Democracies embrace high voter turnout, not try to prevent it. Meet Cleta Mitchell. She's a top GOP attorney, who spoke last week at a Republican National Committee retreat. Mitchell told Republicans at the retreat that they need to 'combat' efforts being made to get college kids to vote. She is mad that it's easy for college kids to vote. “We need to be looking at, what are these college campus locations and polling. What is this young-people effort that they do? They basically put the polling place next to the student dorms, so they just have to roll out of bed, vote, and go back to bed,” she told them. “Wisconsin is a big problem because of the polling locations on college campuses. There are 501(c)(3)s. Their goal for the Supreme Court race was to turn out 240,000 college students in that Supreme Court race. And we don’t have anything like that, and we need to figure out how to do that and combat that,” she continued. Note that this is the same woman who took part in the January 2021 call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, where Trump asked Raffensperger to “find” 11,000 more votes for him in the state.
