"Disputed legal theories" is a strange way of saying "lies".
Calling themselves election investigators, the activists have pressed local officials in Michigan, Nevada and Georgia to drop voters from the rolls en masse. They have at times targeted Democratic areas, relying on new data programs and novel legal theories to justify their push.
Hmmm...
Trump says it was his decision to describe the 2020 election as 'rigged'
So they're trying to rig the next election on behalf of the f**king douchebag who claimed the last one was rigged.
That was the plan from the get go.
Notable is that the clerks are also complicit in all of this. They are rubber stamping the whole thing and getting called out by their states.
business as usual
It's not about which group is doing what .... it's all about which group has three most money for marketing and communication. The group with the biggest funding and monetary support will be the one that will carry their message longest and farthest.
It's the rich and wealthy that will decide how the population will be swayed.
And they do not care who the representative is. They could decide on supporting the reanimated corpse of Hitler and given enough money and time, they could get zombie Hitler elected.
This isn't a democracy ... it's a plutocracy.
Just begging for a civil war, huh
person not legally able to vote here
this has been an ongoing issue not just with what is discussed in the article in the US and yes it was bipartisan politics that took my vote away
between the people barred from voting and the people not voting and the two main corporate political parties we are utterly fucked
if we act like cowards we will be ruled by bullies. buy guns and coordinate.
If you have enough people with guns then you'd have enough people with votes. If you don't have enough people to win the vote, then put guns in their hands and they'll still be outnumbered. Guns aren't the answer.
You did see that the post was about how Republicans are trying to strip Democrats of their ability to vote, right? So, having the votes won't matter if Republicans game the system to keep Democrats from voting. So, in that case, what other options are left?
You have the freedom to vote how I think you should vote!
That one cliche Pokémon meme
