We have one and that is the extreme right that now controls the Republican Party (morally right from their perspective). They steamrolled and co-opted the Club for Growth types into their fold.

American Samoans, unique among *everyone* born in US states or territories, are denied US citizenship.
That means they are banned from voting.
That's made some a target of vicious GOP prosecution for fraud; even if they were told incorrect info from public officials.
