    While your right that the way past it is to literally push through and get the numbers up to break their margins, that’s hard to do when the system is rigged to make it so difficult to vote it might require you taking an entire day off to do it. So many people are living paycheck to paycheck that they can’t afford that, and the people with disposable income and time to do that are the old and the rich who typically vote republican. Which is the point.
