Discussion: Supreme Court Greenlights Ohio's Voter Purge Policy

When you can’t win, cheat. When you can’t cheat, change the rules.

Thanks, Dead-ender Bernie Bros dickheads.

Thanks Bernie bros. and Stein sisters. It’s not like Hillary’s SCOTUS appointees would have made a difference or anything…

Those right wing supreme court justices are traitors too. All fucking dirty Republicans in this country are just the same.

Fascism has come to Amurikkka. It is time for people to start sharpening their pitchforks, arming themselves and getting ready to act.

You think I’m fucking kidding? That this is an overreaction? Fine, let’s all sit on our thumbs until we’re rendered entirely powerless and THEN wake up, because lord knows being victimized and subjugated is so much easier when you can tell yourself it’s too late.

WHAT? What kind of ridiculous logic is this? The removal of voting registration because someone DIDN’T RESPOND TO A NOTICE?

Wanna bet Trump wins in 2020?

Stealing the Supreme Court has guarenteed that legal coup will occur…

Yep, we could be debating expanding healthcare access and college affordability. Instead we are simply trying to hold the line and stop them from going any further. Meanwhile, we’re going to feel consequences of giving away a SCOTUS seat, along with who knows how many federal judges, for decades and decades to come. But, boy, did they teach Clinton and the DNC a lesson!

I’m not sure why anyone would argue the matter with folks like Alito. he and the other conservatives on that Court had their minds made up before they looked at the first bit of evidence or law. Voter purges help Republicans win and that’s the reason they’re the only folks doing them. They don’t revoke you drivers license if you don’t drive or your professional license if you don’t practice. So the logic’s not there. This ruling gives Republicans what they want as a gift from Republicans on the Court. It puts a process in place that can be subjectively administered fixing the GOP’s problem with hard to rig voter registration. Register if you like. You’re not going to vote if a GOP’er head of elections doesn’t want you to.

They did it to me here in Florida.

If you are registered to vote, you should be able to fucking vote. Not responding to a “Notice” should not take away your registration or your voting rights. How’s about we be required to re-register every fucking year. Motherfuckers.

Well one good thing could be a result of this— if we can get the word out that not voting means losing your registration, maybe more people will vote more often?

This sums it up…

The Dems better start cheating or it’s over, if it isn;t already…

I’ll take that bet. This isn’t a Trumpian policy. It’s a long time mainstream Republican policy to try to keep people from voting. It’s not new, it just kicked into high gear when a black man got elected overwhelmingly.

Too many people mistake what is now standard Republican policy and ideology for Trumpism or loyalty to him. Siding with this administration against, say, unions isn’t evidence that the Cons on The Court support PP. It’s evidence that they’re Cons. If Jeff Flake, Charlie Dent, Sasse, McCain or Corker were on the bench they’d side with the most Conservative argument because it’s fundamentally who they are, what they believe. But it doesn’t mean they’re going to spare or protect PP when the time comes.

Yep, let’s spend our energy poking these folks in the eye, we don’t need their votes…

Oh wait, we do.

This is not helpful.

Ignoring the past and glossing over how we got here isn’t helpful either. We did that after 2000. We’d be fools to do it again.
