One thing to add to the greatest free speech crisis since an Oberlin student told a student newspaper that it would probably better not to label a pulled-pork sandwich a “banh mi” is that Kyke Duncan’s political faction thinks that the “appalling idiots” he successfully trolled should not be able to vote:

Alarmed over young people increasingly proving to be a force for Democrats at the ballot box, Republican lawmakers in a number of states have been trying to enact new obstacles to voting for college students.

In Idaho, Republicans used their power monopoly this month to ban student ID cards as a form of voter identification.

But so far this year, the new Idaho law is one of few successes for Republicans targeting young voters.

Attempts to cordon off out-of-state students from voting in their campus towns or to roll back preregistration for teenagers have failed in New Hampshire and Virginia. Even in Texas, where 2019 legislation shuttered early voting sites on many college campuses, a new proposal that would eliminate all college polling places seems to have an uncertain future.

“When these ideas are first floated, people are aghast,” said Chad Dunn, the co-founder and legal director of the UCLA Voting Rights Project. But he cautioned that the lawmakers who sponsor such bills tend to bring them back over and over again.

“Then, six, eight, 10 years later, these terrible ideas become law,” he said.

Remember when SOUTH PARK REPUBLICANS were going to appeal to today’s younger generation by opposing the scourge of POLITICAL CORRECTNESS? Now the only idea is to keep as many young people from voting as possible.
