If our president was chosen by the popular vote, No Republican would have resided in the White House since George H. W. Bush; more than 25 years ago. Republicans are desperate to suppress voter turnout and give themselves an opportunity to win elections.

In New Hampshire, Republicans passed legislation which would disenfranchise college students. Current New Hampshire law allows any individual with a ‘domicile’ to vote. Republicans voted to require students to be ‘legal residents.’ They will be required to obtain a New Hampshire Driver’s License, and register their vehicles in the state. A license costs $50, and registration is even higher.

Revisions in the state senate required the bill to return to the House. Although Republican Governor, John Sununu, claims to be against the bill, he has not promised to veto the legislation. If passed, this law would result in multiple lawsuits against the state.

Here are facts that you should know. First is my previous revelation that Democrats have won the popular vote for more than 25 years, with the exception of George W. Bush’s second term. John Kerry suffered a narrow loss. If Bush had not been given the election in 2000, there would have been no second term. Secondly, in every election, a large turnout guarantees a Democratic victory. Trump’s Electoral College win was the result of very small victories in three states; Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. A total of 77,000 votes changed the outcome, and although Hillary crushed Trump in the popular vote by nearly three million ballots, Trump was gifted the election. If just a few more million voters had gone to the polls, it is likely that Hillary would have won the Electoral College as well; regardless of Russian interference which likely influenced the low turnout.

Here’s the lesson. Every patriotic American must go to the polls on November 6, 2018. A record voter turnout will remove all power from Trump by returning control of the House and Senate to Democrats. Trump’s vile presidency will become ineffective. This is a perfect example of why our founding fathers gave the most power to the legislative branch; they feared that a president might attempt to make his or herself an autocrat; like Trump is attempting today.

I beg of you, take your country back; VOTE. Please re-post; thank you.
