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.

Is it voting rights or voting laws?

Margot Cleveland, "There is no such thing, however, as an “unfettered” right to vote. That right is “fettered” by many things, as the Constitution assumed it would be, in providing state legislatures the power to prescribe “the times, places, and manner” of holding federal elections.

While the right to vote is fundamental, the right to vote is not the right to vote in the simplest, easiest way possible, without the need for any effort or exertion. Rather, as the Supreme Court reiterated last year, a voting system must be “equally open,” and provide “equal opportunity to cast a ballot,” but it must tolerate “the usual burdens of voting.”

Registering ahead of time to vote, providing photo identification confirming the person showing up to vote is the person registered to vote, traveling to a precinct, and personally casting a ballot are but the usual burdens of voting—nothing more and nothing less. Yet the misbranded Freedom to Vote Act, if passed, would usurp state election codes that establish such minimal requirements.

Not only is this an affront to federalism, passage of the so-called Freedom to Vote Act would represent the true attack on the legitimacy of elections because it would gut state election code provisions that protect against non-citizens voting, the undue influence of voters, and voter fraud—which is precisely why Democrats want to make the bill law.

Are either more than intellectual concepts used by biological results of ancestral progression each generation population changes people occupying space now?

Here's how REPUBLICANS HAVE RIGGED THE VOTE IN THEIR FAVOR FOR DECADES:

Last time Republicans won a majority of the Senate popular vote was in 1946

The implications of this data are astonishing:  as shown in the chart below, Senate Republicans have neither won more votes nor represented more Americans than Democrats since the late 1990s.  Despite that fact, the GOP has controlled the Senate ... over half the time since then ...”

How minority rule plagues Senate: Republicans last won more support than Democrats two decades ago

After the defeat of the "For the People Act" that would have been essentially a federal take over of elections making vote fraud easier, they then tried to pass HR4 in an attempt to federalize presidential and congressional elections. Both were unConstitutional!!!  What dim-0-craps were trying to do was expand mail-in voting, legalize vote harvesting, provide federal tax dollars to campaigns and ban voter ID requirements.  HR4 was dead on arrical at the Senate.

The dim-0-craps want a one party country. They pretended this was about voting rights. It was about power. Everything they do is about taking away personal freedoms. A federal law will be unconstitutional. Its a state right. Centralized control is ripe for corruption like every large federal program.

Your ****, liberal mind may have you thinking "MAGATS" are wanting to change election laws, but that is not true!!!  
 

The only reason someone is against voter ID is because they intend to cheat...

At some point in time, you must be able to prove that you live in the precinct you wish to vote in, and that you are a US Citizen.

In my state every high school kid knows where to get a ID and they are willing to go there (even on their birthday) fill out a form, pay money, take a test and get a drivers license... Every high school kid knows this.

In the 21st Century getting a ID is really not that hard. It is just a dem excuse to cheat.

Democrats call purging the voter rolls of dead people, move-outs, and those who haven't voted for 20+years "voter suppression", when in reality, it takes away their ability to VOTE FOR ALL THESE KINDS OF PEOPLE in order to win elections!!

The simple FACTS are, they can't show you  ONE CASE where fewer people turned out to vote in any election when SOLID laws where enacted that secured our elections to be FAIR and "one person, one vote" assurances. NOR can they show you ONE PERSON who was LEGALLY ELIGIBLE TO VOTE that couldn't cast a ballot. NOR can they show you where ANY MINORITY of any kind was UNABLE to cast a ballot when they were LEGALLY entitled to cast that ballot.

All that @B.See   has is PURE PROPAGANDA and she is too stupid to know it. ALL of her "Hit pieces" are nothing more than COMMENTARY AND OPINION. LONG on BS and short of FACTS!!

Nearly 25,000 mail-in ballots rejected in March 1 Texas primary, mostly due to new election law

The first vote conducted under requirements of the new state law saw a rejection rate of 12.4% of ballots mailed to elections offices, a trend AARP Texas director calls “deeply troubling.

”AUSTIN — The Texas Secretary of State issued a report Wednesday indicating that nearly 25,000 mail-in ballots were rejected during the March 1 primary, sharply higher than rejections recorded in prior elections.

The major increase in the number of rejected ballots stems almost entirely from new mail-in ballot identification rules from a controversial election law enacted earlier this year. Before the law, election officials typically saw rejection rates hovering near 1%. 

In total, 24,636 ballots were rejected across Texas. Of those, 14,281 were Democratic ballots while 10,355 were ballots for the Republican primary. About 3 million ballots were cast in the primaries.

Texas Sen. Beverly Powell explains why she stopped reelection bid | Fort Worth Star-Telegram

The outcome of the Senate District 10 election was predetermined after the latest redistricting cycle, Texas Sen. Beverly Powell said hours after announcing her withdrawal from the November general election.

Powell, a Burleson Democrat and first-term state senator, is suspending her campaign for the North Texas district and withdrawing her name from the ballot. Her exit sets up an all but certain victory for state Rep. Phil King, a Republican who won his primary in March and is set to appear on the November ballot.

In an interview with the Star-Telegram, Powell said she would have stayed in the race were it not for the new boundaries that she and others argue in a federal lawsuit are racially discriminatory, dividing Tarrant County’s Black, Latino and Asian voters.

Why do you goddamn ****, liberal idiots have a problem with proper IDs required to vote?  Does that make it too difficult to commit voter fraud?

Under SB 1, voters have to provide a partial Social Security number or driver's license number on their mail ballot application — as well as on the return envelope. The ID number they provide has to match what's on their voter registration record.

Mail-in voting should be totally ILLEGAL!!!  Get off your lazy *** and go to the polls!!!
