The GOP war on voting - Page 118 - Politics and Economics

Yes I think so. Still the number seems suspiciously high to me. I don't know though, it's not like this reveals any particular malfeasance. It just seems odd.

I registered to vote here in Alabama earlier this year, and this might be the first election I ever vote in.

Maybe the high number is because they decided to count me a couple million times. Would be sick.

But more seriously, I would not be the least bit surprised if it ever came out that the Alabama establishment was rigging elections. I mean, beyond the usual voter suppression. We are sneaky corrupt. Outsiders think they know how corrupt we are, but they see the top of the iceberg. We're just better at it than the states that get the reputations.

This looks like good news but who knows how much irreversible damage has already been done. How a **** face like Trump can claim rigging when his party is actively engaging in federally illegal voter fraud is complete insanity

If the Voting Rights Act hadn't been gutted by a conservative Supreme Court, they would have required federal preclearance for a lot of these stunts. And they wouldn't have gotten it.

Replace 'voter fraud' with 'black people' and it reads the exact same.

JFC - they don't even try to justify it's about anything other than voter suppression.

Take the time to read this heartbreaking story today if you can. It's short but incredibly meaningful.

They stole this idea from the movie Free State of Jones. Voting while black in Georgia, 5 years. I believe that's the city dblbarrlJ is from.

AZ law against allowing others to drive your vote to the poll allowed to stand thanks to scotus

No need to worry about voting HRC though

I was surprised that was legal at any point.

How do you know who filled out the ballot? Do you sign it in a sealed envelope?

Yes. Signature has to match the one on file. Sometimes have to provide a copy of your ID too.

Also, your concern also applies to mail-in ballots, no?

I guess it's cool if it works like mail in ballots.

I wonder if I should do something to check my signature. I've been mailing ballots in for like 20 years and there's a pretty decent chance my signature has changed.

Oregon Secretary of State Jeanne P. Atkins said Saturday the state’s GOP has acknowledged making automated calls that falsely told voters their ballots won’t count.

Republicans like to cheat as much as humanly possible, because what do you do if an election is stolen? Have a second vote? LOL, this is America, winner take all, even if they really lost.

Hence why Comey did what he did. You don't get a do-over where he didn't abuse the power of his office if Trump wins. You get nothing. He's fine with cheating to screw the country over, like many, many inside the GOP.

They don't check unless their becomes a reason too. Like checks.
