Despite the attempt by your referenced author in a right wing RAG to dismiss the evidence of VOTER SUPPRESSION on the part of Republicans, by using the determination and WILL of Democratic voters NOT to let Republicans dissuade them from exercising THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE, the FACT IS, voter suppression and the right winged effort to SUPPRESS the vote REMAINS AN INDISPUTABLE FACT.
For one, voters encountered ALL SORTS of problems in exercizing their RIGHT to vote in Texas, from hundreds of ballots being returned for missing information (to be placed in spots hidden behind envelope flaps) to long registered voters like a military veteran suddenly getting a registration reject. MUCH of which has already been documented in THIS THREAD.
What's more, right wing VOTER SUPPRESSION isn't only proven by who does or doesn't show up at the polls.It is NO MISTAKE that almost all of the voting chaos occurs in REPUBLICAN LED STATES. In fact it is BY DESIGN.
- When REPUBLICANS move and close polling places in minority districts, THAT'S VOTER SUPPRESSION.
- When REPUBLICANS air ads on Latino radio stations telling their listeners to vote the DAY AFTER THE ELECTION, THAT'S VOTER SUPPRESSION
- When REPUBLICANS try to outlaw mail in ballots, early voting, and absentee voting THAT'S VOTER SUPPRESSION.
- When REPUBLICANS deny voter outcomes by suggesting the results are fraudulent, and thereafter try to incite a POLITICAL COUP, THAT'S VOTER SUPPRESSION.
- When REPUBLICANS criminally form a group of FAKE ELECTORS, draw up fraudulent documents, stamp them with official state seals, and send them to National Archives as if they were LEGIT, THAT'S VOTER SUPPRESSION.
The party of Trump/PUTIN wants Americans to lose faith in the integrity of the election process. Because THAT is what enables dictators like Trump/PUTIN to usurp elections and establish autocracies.

The word is becoming the same as "racist", they throw it around so freely that it has lost it's true meaning.

It means "rule by the common people". as opposed to "rule by the nobility"
It means that a country is not ruled by a hereditary monarch.
So of course, this is a republic.
Fools who say that this is a republic, however, seem to think that the will of the majority should not be respected.

.Pamela Moses, Lanisha Jones, two Black women whose mistakes at trying to exercise the right to vote invoked venom from the MAGA REICH in dire need of proof of rampant voter fraud, and who made much rancor in their aims to lock them up for it. To set an EXAMPLE. Pamela Moses says it more succinctly. IT IS A SCARE TACTIC:

Yet, WHAT OF MARK MOSES? Who deliberately and WILLFULLY fake his residence in voting?

What of TRUMP HIMSELF?? Will they be prosecuting THOSE FKRS TOO, like they did for Moses and Jones??

voting rights or voting laws?B.See » 05 Oct 2021, 2:49 am » wrote: ↑ 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.
