Arnold Schwarzenegger to Biden: Create a New Voting Rights Act to Fight ‘Voter Suppression’
Breitbart ^ | December 20 2020 | DAVID NG

Posted on 12/21/2020 12:11:04 AM PST by knighthawk

Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger is urging Joe Biden to create a new “Voting Rights Act,” saying that such a law would help combat “voter suppression.”

The Terminator star said in an interview Saturday with CNN’s Michael Smerconish that he wants the president elect and Congress to work on the new legislation.

“I just recommend very strongly that now when Biden is in office that they go and work on a new Voting Rights Act,” he said. “I think it is irresponsible to not have a Voting Rights Act and to have those polling places closed under the auspices of budgets, under the auspices of coronavirus, and all this stuff. I mean, I think that a lot of times, there are excuses because the fact of the matter is that it’s voter suppression.”

For once I might agree with Ahnold. There should be standards to ensure every legalvote counts.

I wonder if he is in favor of suppressing conservative votes?

Idiot. The problem isn’t suppression, it is TOO much access. It’s illegal aliens voting. It’s the dead voting. It’s ballot harvesting. It’s imaginary people voting and stuffing the box.

Except that’s not what he means at all. Anything that improves election security would be rejected by the Democrats. That’s what they mean by “voter suppression”: the implementation of basic security measures common to advanced countries who want honest elections.

This idea would only be useful in that it would spotlight Democrats’ corruption to the average person under the false impression that they don’t embrace voter fraud.

Does that mean the Democrats won’t be able to sue to get the Green Party kicked off ballots anymore?

How about rights for Americans who had their votes canceled out by illegal ballots?

What Arnold is suggesting is unrestricted voting.

The idea is to make vote fraud widespread and permanent.

People left without COVID-19 tests due to ID verification gaps

“I thought I might have the virus so I tried to get a test,” Emma told openDemocracy.”In the process I learned in order to get a test you have to have a car you are capable of driving, or a credit check company needs to verify your identity.”

The identity verification for the NHS’s contact tracing programme is contracted to TransUnion, a US company who told openDemocracy they are “supporting the NHS response to the current pandemic in its provision of testing kits to those throughout the UK that have shown symptoms of COVID-19.’ Their identity checks on behalf of the NHS ‘help ensure testing kits are sent to the correct recipients and to minimise the risk of fraud.”

The true epitome of how to be a bona fide RINO.

That was my first thought. This guy is about a sharp as a marble. I like his movies, as a Republican he’s too much of a democrat, but then again look where he’s from and who he’s married to.

I think you should read the full article. That appears to be the opposite of his position

My god. You have more voters than are even registered in some places.

What exactly is being suppressed?

Yep. I was in California, when he was Governor. Definitely a RINO.

My sister lives in Kali and claims to be a republican. However to hear her talk you’d swear she’s a rat. She believes in global warming and dislikes Trump to name some of her whackiness.

This isn’t his idea. This was suggested to him because that’s the big push Dems will make in 2021. Wife open access to the ballots with no ability to ever verify a vote again.

My legal vote was suppressed if offset by an illegal vote.
