The right to vote is undoubtedly the cornerstone fundamental right that enables a democracy to function in a manner worthy of the title. The ability to exercise that right provides citizens with a sense of freedom that is critical to maintaining our democracy's stability.

The Baltimore Sun points out that this fundamental right is under attack. Not by outsiders, but by people who no doubt claim they love America. In key battleground states disinformation and intimidation campaigns are underway to discourage voter participation. People are being lied to about their ability to vote and no doubt some of this will work keeping some citizens away from the polls. Unfortunately this is not new.

These schemes are simply a disgrace and in my view treasonous. To actively work against people voting is to work against democracy, the very foundation of our nation. Undermining the American system should not be tolerated by anyone under any circumstances. There are plenty of enemies abroad looking to take down our way of life, we don't need aiders and abetters right here in our midst. Law enforcement should crack down hard on this fraud and crack down fast.

Alternatively, citizens observing this behavior should do what ever it takes to stop it.
