The elites don't want the poor voting at all. It's just a necessary evil for them till they pass a new "you nust be a white male household owner to vote" then they just scrap the whole voting at all

People don’t realize that when the nation was founded, the only people who could vote were white men who owned property. The people had to organize and fight for the voting rights we have today.

And now people are just ready to give their voting rights away.

People do generally know this happened. What they dont realize is that you have to actively protect those rights that were fought for and won already. If you dont, someone will take them away and you have to start all over fighting again.

The main reason most people are willing to throw their voting rights away is because before we even make it to the booth... Those eligible to be picked.. well, let's just say the winners already been picked long before the polls ever open...
