I Pit the ID-demanding GOP vote-suppressors (Part 1)

Actual I.D. demanding GOP vote suppression attempted by Trumpettes.

This is how its done. How many years now has it been, that you see news photos of people waiting for hours to vote. What is the color breakdown of those lines?

Suppose you were to come forward with a proposal to ensure at least a rough equality in voting machine availability. Anyone want to guess which political party would oppose it?

*Some *Republicans *may *have partisan motives, so it has been admitted here.

Fox’s Bill Hemmer Calls It ‘Good News’ That White Vote Is Up, Black Vote Down In Ohio

So, maybe.

Actual voter fraud!
In Iowa. For whom did the voter in question fraudulently vote? Donald Trump.
That’s two, two, two votes for Trump. I wonder, do they eliminate one as fraudulent, and count one as valid?

As I said over in the stretch run thread, this illustrates why these people believe in voter fraud. They think that it’s possible to just walk in any polling place and cast a vote. This woman is finding out the hard way that it isn’t that simple.

She’s a self-styled “Deplorable” and she was fired from her job for calling her co-worker a “ni**er”. Yeah.

Words have meaning, Donald.

When are you Marxists, atheists, queer-lovers and proponents of public financing for fine arts finally going to stop grinding the same axe? The Board’s very own Constitutional Esquire has patiently explained, over and over and over, that vote suppression improves our confidence in election integrity. The students who turned away rather than waiting in the rain for 12 hours either
[ul][li] Don’t really care after all whether a homophobe or baby-killer is elected and deserve whatever vile government they get. Had they cared they would have waited in the rain for 12 hours, or even 120 hours. Did the Marines on Iwo Jima turn around when it started to drizzle?[/li]OR
[li] Should be proud for the hours they did sacrifice before learning that their votes just weren’t wanted. We should applaud sacrifices like theirs which make our democracy strong: by allowing their votes to be suppressed they improved Americans’ confidence in the electoral system.[/li][/ul]
These two reasons may seem slightly contradictory. I too am confused by this — let’s wait for our Constitutional Esquire to show up and set us straight. Brickhead?

If enough voters turn away in Ohio and Pennsylvania, they may become, collectively, Time’s Man of the Year! With enough young voters turned away, confidence in the election will be so improved that Donald J. Trump, darling of 70% of America’s uneducated white males, will become the Most Powerful Human on the Planet. Bravo!

Fair and balanced, with not a hint of “agenda” :smiley:

And now Trump is suggesting that his other followers follow her example.:smack:

To be ruthlessly fair to the undeserving…

He said go and check in, fill out another ballot that would cancel your previous ballot, so there would only be one vote, but you would be sure of that one. He did go on to suggest that the other guys are voting illegally several times over, but he did not actually approve.

Don’t make me do this again, tequila and bongwater is expensive.

He also said to do that in a state where it’s explicitly prohibited to do so. So it’s more of a “He’s advocating voter fraud” or “He’s a complete imbecile”.

Both are equally likely.

Oh, really? Well, in that case I rescind my defense! Feel much better now, thanks!

Here’s a good article on Republican voter suppression. In some cases, the Repugnants are able to strike voters from the rolls because of the recent decision by Scalia and the Other Nasties. Wisconsin has denied thousands of Blacks the right to vote, often demanding birth certificates from blacks when all other documentation is in order. Here are two other paragraphs from the article:

Or — equal time for opposing views no matter how stupid — are the Repugnants doing us all a favor, improving our confidence in election integrity? :stuck_out_tongue:

I think that there may be many more instances like this Iowan woman. They’ll all be caught.

Then, in the future they’ll be pointed to as examples of why voter ID is needed. Never mind that them getting caught shows the opposite.

It almost makes me wonder if they aren’t deliberately being encouraged so as to serve as examples for ID advocates. Probably not. Almost certainly not; but it makes one wonder.

That’s not exactly sound logic. A few people get caught: we don’t need voter ID! No one gets caught: There’s no voter fraud!

I think a compromise should be reached. It would best start this way: Republicans shall stop committing voter fraud as an effort to prove it exists.

The best thing to do is let the media do what it already does: go over the voter rolls and find out why dead people voted.

Of course, then those who oppose inconveniencing anyone with an ID requirement then just say, “Oh, that’s just clerical error, that person didn’t actually vote!”

Did you forget to take your meds today? Because this is gibberish.
