved to Saturday; early voting is something you can do online from anywhere at any time in the month before an election; and once you register in one state, a nationwide database keeps track so that if you register again elsewhere, the database can cross-check whether you actually moved or are trying to pull something. Oh, and no confusing paper ballots and wording that makes you vote the wrong way because you couldn't understand the question.
For all practical purposes it's government-issued, so it ought to work.

I would so love to hear that slimy scum bucket give a concession speech.
Does anyone else find SCOTUS erratic and confusing?
It's becoming my least favorite side effect of democrancy.
