Robert Mulder: A totalitarian state
Regarding the Aug. 18 news article “ ‘Party line changes’ urged to limit early voting hours”: That memo by N.C. GOP executive director Dallas Woodhouse urging support for local elections boards to restrict access to early voting is very telling.
It’s obvious that the N.C. GOP is taking a few pages from the old Soviet and Chinese playbooks on how to win elections.
When I became a citizen of this country, I understood that we were a representative republic. It looks like we have a few folks who would like us to be a totalitarian state instead.
