They will support this as long as the government in place is one that aligns with their own views. That's pretty obvious, right? Given the explicit mention of banning the discussion of voter fraud - something the Democrats have done before, but is now "illegal".
"Democrats are on board" doesn't seem to be substantiated by the article. The actual title is "an idea Democrats have praised," but even that is tenuous - all the article has is the chief revenue officer of the company making this system saying that Democrats and Republicans both have a use for the thing his company is selling, and one analyst at an NGO saying that it fits into previous "Democratic Party rhetoric. But that analyst also cautions, "It's hard to gauge where the Democratic Party is."
There's basically no reason to believe that Democrats currently support this system.
I'm not seeing how this will change or improve anything, but I do see how it will help maintain the status quo for the Dem Party which is nothing more than a shill for Big Corporate power.
I don't expect this kind of thing to happen. The very ideology of democrat's platform is : be generous and kind and help people.
The Democrats in office can barely agree on even basic moves to get public approval, good luck ever getting them to agree on directly harming millions of people just because they don't agree with how they vote.
A lot of people are like you. Myself included. Which is why this topic is a front-and-center part of the democratic strategy for 2020. And if there isn’t a working alternative proposed by Republicans I don’t see much hope for them.
Nope, the narrative has been building for the last two days that this was all perpetrated by fascist white supremacist deplorables... so it is no mystery which side Democrats will pick. Republicans will do the same for more classically stereotypical reasons.
