Mr. Trump’s allies have followed a two-pronged approach: restricting voting for partisan advantage ahead of Election Day and short-circuiting the process of ratifying the winner afterward, if Mr. Trump loses.

Lighten up, Francis.
See post 40.
It's a terrible thing - only having citizens vote and only being able to vote once.

You are a liar. I didn’t say it to you. I didn’t say “anyone.”
