Originally published at: Even In Trump Country, State Election Officials Buck DOJ’s Latest Attempt to Seize Voter Rolls - TPM – Talking Points Memo
President Trump’s Justice Department is doubling down on its months-long crusade to access sensitive voter information from red and blue states across the country. As it currently stands, the DOJ is suing 30 states — both Republican and Democrat alike — who have refused to succumb to the department’s unprecedented demands for voter roll data. …
This, coupled with threats of National Guard deployments at polling places, has me preparing to leave the country. My plans are made, a destination set up, tix bought for 2nd week of November.
I am allowing for no real change from the US’s way of doing things, but am doing as advised by a Jewish man who escaped Nazi Germany. Werner Haas wrote for my publication for years always advising me to watch for certain things. “Get out early. Or you don’t get to leave,” he’d say.
What things? Paramilitary roaming the streets. Attacks on residents - and worse - killing citizens on the street. Funny biz around elections. Destruction of the rule of law. A mad King in control.
It’s not clear why the DOJ is trying to access this information.
Oh, I think it’s crystal clear to anyone with even half a brain.
I used to think that Richard Kleindienst was the worst AG of all time. Pam Bondi has him beat by a mile.
Be sure and vote first. If your state has early in-person, do that.
What happened to all the conspiracists screaming about intrusion into and taking away their personal liberties? Oh I forgot, only Dems take away your personal liberties.
TACO usually rules whenever the Orange felon trys his illegal bullsh*t and there is the slightest push back. Case in point:
The mis-administration has no scrote and relys on threats and intimidation that are rarely carried out. That said I will keep my passport handy for a quick trip to Canada just in case the POS and his administration grow a pair. I do not think it will happen.
Trump Can’t Stop Backing Down
Where the bully encounters strength, he withdraws. Constantly.
DOES IT SOMETIMES SEEM AS THOUGH too many people have never learned the lessons of the schoolyard? If you capitulate to a bully, you will be bullied forever. If you stand up to him, he will back down. What’s true on the playground is also true in the office, in politics, and in international relations.
Bondi can’t admit defeat or she will be called a wuss and lose her job.
Good to see repub Secretaries of State protecting their voter information. I’m pretty sure they are reading the mood in the country.
Would they have been so brave a year ago?
With voter rolls, they can identify all Democrats, then they can do evil things like declaring them dead to the Social Security Administration, which will instantly freeze all their banking and financial accounts. And no, I would not put it past them.
HAVE YOU SEEN THE DOW???
