The Democrats have plenty of time to organize their own army of “poll watchers”. Stationing some New Black Panthers in repubulican district and see what happens.BTW the infamous New Black Panther incident in the 2008 election was set in a 99.9% Afro-American precent and they were there for only 20 minutes. Their stated purpose was to protect black voters from republican intimidation.
The GOP is doing everything it can to destroy democracy. They want the USA to be like China or North Korea, ruled by one party because all others are outlawed.
It’s disturbing that the profile of those that believe Trump won the election- white, male, older, less educated – is the same profile as the Russians that believe Ukraine is full of Nazis.
GOP recruits army of poll watchers to fight voter fraud no one can prove exists
Republicans are recruiting an estimated 50,000 volunteers to act as “poll watchers” in November, part of a multimillion-dollar effort to police who votes and how.
Matt Gaetz thinks voters should carry guns to the polls to protect from ‘intimidation’
‘A perverted view of justice’ How Bill Barr exposed himself after the Durham investigation flop
The case that Durham pursued for three years against campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann went down in flames in just six hours, yet Barr asserted afterward that it was still an important pursuit.
As Milbank wrote, Barr pursued the case based on “innuendo” despite members of his own DOJ telling him there was nothing there.
“The day after these twin repudiations of Barr’s fantasies, then he explained himself on Fox News , by arguing that Durham’s failure in court was in fact a triumph. ‘While he did not succeed in getting a conviction from the D.C. jury,’ Barr said, ‘I think he accomplished something far more important,’” Milbank wrote before sarcastically adding, “This is about as convincing as the Washington Nationals saying, ‘While we did not succeed in scoring a run for 27 innings, we think we accomplished something far more important.’ In a courtroom, a prosecutor either wins or loses.”
Keep in mind that these voter intimidation laws were to “protect the integrity of each election” because of “non-existent voter fraud”. Actually, I believe that’s are desperate steps for the minority to try to win elections, however unlawful.
The first trial run is going to be in August primaries in Metro Detroit.Maybe former Detroit Police Chief Craig will volunteer as an election worker since he submitted too many fraudulent signatures to be on the ballot for governor.
The traitor Navarro was arrested for contempt of Congress, whereas he should’ve been locked up months ago for being a traitor ! Hell, in the book somebody wrote for him, he confessed his treason! Traitor Trump himself should be locked up—and should’ve been locked up decades ago, for being a criminal along with his father Fred. (Their tax and wire frauds were worth around four hundred million dollars, which back then was pretty impressive money.)
PA-Gov: Doug Mastriano’s® Plan To “Clean The Vote” Is Straight Out Of The Jim Crow Playbook
In a gubernatorial primary debate in April, Mastriano said that, if elected, he would require voters to “re-register. We’re going to start all over again.”
In an interview on the conservative broadcaster Newsmax three days after the primary election, Mastriano suggested that it is a step that his appointed secretary of state can take without approval by the Legislature.
“We might have to reset, as far as registration, start that whole process over here,” Mastriano said. “There’s still a lot of dead on the rolls, and what have you, and there’s ghost phantom voters that we found, as well, at various address.”
Southern states, following Reconstruction, imposed annual re-registration requirements, with some of those laws lasting until at least 1971. The laws were regarded as one of the mechanisms used by those states to try to keep Black people from voting.
In fact, required annual re-registration was a favorite Jim Crow tactic to keep as many Black voters off the rolls as possible. These laws were struck down in 1971 in a decision that cited research showing they suppressed the vote particularly among poor and middle class people, as well as people of color.
