CLAIM
North Carolina admitted that a voter ID law was at least partly enacted in response to African-American voting tendencies that went against conservative interests.

From court documents:
snopes said:
As “evidence of justifications” for the changes to early voting, the State offered purported inconsistencies in voting hours across counties, including the fact that only some counties had decided to offer Sunday voting. The State then elaborated on its justification, explaining that “[c]ounties with Sunday voting in 2014 were disproportionately black” and “disproportionately Democratic.”

Apologies if this has already been posted, I searched a few times but came up with no matches.

I can't think of much to say about this story, apart from "that's fucked up".
 
If someone did that to me, in my mind, it would be an act of war... or something along those lines.. One primary thing defines us as democracies and that is we are free people, try and take away my freedom.. Holy shit dude.
Take away these peoples freedom, what are they? There is a word for it, but it escapes me... what is it?
 
It's fvcked up but it's fvcked up by design, by planning, by having late hour discrete strategy sessions among very influential right wing conspirators that wish to illegally take and hold power and more importantly keep power out of the hands of those who merely wish to have a say in how their country is run.

The Repubs have to do these things because they are not the majority of the nation who know without doubt that the Repub party is not of, for and by the people. Rather, they are exclusively of, for and by the very wealthy.

Things are fvcked up. Yes they are, but only in ways that benefit the thoroughly corrupted Repub Party and those aristocrat oligarchs that run it.

That needs some serious correcting and the opportunity is nigh.

Maybe if black people weren't racist against Republicans this wouldn't be necessary. So you see, black people are the real racists.

Yeah, my thread showing Democrats disenfranchising white Republicans is overflowing with examples. #bothsides?

The thread exists and it is long. I can't be bothered to read any of it, so I will just assume it is full of tens, nay hundreds of examples of Democrats disenfranchising white Republicans. Thank you for your work, kind sir.

"NOTE: On 10/21, Carl Bernstein (CNN) reported that "people in touch with the White House believe if the midterms are very close and the Dems...win by 5 to 7 seats...Trump [is] already talking about how to...say that the election's been illegitimate.""

- Oh boy .. and its not even 2020. Wonder how that will play out!

I hate these “People are saying” stories but I hated when Trump used to use them.
Sounds totally like something Trump would say or do. All he could mention during the election was how unfair the press or the RNC or the DNC or the debate moderators or the debate seating was to him.

I predict lots of recounts and questioned mail-in ballots.

It'll be China's fault. He can't throw shade on his buddy Putin.
 
Some good news for naturalized US citizens who were being blocked from registering in Georgia must be allowed. That's 3,000 people.

OOps this is the NC thread not Georgia. So many damn suppression initiatives!

I guess what I am getting at is what options does he have to "cancel" the results? Push it on China, declare war? Something? Whats the most crazy stunt we can imagine he can pull to get out of this one?

Hard to say, this is the type thing that needs to play out. Too many variables to even guess.
 
Republicans are you proud of your party? How it is no longer even trying to sell conservatism as an idea, but instead is just rigging elections?

Not so much a "crazy stunt"...but sounds like Trump and Xi are about to announce an end to the trade war...which could see a 800-1000 point jump in the markets Monday/Tuesday. Could help R turnout??

Larry Kudlow threw cold water on it and said there is nothing with China in the works. Of course, he could be saying that to keep it off the record officially.

I've said it for a month (at work) that cheeto would announce some sort of trade deal with China and the stock market would BOOM right before election. Looks like Monday is the only day left. Today started out UP big time but Kudlow killed it to a big negative day.

I don't think it'll really matter. Studies show that his support wasn't really coming from economic stress, and his numbers are quite low for how good the economy is already. I've also read that historically economic conditions don't matter as much in the midterms. As well, his approval numbers have gone up somewhat, but it has translated into a rather trivial amount for Republicans in the races.

Of course they are proud. Staying in power is all that matters. Allegiance to their god or their country is secondary to them staying in power.
