Tone deaf? No. That's not tone deafness, that's just the open manifestation of white supremacy.

    Today's Wisconsin vote will go down as one of the most shameful episodes in the post-civil rights era.  And it is 100% on the GOP.  This is their baby -- they INSIST on in-person voting in the middle

Nope. That's exactly the message Kemp wants to send out. 

I'm glad I don't live in America any more and will fight like hell any attempts by my employer to move me back.

Fuck this shit.

Boy, and to think when I started this thread on Shaggy before the 2016 election, I got all sorts of shit because "it wasn't really happening."

 

 

I remember bitching about Republican vote caging during the 2004 election back in the day on Hornfans. Back then the racists had to resort to dirty tricks like sending returned mail to black servicemen's homes while they were deployed overseas to get them kicked off voter roles and pretty much nobody talked about it, even after it came up during congressional testimony. At least they're more open about their cheating now.

6:50 to skip past railing against North Dakota Native American vote suppression and on to laughing at True The Vote and talking about registration surge in Texas

You guys are giving him waaaay too much credit.

So anything going to actually be done about this in Georgia or is everyone just going to wring their hands?

I’m sure the DOJ will step in and enforce the Voting Rights Act.

If you're saying the people of Georgia should rise up in violent insurrection, I agree with you.

Not sure what else you are looking for.

Several lawsuits have been filed but who knows if something will be done in time by a judge or if they retroactively say these practices made this election illegitimate (which is laughable of course).

really wish our resident conservatives would justify anything on the last...oh I dunno 9 pages of this thread

If minorities wanted to vote they should have thought about that before they chose to be minorities. 

Sounds like the Hispanics in Dodge City weren’t going to vote anyway.

Dodge City had multiple voting locations until the American with Disabilities Act in 2002 imposed more stringent requirements for accessibility to polling places, Dunlap said.

That's fucked up.

Interesting you mention that, as that seems to be a reason voters were purged in Georgia.

Sadly, those purged will probably never know. 

Another dumb pointless move by Kemp you say? That's so weird.

Voters should not be purged merely for not voting.  And I SERIOUSLY DOUBT that they are.

In Alabama if they don't vote in a two year period they are notified.  If they respond to the notification they aren't purged.

Well if Tahoe doubts it then nothing to worry about folks

he dissent, which was joined by the court's other liberal-leaning justices, noted that only 4 percent of Americans move outside the county they live in each year, and that in 2012, Ohio identified 1.5 million registered voters – nearly 20 per cent of the state's total – as likely to be ineligible, because they had changed their addresses. That would mean that vastly more Ohioans moved each year than in other states. And when sent address confirmation letters, Breyer opined, that it appears that more than two-thirds mistook the notice for junk mail and threw it out, thus losing their right to vote without even knowing it.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor, in a separate dissent, pointed particularly to the effect of Monday's decision on minority and poor neighborhoods. She observed that, in Hamilton County – which includes Cincinnati – African-American neighborhoods in the city had 10 percent of their voters removed due to inactivity, as compared to only 4 percent in the suburban, white-majority neighborhoods.

A majority of the Supreme Court also allowed concentration camps for Japanese Americans.  Doesn't mean it was a good idea.

It's the GOP gameplan, 100%.  Keep minorities from voting.  No intellectually honest person can deny it.

You sure have seen a lot of tap dancing around it though, what with all "well if you want to keep your right then maybe you should make an effort!" The problem is that they're attempts this year have been so blatantly obvious that finally the media is shedding a much bigger light on it.

2016 tweet buried in one of the above

The great thing about living in Trump country is there are no long lines at my early voting location, which is less than a mile from my house.

Somebody’s internal polling is telling them to toss every ballot they can.  

My signature changes when it's done two seconds apart.  It's obvious it's the same person (me) signing, but any stooge could say they aren't identical. 

Fight this bullshit.

It looks like my vote is being suppressed. Still no absentee ballot and possibly not enough time to mail it.

Really would love to see his internal polling.   What a fucking coward. 

The GOP's best voter suppression tactic in states with large Black populations is not to run a candidate in Black districts against Black nominees.  For example, in Houston, do not put up a GOP candidate against Sheila Jackson Lee.

The Dems try to motivate voters by hollering racism.  Just take that card away.  Sheila Jackson Lee will win anyway.  But if the GOP runs a candidate against her the Dems will run through the Black neighborhoods asserting some mortal threat by White people against Blacks, and the need to ge defend Sheila and the threat to Blacks.

If a candidate has opposition they campaign more than if they are unopposed.  All candidates do this.  If a candidate like Sheila Jackson Lee has no personal reason to campaign, she'll campaign a lot less.  It will affect voter turnout in her district.  Voters who would come to vote for her, and then vote straight Dem while they're there, don't come.  That affects candidates like O'Rourke.

One year I worked to support a candidate for a minority district in the state House.  He had been a football star in the community (and played at Michigan) and was active in local politics.  Promoting him drove up turnout in that district and probably cost us a key countywide race.

Another good voter suppression technique is to push an issue which splits the Dem electorate, forcing a candidate either to choose or wimp out.  For years the gay marriage thing worked.  It was popular with the true Left but not with Catholics, minorities or Billy Bob - all big Dem constituencies.
