'Dangerous to Democracy': Colin Allred Slams GOP Lawmaker's 'Quality of Votes' Comments On 3/13/21 at 1:51 PM EST Comments about the weighing the "quality of votes" in elections from an Arizona Republican state lawmaker are "dangerous to democracy," according to Congressman Colin Allred (D-TX). In an interview with CNN, Arizona State Representative John Kavanagh of Fountain Hills said: "Not everybody wants to vote, and if somebody is uninterested in voting, that probably means that they're totally uninformed on the issues. Quantity is important, but we have to look at the quality of votes, as well." Allred, a former voting rights lawyer, responded to Kavanagh's comments on MSNBC on Friday. He said voting is a "right," no matter if someone is informed, and it's not up to an individual to determine whose votes value the most.
