The party of voter suppression

[Pete F.]

It doesn't help Covita’s argument to "stop counting the ballots" in GA/PA etc. that his only possible path back in AZ/NV is to...continue counting the ballots.

Federal employee Kayleigh McEnany says if Trump loses PA they will go to the supreme court to get ballots mailed before or on election day thrown out

It’s striking that the same people who are terrified of progressive thinking support what is possibly the most anti-democratic president in US history.

If you think that ballots that conform to the law in the state in which they are cast should be thrown out (because you are losing), you are not a believer in our Constitution

pete...from the State of Pa website...I know voting is especially difficult for democrats but this is pretty straightforward..


November 3: Election Day

Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Last day to return your mail ballot:

IMPORTANT: Voters who have not yet cast their mail or absentee ballot are urged to hand-deliver their voted ballots as soon as possible to their county election office or other county drop off location or drop box. Ballots must be delivered by 8 p.m. on Election Day but the sooner the better. Voters should no longer use postal service delivery as it is too late to guarantee your ballot will be delivered on time.

Riot declared in Portland as rioters smash windows

PORTLAND, Ore. — A riot was declared in Portland, Ore., and protesters took to the streets in Seattle on Wednesday as people demanded that every vote in Tuesday’s election be counted. .

The Multnomah County Sheriff's Office at about 7 p.m. declared a riot after rioters were seen smashing windows at businesses. In the interest of public safety, Gov. Kate Brown activated the use of the state National Guard to help local law enforcement manage the unrest, according to the sheriff's office.



so stopping democrats from destroying the property of others is "suppressing" their right to protest...and stopping democrats from stealing an election is "suppressing" democracy


these people are great...

Don't worry, Covita has some god on his side

to the point of this thread, was there rampant voter suppression? Voting turnout looks quite high, indicating that voter suppression wasn't a huge factor.

Umm. Isn’t trumpnscreaming like a man child to stop counting votes a symptom of voter suppression? Plus gerrymandering to suppress the minority vote. Plus closing poking stations in minority neighborhoods. All these things happen

I think you forgot putting a sycophant in charge of limiting USPS bandwidth to try and disenfranchise as many late mail in voters as possible? Disobeying a Federal judge's order to find 300,000 known missing mail in ballots?

Now we're going to see a litany of ridiculous lawsuits in an attempt to get counted ballots tossed, because that's about the only way they can win at this point.

Umm, screaming about how votes are counted, isn't even close to voter suppression.

"Plus gerrymandering to suppress the minority vote"

And democrats don't do that when they are in charge of re-districting. Only Republicans. I agree it's disgusting, but how can you claim it's a GOP-only thing?

"All these things happen"

Yes they do, sadly. But what you're ignorant of, is that they happen on both sides.

Or they could bother counting the 600,000 (is that the right #?) uncounted ballots in AZ. Is it wrong to ask that those be counted for some reason?

The guy who doesn’t want to submit his DNA so we find out he’s a rapist is the same guy who doesn’t want you to count votes so we find out he’s a loser.

the same people who can't be expected to stand in lines to vote or get their votes in on time can always find time, even during the middle of the week, to protest for hours on end.....

When the President is habitually lying about voting by mail during a pandemic, that is 100% an attempt to suppress the vote thinking it will gain an advantage.

Who's saying not to count AZ? Count 'em all, follow the state laws, quit complaining.

You don't think voting by mail is necessarily more prone to fraud, than voting in person with an id? It' snot easier to commit fraud with mail-in votes?

That's one of the things Trump is asking for. SO some of his requests are reasonable.

Agreed. But "if" state laws say that observers need to have access (not sure if that's guaranteed by law, I have no idea) and you deny them access ("if" that actually happened; I don't know, and I presume you don't know for sure either), then that's a violation of state law. Right?

I have never seen a single credible report that says it vote by mail fraud is statistically significant anywhere in the US. Not one.

Wanting votes to be counted and you give them an atta'boy? The bar is really that pathetically low.

It's like the second debate "Trump doesn't poop pants, wins debate"

we are seeing the very serious problem with mailing out unsolicited ballots....but chaos works in the democrats favor

[Pete F.]

Tweety on election night

"This is a fraud on the American public. This is an embarrassment to our country. We were getting ready to win this election. Frankly, we did win this election. We did win this election. So our goal now is to ensure the integrity for the good of this nation. This is a very big moment. This is a major fraud in our nation. We want the law to be used in a proper manner. So we’ll be going to the US Supreme Court. We want all voting to stop. We don’t want them to find any ballots at four o’clock in the morning and add them to the list. Okay? It’s a very sad moment. To me this is a very sad moment and we will win this. And as far as I’m concerned, we already have won it."

Trump is losing Nevada by 7,500 votes. So I'm not sure your definition of "statistically significant", which would change based on party of sitting president, means much.

A statement with precisely zero facts, precisely zero evidence, is good enough for you. you are willing to take the word of a liberal, but not of any conservative. Sounds smart.
