Translation: We demand our right to commit voter fraud.

New voting laws apply equally to both parties, so his partisan whining is total bullshit.

"We must say HELL NO to those who want to rig our elections" - Sen Merkley

 

[wamose]

This voter fraud law is right up there with "we have to pass it to see what's in it" and "we have to pass comprehensive immigration reform so we can secure our border". Their conclusions are all bogus and, in the end, they're all totally about empowering the Marxist Democrat party.

Merkley uses a quote from this article:

On how Georgia's new restrictive voting laws impact ballot drop boxes:

“They are no longer useful,” Cobb Elections Director Janine Eveler said. “The limited numbers mean you cannot deploy them in significant numbers to reach the voting population.”

Drop box use heavy in Democratic areas before Georgia voting law

Ballot drop boxes saw heavy use in mostly Democratic metro Atlanta counties during the 2020 Georgia elections, far more than in rural Republican areas of Georgia, according to analysis of handwritten local election records by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Georgia Public Broadcasting

Montana Republicans took away same day voter registration because they believe it will help them win more elections, Merkley notes

"it is wrong, unethical"

You've phrased that wrong: You demand your right to commit voter suppression. You have no platform, you have no agenda, other than to retain power, and you've destroyed the American economy every time you get in office.

Democrats don't need to commit "voter fraud" to win. They need only open the polls all citizens. When the people are given access to the polls, Democrats win. Republicans are incapable of running anything effectively or efficiently.

The new voting laws apply equally to both parties???? Are they closing polling stations in Republican districts? Locating polling stations to areas not serviced by transit in Republican districts? Shortening the hours to vote?

Southern U.S. states have closed 1,200 polling places in recent years: rights group

States across the American South have closed nearly 1,200 polling places since the Supreme Court weakened a landmark voting-discrimination law in 2013, according to a report released by a civil-rights group on Tuesday.

There is no "voter suppression".
State voting laws apply equally to both parties.
The hours to vote apply equally top both parties, unless you want to "Vote Early - Vote Often"

If there was any cause for a real insurrection to kick-off then dem passage of their voting rights manipulation bill should be it.

Without election theft, there is no democrat party anymore.

Literally.

"We must say HELL NO to those who want to rig our elections" - Sen Merkley

I agree and that includes Jeff Merkley.
His view of what's "restrictive" is not letting democrat votes game elections like they did in 2020.

He's a jackass and I'm happy I get to vote against clowns like Merkley.
