Republican Voter Suppression Omnibus Thread

While I do not believe there was any "widespread" voter fraud going on, I don't believe this is a good idea. The people should have the right to vote, but also have the right to petition the government if they feel something is amiss. This sends a message to "don't even try it". Lindell is a fucking nutcase, but as a US citizen, he has the right to ask for an investigation.

I agree with this. The voting process should be continually checked and the people should be able to audit it.

We have done that and rechecked it and yes Biden won. Winning the election is not stealing it even though the losers may feel like they have had their leadership role stolen from them.

As they are fond of telling me just because I feel like a girl does not mean I am physically female. Just because they feel trump should have won and be the president does not mean he got enough votes. He just physically didn't. I guess I now have a metric to compare feelings with the right. I feel like I am a girl like they feel that trump is president.

He should stay the fuck out of Idaho. Let me repeat, Trump won by 31 fucking points statewide. The alleged "fraud" of electronic ballots being switched could not have happened because in a lot of those counties they use paper ballots. Legitimate concerns should always be addressed and should be a cost of government. Frivilous suits that are obviously without any possible merit, stirred up by out of staters to suit some crackpot agenda should come with a price tag...sorry I'm cranky this morning for some reason...

I was not disagreeing on the pointlessness and frivolity of the lawsuit. A judge should have shut that nonsense down from the get-go. It should not have been in the "audit" realm. But, by allowing the frivolity to proceed, then insisting the funds be repaid, sends the wrong message. The first judge or whoever approved this in the first place should be getting the bill.

Judge orders release of records from Wisconsin election investigation

The gerrymandering hastens the downfall. Ohio is slowly and surely being overrun by Republicans. Funny how that hasn’t resulted in positive economic outcomes. But look at Texas! the defenders of Republicanomics shout. Anybody notice how much talent in Texas is being imported from California and the Northeast?

I wish I could remember the podcast but one of the election experts said that while voter suppression is obviously bad, we’ve had it for most of our history so it is survival.

But that the straight up voter subversion (meaning just not counting votes or having partisan legislators pick a winner) is something we haven’t dealt with and could be a democracy ender.

Our entire government is based on lies. Our voices are not only not heard, but not even given a first thought, let alone a second. Teachers need to stop repeating the lie.

Yeah, women never got the vote, and slavery never ended, cuz the people just aren't heard.

Do you even attempt to follow a conversation? or do you just see a sentence and pounce without any understanding of what came before it?

*Rechecks Anc's post*
Yeah, there's no context there that nullifies what I said.
I think I followed everything just fine.

Yea. Ok.

Someone needs to request DeSantis' call logs and see if the University of Florida Dean's Office is there lately:

I'm usually nice to Mormon missionaries and don't answer the door for Jehova's Witnesses (if I recognize them). If these assholes start coming around Boise, I might take a different tack.

At the point a stranger who does not identify themselves shows up at my door asking questions about my political affiliation, is where I get a gun. The next time they show up would be where I ask them to leave my property while holding the gun on them.

This is not for the police who identify themselves, or even down to some religious people who I just turn away. When you come around like that there is no good that comes with it.

Really?

Probably not. I would probably just settle for the machete I have.

I'd tell them I was part of an organized effort to steal the state for Trump. That I personally submitted 10,000 fraudulent ballots across the state, that I coordinated with the Trump campaign in Florida, Ohio, and North Carolina to steal those states too, and that I'm pissed off that the Trump campaign hasn't paid me. When they ask why Utah, I'll point to a map and say "look at the all the states around. Blue. Had to save one in the West." Watch their heads explode. Refuse to sign anything "until Trump pays me."

In today's edition of "What they accuse the Democrats of doing, is what they themselves are up to"...

What you’re seeing in Georgia is what was predicted. Local election officials aligned with the Democratic Party (often Black) are being kicked off boards and replaced with MAGA supporters (often white men).

I was ready to write Georgia off for the next generation because of this voter suppression but then Trump had to open his fat mouth and endorse David Perdue. That slim chance now exists that Stacy Abrams can be Georgia’s next governor. She’d be an actual leader and not a political tool.
