In the interest of being all fair and balanced and shit, the Democrats have pulled this sort of crap, too, so no illusions there.
Google “Chemtrails debunked”. You’re welcome.
C’mon now. :rolleyes:
What innocent explanation for the Republicans’ actions do you offer that isn’t based on suppressing Democratic turnout? You’ve spent several posts denouncing those who conclude, based on the evidence, that it is, but you offer nothing of your own as an alternative.
Do you have an actual explanation? A few times I’ve asked why voting days were abridged, suggesting budget cuts as a possible explanation. I haven’t seen any confirmation or alternatives offered. Do you have any, or are changes in voting rules one of those random aspects of life, like the weather?
Yes.
The post links to the memo that provides that precise language.
One’s been given. You don’t believe it. I’m not surprised.
Again you raise “voter fraud?”
Why? I asked you for an explanation of why you were imputing this motive to the Ohio folks, and you didn’t provide an answer. They’re not talking about fraud so much as costs, as the memo I linked to indicated.
They curtailed days in Ohio because different counties were providing different days, and they wanted a uniform standard for the state, and the standard had to be one that every county could afford.
You don’t either, admit it.
I don’t know if Bricker understands the concepts of sincerity or honesty – to him, the only related concept may be a legalstic one, e.g. whether perjury can be charged and prosecuted. But I’m going to give him credit here:
I will give Bricker credit and assume that he is lying, uttering things he knows to be untrue. (Though I understand he doesn’t know what I’m talking about: sincerity and honesty have no meaning to him outside a courtroom perjury prosecution.)
I give him this credit because to assume the opposite – that he believes what he writes here – would indeed make him moronically stupid, even stupider than his followers like Shodan and other dunces.
Well, now I’ve seen an alternate explanation, one I had not previously noticed and which happens to explain where “OLEO” came from. I’ll review it, form an opinion of its plausibility.
Yes I did – the OH SoS specifically cited voter fraud as a reason for this action. Did you forget about this?
No idea what this is about. Republican officials have explicitly said (in some cases) that these new voting requirements will help them win elections. Did you read my post?
???
In Ohio?
Or does the action of one Republican in one state automatically apply to all Republicans everywhere?
And does that rule also apply to Democrats?
He did no such thing.
He alluded to voter fraud. He explicitly said, “the legitimate administrative and cost concerns for large, medium and small counties…”
And how do you explain that Democrats also agreed to the days/hours cutting plan?
You already know the answer to this. Those statements in other states just increase my suspicion about the GOP’s motives when altering voting rules. I’ll admit to using some intuition here – like the assumption that politicians are motivated by politics.
Yes he did (and this was posted at least once before). He said: “Our goal is to make it easy to vote and hard to cheat and to ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity in the voting process no matter which method they choose,”
This wasn’t his entire explanation, but it was part of it. So he did do “such thing”.
Those Democrats are wrong.
(1) The word “explicit” means “stated clearly and in detail, leaving no room for confusion or doubt.”
(2) Here he does not EXPLICITLY say that voter fraud is a reason. “Hard to cheat” can refer to any part of the tallying process. He alluded to voter fraud, yes. He did not EXPLICITLY invoke it.
Yes, wrong – but what was their motive? An evil one, or a mistaken one? Do you mean they are morally wrong, or mistaken in their support?
This was a statement he made specifically about why they are making these changes to early voting. If you want to quibble about my use of the word “explicit” then fine, it’s not necessary for my point. He stated that making it “hard to cheat” was part of the reasons for these changes.
I don’t know.
Meaning, I guess, in a convoluted round about way, that no explanation or reasoning by the Republicans will suffice until they give the reasoning and explanation that you have already come to regardless.
A lot of conspiracy theorists do the same thing…
No – maybe there’s something I haven’t thought of. Maybe that last Sunday and Monday voting are way more expensive than other days. Maybe there’s some conflicting event on those days that increases the danger/expense/difficulty of voting.
So they could offer a good explanation. It may be out there – I might be wrong. They just haven’t done so yet, that I know of.
