Republicans Identify their weakness: Americans Who Can Vote!

[Wyatt earp]

Excellent!

Vote on the first Tuesday - period, end of story.

The DNC and RNC both have volunteered to pay the $5 to purchase a state ID.

Where is that in the Constitution? I’ll wait.

It appears negros are so damn slow to vote they need 4 years

Republicans have honed in on the glitch in our democratic system - ordinary Americans having a say in their self-governance!

The former guy had identified the problem when he tried to disenfranchise entire counties that had indulged in a personal betrayal after four years of Trumpery, and he then tried threatening Republican office holders to get them to falsify the tally to fit his desires.

Unfortunately, Republican judges - including Trump-appointees - laughed the former totalitarian solution out of court, and integrity reared its ugly head to kill the latter.

Summoning his goons to attack Congress to prevent its certifying the democratic verdict fizzled as well amidst mayhem and carnage.

In 2021, an obscene level of Americans voted, the security of the elective process acclaimed by cyber-security experts, the Attorney General, and others, and just look the the result! - democracy wreaking havoc with Republican control!

Radically reducing the number of people voting would actually ease the strain on poll workers - fewer ballots to count, and less opportunity for goons to threaten them and their families!

Maybe, the GOP could institute a sudden "flash mob" approach to elections - time and place only confided to the "right people."

In any event, it'll be fun watching them contrive pretexts to impair the ability of an American to exercise her civic duty.

My county had about 10 polling locations prior to COVID, one of which was a three minute drive from my house. Then my Democratic Government shut down 8 of them, and I had to drive 20 minutes.

Many communities were short-staffed for election poll workers, since, you know, they’re usually retirees who didn’t want to die yet, despite the pleas for them to self-sacrifice their lives, from the Texas AG.

When you are understaffed, you concentrate your resources.

And no doubt there was a shortage of police to stand around all day, because idiot Trumpers would try to vote without masks.

Let me know of any other simple things to figure out that you need help with.

You don't know shit about my county, boy. We're not retarded leftists who need their hands held.

Meanwhile, it says a lot about you that you believe armed police are the proper response to people not wearing masks.

It says a lot -- and none of it complimentary.

There's no glitch. The system is specifically designed to ensure that lobbyists and corporations decide how things are governed, not ordinary citizens.

You can vote however you like, but you might as well be sliding your ballot into a paper shredder.

Republican-led legislatures in dozens of states are moving to change election laws in ways that could make it harder to vote...​

​

43 states — including key swing states — are considering 253 bills that would raise barriers to voting, for example by reducing early voting days or limiting access to voting by mail... Republicans have made a priority of new security requirements and shorter voting periods...​

​

In Georgia, which President Biden won by nearly 12,000 votes, legislators are considering multiple bills to restrict voting...​

​

That controversy had no basis in fact. Audits and recounts confirmed the accuracy of the vote count in Georgia, and lawsuits there and in other states by the Trump campaign and allies failed to show otherwise. But Trump sought to discredit the vote, and even asked Georgia's secretary of state to change the vote totals. Now Georgia lawmakers are moving to repair a system that was not shown to be broken...​

​

The bill also puts new limits on weekend early voting, which would complicate efforts to allow voting on a Sunday just before the election. "Sunday voting," says Fowler, "is when Black churches in Georgia typically host a 'Souls to the Polls' event and where we statistically see the highest Black turnout during early voting."..​

​

Even as Trump was attempting to overturn the election last year, his allies said they would use his false claims to shape future elections. "Mail-in balloting is a nightmare for us," Sen. Lindsey Graham told Fox News on Nov. 8, referring to a form of voting that had been used securely with little controversy for years, but was used more often by Democrats in 2020. Graham said that without changes, "we're never going to win again presidentially."...​

​

Georgia's repeated audits and recounts found two absentee ballots cast by dead people, out of 1.3 million absentee ballots and a total of about 5 million votes cast in Georgia.​

​

Some conservatives fear that attacking elections is the point of these proposed voting law changes.​

​

"Rather than celebrate the massive voter turnout that we saw, they want to dial that back," said Charlie Sykes, a writer and conservative talk show host. He left the Republican party, and was ostracized, after he criticized Trump.​

​

Sykes said his former Republican allies "see the country slipping away from them" through demographic change. He sees some of them embracing alternatives to democracy, including "anti-democratic authoritarianism."​

August 30, 2012
​

Led by loyalists who embrace former President Donald J. Trump’s baseless claims of a stolen election, Republicans in state legislatures nationwide are mounting extraordinary efforts to change the rules of voting and representation — and enhance their own political clout.​

​

At the top of those efforts is a slew of bills raising new barriers to casting votes, particularly the mail ballots that Democrats flocked to in the 2020 election. But other measures go well beyond that, including tweaking Electoral College and judicial election rules for the benefit of Republicans; clamping down on citizen-led ballot initiatives; and outlawing private donations that provide resources for administering elections, which were crucial to the smooth November vote.​

And although the decennial redrawing of political maps has been pushed to the fall because of delays in delivering 2020 census totals, there are already signs of an aggressive drive to further gerrymander political districts, particularly in states under complete Republican control.​

If mail-in balloting is a good idea, then how come most of Europe either doesn't allow it or heavily restricts it, specifically due to concerns of fraud?

 

[schmidlap]

Cynicism is naive? That's a new one.

A consuming mindless cynicism is the ultimate naïvité in that it renders one a clueless innocent to be preyed upon by self-promoting liars. An abandonment of critical, objective thinking resulted in defenseless vulnerability.

If mail-in balloting is a good idea, then how come most of Europe either doesn't allow it or heavily restricts it, specifically due to concerns of fraud?

If you wish to emulate European models such as less costly universal healthcare and the abandonment of surrendering to the State the right to kill people in cold blood, goodo on you! As for mail in ballots, you may have inadvertently swallowed another of the former guy's blatant lies. Currently, 14 countries in Europe provide in-country postal voting opportunities to voters. In eight of these countries, all voters are eligible, and in six only voters in certain outlined categories may vote.

Just a glitch of course ...
Judge Orders New Election After 78 Percent of Mail-In Ballots Found Invalid, Notary Arrested
...
A Mississippi judge ordered a new runoff election for a local election in Aberdeen after more than three-quarters of absentee ballots cast in the June Democratic runoff election were found to be invalid, while a notary involved in the election was arrested.

Judge Jeff Weill, in a 64-page order, said that there is evidence of fraud and criminal activity in how absentee ballots were handled, how they were counted, and actions from individuals at polling places during the runoff election held in Aberdeen, Mississippi. As a result, a new runoff election for the Ward 1 alderman seat is necessary, reported WCBI.

The judge ruled that 66 of 84 absentee ballots that were cast in the election, or around 78 percent, should have never been counted, according to WCBI. Nicholas Holliday was declared the winner of the alderman seat by 37 votes, while challenger Robert Devaull contested the results in court.

“The court is of the opinion there is probable cause that several individuals involved in the disturbances during election day at the polling precinct ‘willfully and corruptly violated’ one or more of the above criminal statutes,” according to the judge.
