What a surprise!
Maybe that will be something to use in the next voting-rights case. I just hope that case is not too late.
Wow. Proud of the fact that you prevent people from exercising their right to vote.
Unbelievable. Except: GOP, where democracy is unwelcome.
My thought too. Hope you’re right.
Hopefully Democrats can use that as motivation to make up those early vote shortfalls tomorrow when we’ll finally be working with a (mostly) full set of polling stations. Still some problems because even some Election Day polling stations have been closed by these bigots and cheaters that call themselves Republicans.
Soon, James Comey will comment that he doesn’t see how those things could possibly be related.
C’mon people. VOTE. Take over the Senate and the House and keep the Presidency. We have two years to fill the Supreme Court and take these obstructing ratfkers to the toolshed. Let’s show them what one party rule LOOKS LIKE. The Voting Rights Act WILL BE reinstated no matter WHAT kind of BS John Robert spews.
Gotta love those southern christians, lol.
This makes my blood boil. We need to make voting rights a priority in this country. Push for nationwide vote by mail for federal elections. It works. It saves money. It allows people to exercise their constitutional rights in the privacy of their own homes.
Unreal and obscene.
But then you can’t watch the polls and make sure that only the Right people vote.
This is the next big voting rights case - the closure of polling places (and early voting places) in NC, TX and AZ that disproportionately inhibits African-Americans and Latinos from voting, compared to white voters. It has to be an unconstitutional deprivation of equal rights to deliberately force a specific set of voters to wait five or six hours to vote when another lighter-colored set of voters can vote in 30 minutes.
You folks are all wrong. Chief Justice Roberts has said there is no racial discrimination left in Dixie.
Well Catholic vote in 1964 was no doubt down too from 1960 when first Catholic prez was elected, but thanks, GOPer for pointing this out. You have just motivated black folks to turn out in the next 24 hours.
Besides 57% of those white folks who turned out are women who strongly disapprove of a candidate who bragged about his sexual assaults.
Yes their white rights have been denied ever since they killed Jim Crow and the negro was allowed to vote.
"It’s in our history to be able to discriminate "
Bless their hearts
I am not from North Carolina. This is heartbreaking.
Much of this type of thing belies so much of the presentations which have been spread by the popular culture apparatus.
Film after film has highlighted the Civil Rights struggles of the 1950s and 1960s…as though they were a chronicle of battles which had been won. They never were won.
At best, they represented advances.
Democrats with their GOTV have their work cut out for them in general and, specifically, African American have to make up for the shortfall with their own GOTV.
I’m not sure I’d be terribly reassured about caucasian turnout being up. Hillz is up +9 among women in the last Public Policy Polling result in NC. Women tend to outnumber men. Hillz is also kicking Dishonest Don among younger NC voters.
The sad thing is that Burr looks relatively safe at this point.
“Our Republican Board members should feel empowered to make legal changes to early voting plans, that are supported by Republicans,” Woodhouse wrote. “Republicans can and should make party line changes to early voting.”
It is, after all, the very thing our men and women are fighting for overseas to protect.
The proof:
Notice a trend here?
Not enough tar or feathers on the planet.
When you can’t persuade people with your ideas Plan B is to prevent those you can’t persuade from voting. This has been the GOPs game plan since time immemorial, and we act surprised every time an incident of it becomes evident. I actually don’t blame the GOP because they do only what they know how to do. The Democrats don’t fight hard enough on this stuff. I hope that changes.
