Next year the Democrats will say that they will impeach President Trump if he is reelected. They will be trying to suppress Trump supporter turn-out to win the election. They did the same thing to President George H.W. Bush in 1991 and they beat him.
Republican voter suppression of Democratic voters is constant and ongoing. Last year, for example, the five Republican judge majority on the U.S. Supreme Court in Husted v. A. Philip Randolph Institute upheld an Ohio law purging from the voter rolls persons who had not voted for six years, unless they re-registered. In her dissent in Husted Justice Sotomayor explained the law was voter suppression plain and simple and cited documentation that it disproportionately disenfranchised, among others, minority voters.
The state made three attempts to contact absent voters. They provided a return addressed envelope and phone number. If the person contacted didn't respond after all three attempts, they took them off the voter rolls for obvious reasons such as death, illness that prevented them from voting, moving to another part of the state or out of the state altogether.
There is no other way to purge voters from the rolls.
Sotomayor demonstrated how that is voter supression.
2020 might be decided by voter suppression.
not Impeaching is more risky than impeaching, considering this suppression, along with russian influence in 2020
Well this article didn't say anything of the sorts. It was a leftist piece on how Republicans are cheating again, so thanks for wasting my time.
How is it voter suppression when people who haven't voted in six years probably didn't bother for the seventh if they were alive and still in the state? You mean after receiving several notices, ignoring every one of them, now they all of a sudden decided to start voting again?
Your article was pure partisan unproven speculation. Democrats simply want to keep as many options open for people who are willing to fraudulently vote.
There is more, a
whole smorgasbord of suppression, as detailed here.
but,
Even with voter suppression, Democrats have the potential to blow Republicans out of the water, if they can just get their potential voters to the polls.
The Republicans' demographic is shrinking, not growing. Even with working class Trump voters, they're already at their ceiling. Meanwhile, kids are turning 18 every day, and the majority are showing that they're more liberal than their parents.
Beto won 71% of voters aged 18-29 in Texas, for example. 71%!
