I'm concerned about our (progressive's) complacency.

[Lisa558]

No, but I'm going to side with citizens and the Constitution.

I also made no claims, I can not back up. I quoted the official stating that some likely are citizens but they were going to boot them anyway.

You are NOT siding with citizens. Every illegal vote you are pushing to risk allowing takes away the vote of an honest citizen whose eligibility is not in question.

VA is close. If it comes down to a difference of 1600 votes, then the provisional ballots will be counted toward the decision - IF it turns out they were eligible to vote.

Supreme Court Allows Virginia Plan To Purge Supposed Non-Citizens To Go Forward

In a win for Republicans trying to perpetuate the myth that non-citizens will vote en masse for Democrats, the Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed a voter purge program in Virginia to move forward only days before the presidential election.

The justices blocked a lower court ruling that found the purge program was a direct violation of a National Voter Registration Act provision that, the court found, would prevent the purge so close to the election.

Wednesday’s brief Supreme Court order noted that all three liberal justices dissented.

Although Wednesday’s decision — which allows for the removal of close to 1,600 voters from the voter rolls — is not a ruling on the future of the program, it will likely disenfranchise eligible voters in the state. Experts and the plaintiffs in the suit have argued that the list of roughly 1,600 almost certainly contains people who are citizens, and Virginia officials have not been able to muster evidence to contradict that point.

More broadly, the decision gives breathing room to false Republican talking points that non-citizens are voting en masse on behalf of Democrats this cycle.

"It's a small thing in the big picture. Small in the sense it only affects about 1,600 voters."

Actually, I find that kind of thinking troubling for a number of reasons. Primarily, for the way the conservatives obtained a majority of seats on the SC bench. McTreason's (who was only the Senate leader because of the disproportionate over representation of red states in the Senate) unprecedented treachery and trump winning the presidency with a minority of popular votes.

If Dem's were ruling while in the minority you can bet Repub's would have mobilized in ways Dem's do not. Repub's launched a plan to impose their views on abortion on the majority 30 years ago and look where we are now. Women are dying because they can't get reproductive healthcare.

Is there a effort happening right now to get rid of the antiquated way we elect the prez? Yes. https://act.commoncause.org/petitio...MI0MOw9NO4iQMVtA2tBh2QSiNhEAAYASAAEgJSO_D_BwE
Is it getting the all out support from Dem's it requires? No.

As surreal as it seems, a convicted felon who was found financially liable for sexual abuse (rape by federal statute) and tried to illegally install himself as prez may be on the cusp of being returned to the WH. If that doesn't motivate Dem's to do everything we can to change the system to reflect the will of the majority then the country will suffer the consequences for decades to come.

What do you expect? You're progressives. You expect other people to do the work for you.

You are NOT siding with citizens. Every illegal vote you are pushing to risk allowing takes away the vote of an honest citizen whose eligibility is not in question.

I fully support the state in investigating every one of those.

Making people jump through additional hoops as opposed to the state actually doing their job to verify.

 

[Lesh]

Any non-citizen who votes negates the vote of a citizen. Why should we give the benefit of the doubt to someone who SAID he was a non-citizen over someone who is?

The decision was correct, although as expected the three libs put the interests of foreigners ahead of Americans.

That’s not what’s happening. The Supreme Court ruled against federal election laws. Voter purges are not supposed to happen within 90 days of an election.

 

[hadit]

A Constitutional amendment to eliminate the EC would never pass, no matter how appropriate and warranted.

You make it sound like that's a bad thing.

 

[Lisa558]

And if you DO NOT make them “jump through hoops” because they claimed they were non-citizens and just risk them voting anyway with no additional checks (provisional ballot), you are negating the vote of one citizen for every foreigner who correctly said they were not citizens, and then allowed to vote anyway.

The SCOTUS sided with the “definitely” citizens instead of the “possibly” citizens who carelessly said they weren’t.

This says it all: non-citizens.. people who's names never should have appeared on the voter rolls.

If you think the complacency is bad now, wait till after 4 years of Imbecile Harris.

 

[22lcidw]

I think it's going to take more than voting. We need systemic change such that the majority's will prevails.

If a party is leading a voting bloc by propaganda and brainwashing what does that majority mean? Progressives have won their agendas from the last party social change in the 1960's. The nation is struggling to move to another. And the old, that is the progs are resisting a move to common sense before we destroy ourselves.

How is having to cast a provisional ballot and showing proof of citizenship an additional hoop?

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

I've seen a LOT of stuff online where Dems are all but assuming they're going to win.

I don't know what they're seeing, but don't get it.

I'm seeing signs that favor both sides, so I don't really know how to call it anymore. I won't be shocked either way, nor will I really care honestly. I don't need politicians to succeed.

 

[Mac1958]

Yep. I'm just looking forward to it being over. As usual.

Yep. My life changes very little based upon who is president.

I do understand that might not be the case for all but...........

 

[berg80]

So why give the few people who MIGHT ahave carelessly checked the wrong box saying they were non-citizens over the people who checked the correct the box?

IOW, why priotiize the vote of the careless person over the responsible person? The careless person can cast a provisional vote. In the meantime, we are stopping non-citizens from voting.

Just like you people prioritize ilelgals over citizens, terrorists over Jews, criminals over law-abiders. You people always defend the wrong people.

1. Does Section 8 impose any time restrictions on States as to when a general list maintenance program can be conducted?
   Yes. Section 8 requires States to complete any program the purpose of which is to systematically remove the names of ineligible voters from the official list of eligible voters not later than 90 days prior to the date of a primary election or general election for federal office. This 90 day deadline applies to state list maintenance verification activities such as general mailings and door to door canvasses. This 90 day deadline does not, however, preclude removal of names at the request of the registrant, removal due to death of the registrant, removal due to criminal conviction or mental incapacity of the registrant as provided by State law, nor does the deadline preclude correction of a registrant’s information.

What do you expect? You're progressives. You expect other people to do the work for you.

Part of progressive's apathy stems from the belief Repub's could not possibly be as devious and ruthless as they have proven to be in imposing their will on the majority. It's time to wake up and realize Repub's lust for power, and willingness to do anything to obtain it (like trying to steal a presidential election), knows no bounds.

 

[sartre play]

Care not if you are a Democrat or a Republican.
IF you cheat to win
you have made it legal for cheaters to win.
And that is a bad thing for AMERICA.

The law trump's court ignored could not be more clear. Once again showing the conservative's priority of the Repub agenda over established statute.

You should be more concerned about your demise.

• Blacks are switch to Trump by the truckload.
• Hispanics and Latinos are for Trump.
• The richest man on the planet will be on Trump's cabinet eliminating all wasteful leftwing government agencies.
• Two democrat presidential candidates are backing Trump, sick of the villainous left.
• Trump will be slamming the border shut to illegal immigration.
• He will be chucking every illegal out the door.
• He will be ridding every federal agency of leftwing scum.
• He will be overturning education to put decency and morality back in schools instead of queer books, drag-queens, and transgender operations.
• He will be putting a stop to both needless wars on the planet.
• He is going to cut energy costs in half by end of year one.
• He will be locking up every crook in Washington.
• He will be bringing back integrity and efficiency to government.
• He will be putting America first.

How refreshing.

trump's SC has not gone so far as to make electoral cheating legal...........yet. But it has prevented illegality by the prez from being prosecuted. The latter being a very bad thing for America.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

What I care about is trump's court ignoring the black letter law of the National Voter Registration Act because it may advantage Repub's.

The SC has become an arm of the POT.

Nope. Where does it say non citizens are allowed to vote?
