I wouldn't accuse them of hypocrisy. They have always been about winning at any cost. In this they have been perfectly consistent. Suppressing the military vote helps them. Having felons vote helps them. Having illegals vote helps them.
By any means necessary.
About 12 years ago I was coming out of the grocery store and there was a guy (democrat)there getting people registered to vote. One person said that they were an ex-convict and couldn't vote but the guy assured that person it was ok for ex-cons to vote.
