Republican Strategy to Repress
I felt the Republican strategy to win this weekend. We were volunteers with the San Mateo County Democratic Party and we had gotten permission from Safeway to set up a couple card tables at the edge of their parking lot over the Labor Day Weekend to ask people to to register to vote. There was a Greek Festival going on right next to the Safeway grocery store and we thought we could get a lot of people registered this weekend.
Someone complained to the Safeway CEO about us. So we couldn't continue.
I thought we lived in a country that tries to get its citizens involved in their civic duty.
Is this what Republicans think is the right thing? Repression?
Respectfully,

Yes, they call voter registration "voter fraud."
Look on the bright side- every vote not cast is a vote they don't have to manipulate in some other way.
