  - Republicans are perfectly happy to disenfranchise Republicans as long as the get more Democrats. -- nm - mafic Apr 12, 15:51
  - These would likely do the same. Some have expressed concern they might hurt themselves more than they help, but I don't think so. - pmb Apr 12, 15:24
  - The GOP doesn't much like poor white people either. -- nm - . Apr 12, 15:23
