Other than in red, heavily gerrymandered states…
“It is my opinion, in the vast majority of jurisdictions today in America, it is easier to vote today than it has ever been.”
That’s going to be the basis for SCOTUS gutting whatever remains of the VRA. Society has moved on, it’s now incredibly easy to vote so if people aren’t doing it, it’s all on them.
Problem solved.
“” while simultaneously playing down concerns about voter suppression.”
Pull the knife out your back with one hand and stick it back in and twist it with the other.
Masterson was appointed to the commission in 2014 by President Obama on the recommendation of then-House Speaker John Boehner. Prior to that, Masterson worked in the Ohio Secretary of State’s office; his boss there, Ohio Secretary of State John Husted, was the target of multiple lawsuits that claimed Ohio sought to disenfranchise voters by cutting early voting, purging the voting rolls and imposing strict rules on provisional ballots.
Was there a law or statute that required Barack Obama to appoint a Republican with extensive experience in voter suppression to the Commission?
If not, then I have a question for the former President: just what in hell were you thinking?
A Republican who acknowledges reality and truth, at least in part? He’s an endangered specie.
Now if he could just acknowledge voter suppression.
“…if you’re white.”
“Fraud happens.” There was 2000, for instance.
Someone is getting fired.
There’s not much fraud, and we’ve got to make it harder for people to vote, to make sure there’s even less fraud in the future.
“It’s not widespread. It’s not an epidemic,”
Way to go, Captian Obvious!
No caption on the associated picture of a woman, a black guy and a white one. So I immediately and correctly identified the white guy as the tRump appointee, for the obvious reason.
That he is associated with one of the two Ohio Secs o’ State that cut their teeth throwing black voters off the registration roles, and not supplying them with voting machines (the one before the last one cost Kerry the election because of voter suppression and voting prevention in Cuyahoga County.)
Ah, Republicants. So predictable. Only say what the money tells them to say.
Uh huh. Then how to account for the 2016 election?
So, if there’s no voter fraud and no voter suppression, that makes your job pretty easy then, right Matt? Maybe you’re even unfuckingnecessary.
