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.
Orwellian doublespeak from the Democrats again.
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”.
“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.
“…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!
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.
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.
At some point voting is going to have to fall under intrastate commerce and become standardized. The broad spectrum of different state’s rules on voting are becoming more and more varied to the point of disenfranchising one state’s voters and changing the needs of the overall country.
If it is just their state, then it isn’t quite as important to consider the next state. But more and more the changes in state voting qualification are becoming a political process for agenda and not for the opportunity to be a part of the deciding factor in an honest manner. At some point, an amendment will have to be put into the Constitution to gain back the intent of the process.
