Biden to sign order expanding voting rights on Bloody Sunday anniversary

Illegals do vote, but only in certain cities that allow them to vote for things like city council or school board members. Only citizens can vote in national elections.

The GOP has been a minority party for years.

The only demographic with which Republicans are growing is white men. They can fix this one of two ways:

1. Do the work required to change policies/ideology/platform to appeal to more voters, like the independents who lean right, young voters, etc.

2. Cheat. Gerrymander like hell to keep House seats under GOP control, and do whatever you can possibly get away with to supress the vote in those districts you know are not for you, primarily minority districts.

Guess which option they've chosen.

 

You feel horrible as a white person based on the OP?

My guess your horrible feeling has nothing at all with being white.
For I as a white person, feel great.

 

Republicans try all they can to guarantee they get as many votes as possible.
But it seems they only have 1 method to be able to do that. Make it so people can't vote.

Why not put forth policies people want? Then the republicans won't have to worry who votes.
What are republicans afraid of? That their policies are so bad, many won't vote for them if as many people as possible of legal voting age actually vote?


Are you personally scared of voting rights?

 

I guess this post answers my previous post to you.

You want to restrict people from voting. How unAmerican that is.

 

What fair and just election?

 

Which shows you that more voting rights isn't a ploy by dems for more votes.
For if your post is accurate, limiting the uneducated from voting means a republican couldn't win. Which goes against the argument dems want more voters to get more dem voters. I disagree with you.
So why would you be against more people voting if they elect republicans?

 

Which name was that?
It should be headline news of the names that got counted that a signature didn't match.
Post the names.

 

Republican presidents typically give away the most money, at least in non wartime eras. So your post is not accurate.

 

Yes. Armslist.com.

 

My post is accurate if you account for the dramatic growth in future Democratic voters who will undoubtedly require Government assistance.

 

Voting rights don't need to be "expanded".

If you are a citizen and can prove it, you have the right to vote.

No one can stand in front of a polling place and stop anyone from voting.

Democrats want to allow illegals to vote because they know they will vote Democrat so they purposely try to find ways to allow cheating in order for them to vote.

I am still waiting for one single American citizen to prove they were prevented from voting in an election.

And none of this "We all know it happened" bullshit.

Names, locations and dates.

 

Showing a photo ID to vote isn't racism. People have photo IDs and show them in all kinds of places. Liquor stores, airports, medical offices, etc. Please people stop equating showing a photo ID with racism. It cheapens the term.

 

If you live in a cave ON PRIVATE PROPERTY no.. If you step on a road, sidewalk, sit in a park or use anything maintained by local and federal tax money then YES, you need to pay tax's..

 

So you're ok with taxation without representation? Bunch of old guys some time back got real pissed off about that sort of thing.

 

Those who can’t vote due to supposedly “racist” policy, don’t pay any taxes anyway Sales tax doesn’t count.

 

No one eligible, is restricted from voting. People who want to vote have been voting for decades.

 

I don't think everybody has to vote but we all have the right to choose. That right should be limited to citizens who meet the eligibility requirements.

 

People who don't pay or pay very little federal income taxes in the USA, but do love paying their federal income taxes in Communist China.
Exhibit A.

 

Unfortunately, there are people of low moral character in leadership positions in the GOP who are engaging in voter suppression tactics in this country based on the lies of undocumented people voting or the vote counts are being rigged.

U.S. elections are full of roadblocks that harm people of color, the disabled, and low-income communities. Common provisions include voter ID laws, voter purges, and poll closures. On average, Black voters wait 45% longer to vote than white voters, and Latinx voters wait 46% longer. In 2017, for example, North Carolina tried to pass a voter ID policy that the Supreme Court shut down for targeting Black people with “almost surgical precision.” The issue is often the way the rules they are applied, and how they target Black people and other people of color. For example, if you close polling locations, those communities need alternatives like extended voting hours or the ability to vote by mail.

In its ruling, the appeals court said the law was intentionally designed to discriminate against black people. North Carolina legislators had requested data on voting patterns by race and, with that data in hand, drafted a law that would "target African-Americans with almost surgical precision," the court said.
The state appealed to the Supreme Court, which refused to reinstate the law in time for elections.

I think everyone who is 18 and over and not a felon already has voting rights, so "expanded" voting rights rhetoric is just political posturing, pretending that there is something to "expand" when there isn't.

The Executive Order Biden signed today is symbolic and toothless:

So that's okay. Access to voter registration is done by the counties and states. Anyone who can't figure out how to get registered and vote, is unlikely to be looking at a federal government website for information. Biden is big on "committees and plans". Bunch of pencil pushers must "get busy" writing up their plans now. I'm sure they have nothing better to do with their time.


What is unconstitutional is H.R. 1 which just passed the House. If the Senate passes it, then it will be going to court. Democrats in Congress are attempting to usurp the power to establish election laws from the 50 states (plus D.C. and territories). Woe to them if they pass this, and it happens to squeak through the courts. When Democrats change long-standing precedent, they never consider what will happen to the bar they lowered the next time Republicans are in charge.

 

Awww, how cute. You are one of those people who think that the Deep State and RINO's worked together to steal votes from you Dear Leader.

You are one of those people @AmericanNationalist wants to keep from voting, and some of us would love to just discourage.

 

Well, you're one of those people who will just have to live with it.

 

And we will continue to fight for the ill educated, even though it isn't in our best interest. You're welcome.

 

'No brain' is what the supporters of this bill are counting on.

 

I absolutely think everyone of legal age and eligibility has the right to participate in the democratic process of voting, and I believe they should make every effort to a) register to vote, b) inform themselves about the issues and the candidates, and c) exercise their right to vote. I DON'T believe they should need to be coerced into doing so. There is no need to EXPAND voting rights, everyone who is a citizen over the age of 18 has the RIGHT to register to vote and then to cast a vote. I don't believe we need to spend taxpayer dollars to sign people up to vote. If people choose not to participate, that's on them. Each eligible potential voter in every state has the same right and responsibility to vote as every other eligible voter in that state. Yes, some people have circumstances in their lives that make it more difficult or time consuming than it may be for others, such as frequent travel out of state that necessitates voting absentee, or not having a vehicle and having to take public transportation to the voter registration office or their polling place, or they may have work schedules which make it less convenient for them to vote than it is for others. It is either a priority and important to you or it isn't. If our ancestors could leave their farms and travel for hours (sometimes days) by horse and wagon to go and vote, I think our 21st century citizens can manage to exercise their already available RIGHT to vote.
