So it’s not voter fraud when a GOP hired “registrar” tears up the registration forms from democrats, who then find out that they are not registered when they try to vote? Yeah, right. (Note the rare case in the English language in which two positives make a negative!) You could give the GOP credit for terminating that company’s voter registration work when the fraud was uncovered in the press, but it was so blatent that they had no choice.
There are a lot of differences in this upcoming election, but you’ve gotta notice that one side tries to increase the number of Americans voting and the other side makes a huge, expensive effort to decrease the number of Americans voting. Looks like one side doesn’t really believe in democracy.
The ’toon is right on. Of 4 cases of fraud I have known of, all 4 were Republican. One was a member of a county elections board who tried voting twice.
Momsaid- if you’re referring to ACORN, it’s the law that ALL registrations have to be turned in, regardless of party affiliation, or whether it’s Mickey A. Mouse. That’s exactly what ACORN did. Registration is not voting. The fact that Mickey A. Mouse will ever get an ID card, or show up to vote, is exactly zero. If, however, you discard voter registrations of the other party, you are in violation of the law. That’s what the Republican registrars were doing. To claim that the Republicans knew nothing about what was happening is ridiculous. They even asked the company to change their name because of previous improprieties in other elections. Of course, the hypocrisy is pretty ripe here anyway, since it’s the Republicans who have claimed all along about phony registrations. At least the Democrats weren’t throwing away Republican registrations.
The Republicans can’t win on their merits so now they resort to suppressing legit votes. Voter intimidation cannot & will not be tolerated anywhere in the US of A. If someone tries to deny your constitutional right to vote sue them don’t just shrug your shoulders & walk away.
There are no such things as stupid questions, just stupid answers.I may not agree with your politics, but I respect your gumption for asking a question in this forum.
I understand why you might not be familiar with Jim Crow laws :). You would have to be over 70 years old to have been an adult affected by them. Also, I don’t think you’re a Democrat so that also might be a reason. The Democrats had to go kicking and screaming to give up their Jim Crow Laws. The Des are much more intimate with them.
All voter suppresion needs to be severely punished. We also need to give election day the same respect we give Presidents’ day. A nation wide holiday that allows everyone the chance to get off from work and vote. When a caller or store employee asks if there is anything else they can do for me, I tell them..“Don’t forget to vote”. I don’t tell them who to vote for, I don’t have any buttons and except for my MIA/POW t shirt, my wardrobe isn’t political…unless Blues is also a politcal party, in which case…BB KING FOR PRESIDENT!!!

Meanwhile, a judge in PA just put a halt on their new voter suppression law.
People are catching on.

It’s not just voter fraud by the GOP, it’s voter intimidation as well.

And no, righties, ONE Black Panther, standing outside ONE voting place, in ONE precinct does not equate to what True The Vote is up to

Like I’ve said before, the reason the republicans know there is voter fraud is because they are the one’s doing it.

Are you really that out of touch with humanity? I’ve given you way too much benefit of the doubt, up to now.

Go look it up… well, no, wait, please don’t. It may give you ideas. We’re better off with you remaining ignorant.

Jim Crow laws were laws that said only men could vote in a national election.

If Ima was asking a serious question, I think we have an explanation for the general quality of his posts.

It may be true that there are no stupid questions, but there are stupid people.
