In a speech as far back as April 11, 2014, President Barack Obama came right out and said what MOST of us knew to be true even BEFORE then. That voting rights are under a GOP attack.

Fact was the GOP has been attacking people's right to vote for sometime now, prior to the 2016 election, prior to the 2020 election, and continuing more in earnest now, even as we speak.

The conservative response is that the laws are necessary to address issues of "voter fraud" which in and of itself IS a FRAUDULENT ARGUMENT, created by the right in order to pass discriminatory legislation.

Nor is their attack upon the right to vote their ONLY attack upon civil rights.  Because the GOP has also LONG been busy curtailing the rights of CERTAIN others as well.

APPARENTLY, if you don't see the world through their narrow minded conservatively MYOPIC point of view, you don't DESERVE rights.

That's racist. Or too complex. Blacks are all simpletons, remember?

They have to be led around like children.

Maybe I'm thinking of Mexicans.

I'd better check with a white progressive to make sure. It's their rules after all.

Republicans aren't just requiring an ID to vote. They've become anti-absentee voting, when in fact absentee voting had traditionally been THEIR forte. Now that non-Republicans are doing that in greater number, all of a sudden they're anti absentee voting. Maybe they're just anti-Democrat anti-Black absentee voting eh? 

They're also moved or closed up polling places in mostly minority districts, shortened hours, and have passed other laws specifically tailored to negatively impact the people they DON'T want voting. Then as if that isn't enough, they've gerrymandered districts to give themselves more seats with less votes, and passed laws that enable them to overturn and/or throw out election results they don't like.

But of course you already KNEW they're doing all of that and more. You just wanted me to remind everyone else what the sob's have been up to, didn't ya?

Really? Then why are only Republicans trying to keep Americans from voting. Oh... I forget. According to Moscow Mitch, Black people aren't AMERICANS.

Mitch McConnell does not believe African Americans are Americans

Mitch McConnell says Black people vote just as much as 'Americans'

And BTW, Biden's failure is largely BECAUSE OF REPUBLICAN OBSTRUCTIONISM. Biden's failure was mainly that he didn't EXPECT IT from those mfkrs.  Surprised he said about GOP's conspiracy to oppose EVERYTHING.

Hasn't he been PAYING ATTENTION to who and what these b---------ds were all about from the GET??

Here are excerpts from an article I posted above. They bear CLOSER SCRUTINY:

The next coup is being attempted, and it's more sinister than the last | Opinion

We should all know by now that the U.S. is not a true democracy. If it were, the Republican Party would have won only one presidential election since 1988. Instead — thanks to the Electoral College — it has won three. But now, the GOP’s chances of winning, even with the Electoral College, have diminished.

So what should the party do? One would hope what political parties have always done. Change the message. Energize the base. Enlarge the tent.

But what’s happening instead is this: In key battleground states still under GOP control such as Georgia and Texas, the party is removing the civil servants who confirm who has won and replacing them with party loyalists.

I am not making this up. They are replacing the refs with their own players. That way if the other side wins, they can site some evidence of voter fraud — there’s always some small error in a statewide election — and throw out the results.

And because the ultimate power to select delegates to the Electoral College belongs to the state legislatures, they can simply send an alternative slate of delegates who will vote the party line.

I feel half-crazy even writing these words, but this is exactly what is going on right now. Not in Egypt or El Salvador. In America.

The point of a coup is to overturn the lawful government and replace it with one of the insurrectionists’ choosing.

... Donald Trump’s supporters tried this the old-fashioned way on Jan. 6, 2021, and failed. Now they’re doing it a new way. A smarter and more sinister way.

If you’re like me, you may have thought that the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol was carried out by fringe elements and far-right extremists. It wasn’t.

We now know from the more than 700 people who have been charged and arrested that the vast majority of insurrectionists were mainstream Republicans. Many college-educated and white-collar workers. Many with their own businesses.

The common denominator was a deeply held belief that the 2020 presidential election was stolen (a belief shared by the majority of registered Republicans despite a battalion of GOP judges ruling otherwise) and a willingness to use all means necessary to right that wrong.
