Republicans better wise up. If the Democrats can use these laws to their advantage so can Republicans. We can beat them at their own game. The game isn’t voter turn out. It’s vote collecting and counting.
When the entire game becomes about which side can outfraud the other..... this country is finished.
Orwellian doublespeak from the Democrats again.
...while Michigan’s secretary of state is preparing a plan.
IOW, no, they're not. They're going to impose stronger measures to ensure elections can easily be stolen. Naturally, the Ass-Press shill regurg's DNC talking points in The Party's latest PR offensive.
They are trying to provide solutions without problems. When Democrats talk about voting reform, they’re really talking about institutional voting fraud. Every word and gesture they make is about power, and nothing else.
They are welding the door shut as predicted. In Mi they shoved through a ballot initiative that made it so any legal challenge to an election has to originate from those who ran the election
They have to protect their mail order “ballots”.
While that is true, the only way to get ballot harvesting banned is to do it back - harder.
would be a shame if Republicans fought fire with fire instead of just bending over
“Bolster voter protections” - code for baking in fraud regarding election laws. Sure, it may be “legal”, but it definitely is not right.
What is assured are the virtues of ballot harvesting, and of extending and expanding the vote franchise to those who have, for one reason or another, never before were eligible to vote, on the basis of citizenship, or lost the eligibility to vote, as a convicted felon. Also, the power to control the vote is shifted to the state level, and the local level loses much of the autonomy they once had.
It’s not out frauding. We can disagree with the laws, but we lack the legislatures, governors and conservative judges to do anything about it. It’s either beat them at their own game so we can put in place our laws or we can accept defeat. But you are almost right, America IS finished.
“…require state approval for local governments to change voting procedures”
But it was perfectly fine for the same states to do that at the state level in contravention of both state laws and state constitutions. Sounds like the state criminals don’t want any local interference.
I recall when Democrats were screaming that photo ID was “voter suppression”. Then blacks started asking: How stupid and lazy do you think we are? Then The polling data came out and blacks overwhelmingly said that photo was not suppression. Suddenly the Democrats were channeling Emily Latella: NEVERMIND!
This country is indeed finished.
The question now is what comes afterwards and who will run it. That question will not be answered by "elections".
True democrats do not win elections the buy them.
Democrats are relentless in keeping and strengthening their methods of vote fraud. The news media provides the cover.
What comes after is going to probably look alot like Rhodesia in the 1980’s except a lot worse.
Having said that, what happens when a formerly 1st world country with the 2nd largest nuclear aresenol in the world and 92 nuclear power plants suddenly turns 3rd world immigrant majority?
Dems want all the voters they can acquire to make it easier to Socialize the Country.
And that's a problem. 'Ban voter suppression ...' instead of 'be able to read and write English in script' so you can read the rules of our US Constitution' as a requirement to immigrate and vote. NO Foreign Languages on ballots!
Voters with disabilities should be able to be reimbursed for cab fare or call a state-run transportation to the polls.
