Republicans cannot win elections without cheating. A vast majority of them are the scum of the earth
We need election day registration everywhere. We purge non-voters in my state too, but then if they show up, they just get directed to the registration table. Of course, stopping eligible voters is the point in Ohio.
Not a problem. When asked to comment Governor Kasich said he will form a committee to investigate the claims right after the November elections. However, he will ask the court to issue a stay order stating “We’re not going to drop any voter purge litigation into the election-year cauldron. I’m certainly not going to let it happen to the good people of Ohio.”
As usual the Republican suppression activities sound OK on the surface. A voter might be dead or might have moved away if he hasn’t voted the last several elections. May as well remove him from the list. Of course, problems happen when the voter shows up expecting to vote in a presidential election ignorant that he has been removed from the roles. There are ways to handle this sort of thing fairly for all, but they cost money. The usual Republican strategy is to not pay for the remediation. Come election day, the voter shows up and is shocked to discover he can’t vote.
I’m trying to figure out how failure to purge voters who are neither dead nor moved to another jurisdiction could lead to voting fraud. All the scenarios I can think up make me laugh too much to type. Also, if you’re going to send a verification letterwith the intent of removing someone from the voting rolls if they don’t answer within a set time, what reason other than vote suppression could you have for not telling them that?
(It strikes me that Husted would also make a fine spokesthing for Mossack Fonseca.)
40,000 voters were removed from the rolls in 2015 through the
Supplemental Process, even though there was no evidence they had not [sic]
moved to a new jurisdiction.
Tierney is the best reporter here, and possibly the best writer. But I think we need to slice the not.
So who is the face of Republican voter suppression Jon Husted OH Sec. of State or PN House Leader Mike Turazi? Should we have a run off vote?
