There is a reason that Republicans passed all of these Voter Suppression Laws – they can’t win without it. It’s what they do. And, it’s not an isolated incident.
Voter suppression from all over the country. It’s who they are.
In Florida they arrest you for legally voting
In Georgia they challenge your voter eligibility as many times as they want
In Texas they shut down early voting sites that lean Dem
In Arizona vigilantes are surrounding drop boxes
GOP is waging all-out war on the American people

"Under the state’s new Election Integrity Act, Georgia citizens can challenge a voter’s eligibility on the state’s voting rolls an unlimited number of times."
So some racist busybody can sit at a polling place and just challenge every Black voter's eligiblity. https://t.co/xPOI9EgIUM

Virginia directed 60,000 voters in a Dem area to the WRONG polling place
This is after they failed to inform these 60,000 voters of their polling place at all
When we warned that fascist oligarch Glenn Youngkin was Trump in a vest, you said we were hysterical

I have to believe that if it was a group of armed Black people at Mail Dropboxes, something would be done.
To borrow from @chrislongview, I hate this kind of post, but I really feel like armed racists intimidating people at ballot boxes should be receiving more attention right now than the latest leaked internal polls.

If black men were sitting next to a voter drop box with loaded guns & their faces covered, they'd be dead, damned and delivered in a few seconds. Then the national guard would be called out just in case more wanted to follow their lead.

Funny how this didn’t happen when the Democrat was Governor.😒
Glenn Youngkins 17 y/o son tried to vote TWICE.
There was a technical "glitch" that didn't roll 107k voters over from the DMV to the voter rolls.
60k voters given wrong polling location in majority blue area.

What is it all about?
Right-wing extremists want to give state legislatures power to overturn federal elections — and finish what they started after the 2020 election. How? Here’s their scheme.
— Sheldon Whitehouse (@SenWhitehouse) September 10, 2022
Next they turn to The Court That Dark Money Built. Years of packing extremists onto the Court and political pressure have brought an obedient Court supermajority to power.
— Sheldon Whitehouse (@SenWhitehouse) September 10, 2022
Honest Elections Project calls itself a “nonpartisan organization devoted to supporting the right of every lawful voter to participate in free and honest elections.” Wrong. This group promotes voter suppression under the guise of “election integrity.”
— Sheldon Whitehouse (@SenWhitehouse) September 10, 2022
Rings a bell? It’s the theory pushed by Trumpster John Eastman to overturn the 2020 election (he also filed an amicus brief in this case). If the GOP justices go along, it would unwind our democracy as we know it.
— Sheldon Whitehouse (@SenWhitehouse) September 10, 2022
And extremists like Eastman hope that it would even let them pick election winners, overriding the state’s popular vote.
— Sheldon Whitehouse (@SenWhitehouse) September 10, 2022
The extremists think they won’t need to sack the Capitol next time. Just (illegally) fix the vote in Republican state legislatures and run it up to the captured Supreme Court for a rubber stamp. Bingo — Bush v. Gore 2.0.

IF you are thinking about leaving Twitter for TribelSocial:
If you’re thinking of signing up for TribelSocial, I’ll warn you now, DON’T. You are opening yourself up to significant cyber security issues and data harvesting by a social media network operated by two people with known deceitful fundraising activities and unethical practices.
It’s owned & operated by Omar & Rafael Rivero. In September 2022, they raised $800,000 for an election fund and donated none of the money to federal candidates, but donated $250,000 of the fund to Blue Deal LLC, a company allegedly women-owned but actually owned by Rafael Rivero.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has shown yet again that Republicans are no longer bothering to disguise their extremism and contempt for voters’ intelligence.
Jennifer Rubin’s Major Points:
Republicans want politicians to control women’s pregnancies.
Republicans won’t hesitate to back former president Donald Trump.
Republicans will instigate a constitutional crisis if they do not win in 2024.
Republicans no longer pretend to support economic populism.
Republicans have no plan to fight inflation.
Republicans revel in cruelty.
Added from another poster:
I’d add a seventh:
• Republicans will throw the world economic system into complete disarray, destroy the full faith and credit of the United States, and obliterate the dollar’s standing as the global reserve currency, by refusing to raise the debt ceiling and defaulting on the US’s debts.
Oh, almost forgot, there’s an eighth as well:
• Republicans will do everything in their power to damage, destroy, and repeal Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act.
