GOP Voter Suppression Worked, Voter Turnout Lowest Since 1940

You almost gotta laugh. Former A.G. Holder refused to prosecute armed uniformed Black Panther members intimidating voters and the left wants to talk about "voter suppression". Is it about a photo I.D.? You need one to enter a freaking federal building, get on a plane, buy a sixpack of beer, get a bank account, receive food stamps, rent an apartment and engage in just about everything else in the modern world. Does the Obama voting base live in their parent's basements?
 
It's all good Truthseeker420

Midterms are for scared old people. And every midterm election we have a more liberal group of old people. So the scared old people who reelected Mitch McConnel for the umpteenth time yesterday are FAR more liberal than the scared old people who voted for him over 10 years ago. So he'll have to adjust! And that's called progress!

So in the end the good guys win :thup:

Yeah I don't have a big problem with Mitch McConnel, but this is a long term fight and a lot bigger than one election cycle.

Every conservative in good standing believes that democracy is 'mob rule'.

What's a better way to avoid that than to suppress the mob's right to vote?

Dead people don't have a right to vote. They forfeit that right once they kick the bucket.

You're a slave to the rightwing propaganda machine. Learn to think for yourself.

Shut up Nigga.

You are projecting.

Another sore winner. You people aren't conservatives, you're parodies of conservatives.

LOL.

Nigga please.

You lost, let it go.
 
According to the Elect Project we had record low turnout. So…shaming people into voting didn’t work this time. If only we’d received more emails from the DCCC….Lowest was in Indiana which saw 36% turnout and the highest was in Maine with 59.3% turnout. We had the worst turnout since the 1940’s, and that was at a time when a good portion of the population was off fighting in World War II!

We Had The Lowest Voter Turnout Since 1940 s

I expect a new round of voter suppression laws close to the 2016 election. And we have the nerve to criticize Russia's election results.

Don't worry. The Democrat vote will come out in 2016, and the GOP has 25 Senate seats to defend.

I lost? Then why are you the one crying about it?
 
Republicans came out. Conservatives came out. Tea Partiers came out.

And we know damn well Democrats in Maryland, Massachusettes and Illinois came out.

Not Republicans fault that your Dems put in three GOP Governors in three blue states.

Not Republicans fault that the Democrat's base don't have a warm and fuzzy about their candidates.
 
The Republican bench is now even deeper especially when compared to the shallow bench of the Democrats who can only point to a woman who rode to power by marrying a politician and then trading on his fame. She can't point to her own competency or accomplishments only to her name recognition.

Meanwhile the Republicans in Governors office and state houses are developing their talents. Having a deeper bench allows more opportunity for talent to develop. This should hold Republicans steady for a few more election cycles as they continue to eat away at the white voting base of the Democrats and capture the blacks and Hispanics who see themselves as being winners in life.
 
The Washington Post:

Republican gains extended to state legislative chambers as well. Before Election Day, the GOP controlled 59 of 98 partisan legislative chambers across the country. On Tuesday, preliminary results showed Republicans had won control of both the Nevada Assembly and Senate, the Minnesota House, the New Mexico House, the Maine House, the West Virginia House and the New Hampshire House.

That would give the party control of 66 chambers, four more than their previous record in the modern era, set after special elections in 2011 and 2012.

It also would give Republicans total control of 24 states, in which they hold the governor’s mansion and both chambers of the state legislature (Nebraska’s unicameral legislature is technically nonpartisan, but in practice Republicans control the chamber by a wide margin). Democrats, by contrast, are likely to control all three legs of the governing stool in only six states.

Many Republican majorities got bigger on Tuesday night. By the early morning hours on Wednesday, Republicans claimed supermajority status in 16 legislative chambers. Republicans won four lieutenant governorships previously held by Democrats — in Arkansas, Illinois, Maryland and Massachusetts.

So Democrats, what happened to that Hispanic wave which was going to steadily erode Republican fortunes?

It's Republicans' fault that the black voters that turned out in mass for Obama didn't have the same enthusiasm for a bunch of their white candidates in a mid-term election?

Typical progressive *****, ALWAYS blame others for their own ineptitude and shortcomings.
 
I'm not normally into the whole conspiracy stuff but this one I have to share I know it will sound really wild but try to keep an open mind after you see it here goes. The conspiracy goes that the low voter turn out may very well have been the result of a President with low approval ratings and the that the policies put in place by the President and has party did next to nothing for the country.

Interesting that where the people live you don't have control? You've sure got the flyover and KKK lands locked up however. Congrats.
