Most lefties should have their right to vote taken away until they can understand something as simple as fascism.
OP, like many lefties, have no clue what fascism is. If you cannot use it correctly in a sentence, we don't need your votes.
Some of the biggest blows to the progressive cause in the past year have often been due to the votes of white men. If white men were not allowed to vote, it is unlikely that the United Kingdom would be leaving the European Union, it is unlikely that Donald Trump would now be the President of the United States, and it is unlikely that the Democratic Alliance would now be governing four of South Africa's biggest cities.
If white men no longer had the vote, the progressive cause would be strengthened. It would not be necessary to deny white men indefinitely – the denial of the vote to white men for 20 years (just less than a generation) would go some way to seeing a decline in the influence of reactionary and neo-liberal ideology in the world. The influence of reckless white males were one of the primary reasons that led to the Great Recession which began in 2008. This would also strike a blow against toxic white masculinity, one that is long needed.
The article went viral and drew widespread accusations of racism. But HuffPost South Africa's editor in chief defended the piece and its “blindingly obvious” arguments.
Until last week, when the article's author was revealed to be not a female philosophy student, but a man in a wig — a hoaxer who said he never expected HuffPost (formerly known as the Huffington Post) to publish his intentionally outrageous submission.
But since it did — and even defended the piece — South Africa's media regulator accused HuffPost of publishing hate speech last week, prompting its regional editor in chief to resign over what began as an elaborate gag.

An old person shut in at a nursing home who has everything taken care of for them?
How'd they get into the nursing home?
How'd they pay for the services?
How do they get medicine and treatment?
They have family do it.
Even in nursing homes you need ID. They are required to keep it on file along with who checked them in.
You predicted??? I'm glad you were right...Just think, only American citizens will be able to vote...How novel is that???

I predicted this when Trump got elected in my predictions post that somehow disappeared. Anyways, the Republicans are going to try to take away the right to vote from as many Americans as possible to keep themselves in power while they strip away as much wealth and opportunity as possible from the rest of us. This commission is just a sham like everything else that Trump does. This guy Kobach blocked over 10% of people applying to vote in Kansas from being able to vote. That's a plenty big enough margin to throw almost any election if this is perpetuated nationwide. Fascism is truly here.

Just curious. How do you get documented cases without an investigation?

The republicans are not trying to take the right to vote away from American citizens. They are trying to prevent illegal aliens from voting
Republicans block citizens from voting every election. The article says 1 out of 7 new voters in Kansas were blocked from voting while there were only a handful of illegals found voting.
This is not for combating imaginary election fraud, it's to stop American citizens from being able to protect themselves from traitorous Republicans.
