It's refreshing to see some good news about these attempts being thwarted. Judge blocked USPS changes. Abbot down in TX just got rebuffed by a judge over limiting ballot boxes. Same thing just happened in Ohio.

A trend that I hope continues, voters need all the help they can get resisting the numerous republican efforts to disenfranchise millions of voting rights.

Court grants temporary stay, allowing Texas governor's directive for limited drop box locations to continue

A federal appeals court on Saturday granted a temporary administrative stay, allowing Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's directive for one location per county for ballot drop boxes to remain in place for now.

I can’t fathom how they can get away with this. Harris county has 4.7 million people. Roughly 3.5 million voting aged. if only 5 percent of the voting population intend to drop off their ballot you’d have people dropping ballots every 15 second 24 hours a day from now to the election If you started October 1.

They've gotten away with this for about 40 years straight now.

What is confusing you about the Republican Party?

As usual Georgia is up to their usual dirty tricks of suppression. Sec of State office is blaming it on enthusiastic turnout.

First of all turnout would have no effect on their voting systems. 1000 or 100,000, people can only vote one at a time.
Second Georgia has a long history of voter suppression especially in minority majority areas (Atlanta)

Over 10 fucking hours to vote?? What has this country become? Republicans are hell bent on whittling the vote down to uneducated white men. Dems need to get in office and enact immediate Voting Rights reform.

www.theguardian.com

More than 10-hour wait and long lines as early voting starts in Georgia

Georgia, where at least two counties had problems with electronic pollbooks, is latest state to see extremely long lines on first day of in person voting
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

Message to black people: don't let those racist fucks stop you. If you have to wait, wait. Bring friends make a party out of it and throw those Republican racist fucks out of office. They are trying to initiate apartheid right here in America

Looks like Trump and McConnell's court packing has paid off in Texas
The three-judge appellate panel -- all appointed by President Donald Trump -- accepted Abbott’s claim that multiple drop boxes create opportunities for voter fraud, although the state presented no evidence such fraud exists. The judges said no proof of actual voter fraud was necessary to justify the state’s protective measures.

My question how do 2 drop boxes per country pose a greater fraud risk vs 1? Doesn't make sense.

This is why Republicans moved to eviscerate the Voting Rights Act. Get the Lewis bill passed and signed the first week in office.

That's incredible - and incredibly sad. "We'll accept your argument with no evidence" despite the fact that the onus is on the plaintiff to provide proof positive.

What a joke. It's clear to me a major priority of the democratic party if they win should be a dramatic expansion of the courts to water down the impact of these trump goons.

Reinstate the voting rights act.
Double pack all the lower courts.
Add 2-3 new states
Remove the filibuster

No point at this time playing with gloves.

These people are organized and are determined. Here is how they want to change government.

“In February, during three days of meetings in Southern California, a CNP member named Rachel Bovard described the Conservative Action Project’s influence in helping the Trump administration select political appointees for the executive branch. She said the Conservative Action Project coordinated closely on these and other efforts with CNP members and the Conservative Partnership Institute, a tax-exempt charity run by former senator and tea party leader Jim DeMint of South Carolina.

“We work very closely — CAP does and then we at CPI also — with the Office of Presidential Personnel at the White House to try and get good conservatives in the positions because we see what happens when we don’t vet these people,” she said.

Bovard cited as examples two figures who testified against Trump last year in the House impeachment hearings: Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, former director for European affairs at the National Security Council, and Marie Yovanovitch, former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine.

“All these people that led the impeachment against President Trump shouldn’t have been there in the first place,” Bovard told the CNP audience. “We want to prevent that from happening.””

Honestly, who is surprised by any of this after Trump gutted the Johnson Amendment 4 months into his Administration? Trump basically gave churches and other tax-exempt organizations carte blanche when it comes to coordinating with PACs and candidates on campaigns.

California GOP is refusing to remove the illegal fake ballot drop boxes after the state AG ordered them to do so.

www.cnn.com

California Republican Party says it will not comply with state's cease and desist order on ballot drop boxes

The California Republican Party said Wednesday it will not comply with the state's cease-and-desist order over unofficial ballot drop boxes placed in at least four counties, escalating a brewing political showdown ahead of the November election.
www.cnn.com www.cnn.com

They are doing this intentionally to create a controversy over mail-in voting before the election.

This "ballot harvesting" is an intentional strategy. You guys really should read this:


Video of closed door session of conservative group Council for National Policy. In which they openly admit to trying to suppress mail-in ballots this election and say numerous completely batshit things.

So ... Some Republicans are breaking the law; Everyone knew some Republicans were going to break laws in this election. They’ve said it openly.

And this is how they break the law and get away with it. We’re talking about how “these Republicans” put out those illegal ballot boxes. But for a criminal case against this, they need to know which specific individuals were involved. Who came up with this plan? Who paid for these ballot boxes? Who decided where to place them? Who put them out on the street? Those individuals are the ones who could be arrested for committing crimes but we don’t know their names.

This is how a big criminal organization like the Mafia operates. You know the organization is committing crimes but you can’t arrest the organization. And it’s very hard to track down the specific individuals within the organization and determine which specific crimes they committed. And the Mafia doesn’t have the advantage of controlling the investigations into its criminal activities like the Republicans have.

It’s three weeks before the election. No investigation is going to be able to make arrests in that time period. And if the Republicans stay in power, they’ll be in a position to squash any investigation. So the voters need to decide if they want to let a criminal organization continue to run the country.

Has it already been mentioned that Wisconsin is allowing the packers stadium to be used as a polling place but is not allowing the bucks to do the same with their stadium?

Can anyone think of a reason why? What’s the difference between the two in terms of demographics?
