If by extending voting rights, you mean keeping dead people and felons on the rolls instead of purging them,I have to wonder why you support that.
What democrats support ridiculous ideas like letting illegal immigrants vote or keeping dead people on voter rolls to abet election fraud? A very specific question. Which democratic politicians support these ideas. Please direct me to a speech or website with evidence. If you can't, it is your own fever dream.
To reiterate something I wrote yesterday:

You all do pretty good jobs of describing and explaining your beliefs, your positions, and even why you like or dislike conservative, libertarian, or republican politicians.

I am glad you think I do a pretty good job describing my beliefs. I don’t think I do, else the people I describe them to would not get them so wrong.
Ok. I Am sitting in a hospital waiting room, writing on an IPad, and I am not very good at looking up stuff even on my desktop, so on evidence I will get back to you.
But there are jurisdictions in California that allow non citizens to vote in local elections. Look it up.

as for conspiracy theorists, what better name have you for the people that clung bitterly to the Russia/Trump collusion myth in the face of overwhelming logic against it, and when it as disproven, switched to a different conspiracy theory?
As opposing the purging of voter rolls that seems to be pretty constantly a Democratic thing. Once again, try google. The constant refrain seems to be the Republicans want to purge the rolls, the Dems want to keep them as they are.
I admit I do not understand the liberal mind. For example, why would they oppose the purging of old voter rolls of ineligible voters?

PS: Not too shabby for an old curmudgeon working on an IPad in a waiting room. I can do more when I get home, or y’all could just google these questions yourselves.
