Honest Question For Republicans -- Why Don't You Want Minorities To Vote??

[LordBrownTrout]

Now if the belief among those conservatives from days gone by is that it is against their interests for minorities to be able to vote -- then all of these voter suppression games make sense.

However, I am told that conservatives are no longer racists -- and the party that considers themselves the party of conservatives (the republican party) -- are against racial discrimination -- if this is true, why do conservatives collectively try to disenfranchise minority voters??? No, it is not for the purpose of "voter integrity" -- that is a joke.

To claim that suppressing minority voters is done for the sake of voter integrity is claiming that minorities are the cause of rampant voter fraud -- which is easily proven false. For example, in the 2016 election -- despite all of the propaganda from republicans about wide spread voter fraud -- there were only 4 cases of voter fraud. The first case is that of Terri Lynn Rot --- she attempted to commit voter fraud -- and yes, she voted republican -- in fact, what she got caught for was voting for Trump twice -- because she bought into the "the elections are rigged" BS coming from Trump.

How about another case of voter fraud from the last elections -- the elections that supposedly had millions of illegal votes -- We have Phillip Cook -- he was also arrested for voting twice in which he claimed to be working for the Trump campaign, he wasn't.

Again, he doesn't seem to fit the conservative stereotype of the sneaky minority, invading our country and illegally voting. So I will ask again, what is it about minorities registering to vote in high numbers LEGALLY -- and voting in elections in high numbers -- LEGALLY that makes you panic and resort to trying to make it harder for them to vote??

If your answer is something along the lines of minorities tend to vote for the Democrats more because they are slaves on a plantation or something stupid like that -- where does that give anyone the right to try to suppress their vote? And did you ever stop to think that if ONLY one party is trying to suppress minority voters -- a great number of those minorities may support the party that doesn't try to suppress their vote??

I call shenanigans. The question in the thread title is not at all Honest.

Of course its not honest. He's just a partisan hack.

The GOP, as usual, overplays their hand. Their efforts at voter suppression, aided and abetted by a partisan SCOTUS (now we know why the rush on Rapey O'Kavanaugh), have made people angry. There are a lot of things you shouldn't do while angry...voting isn one of them.

Republicans seek to make that process as uncomfortable as possible
Cut down on polling places and voting machines in minority neighborhoods. Challenge the registrations of minority voters for trivial reasons, cut down or forbid early voting, encourage long lines in minority neighborhoods

Thats funny because, ive never once thought about any of those things ever in my life. Those are YOUR thoughts, not ours.

It's not about THOUGHTS Dunceboy, it's about ACTIONS.

This is what the Republicans are doing...

1. Seeking to make the voting process as uncomfortable as possible for minorities
2. Cutting down on polling places and voting machines in minority neighborhoods.
3. Challenging the registrations of minority voters for trivial reasons
4. Cutting down or forbidding early voting (just so happens that minorities tend to do a lot of early voting)
5. Encouraging long lines in minority neighborhoods

These are irrefutable FACTS.

GTFOH w/your damn feelings!

 

[Redfish]

Anyone who is entitled to vote should be able to vote.

I doubt anyone disagrees with that except for idiots who see racists under every bush and behind every tree.

So why is the republican party the ONLY party actively trying to suppress the minority vote? You seem to just dodge that part of the OP

no one is trying to suppress the minority vote. the premise of the OP is bullshit that's why no one addressed it.

What we want is for every citizen to vote, ONCE, and to prove who they are before voting, Just like they prove who they are when they pick up food stamps or welfare checks, or by booze, or drive a car, or get on a plane, or rent an apartment, or register to vote.

what exactly is wrong with showing the same ID at the voting place that you had to show to register? No one gets on the voter rolls without showing some ID. this "its racist to ask for voter ID" has always been nothing but a failed attempt to allow voter fraud.

Your assumption is an opinion not even close to a fact. It is a slander and libel. You have no inkling of what all Republicans or all of any group want. You have demonstrated your overweening ignorance with your preposterous question. Those who agree with you are putting a face on their presumptuous arrogance.

Give me a break. Minorities always go for Democrats, you know it, I know it, EVERYONE knows it, which is why Republicans would prefer that they didn't VOTE. They would get their ass's kicked in most elections this midterm if minorities showed up to vote.

Right now in Georgia--we have a major battle going on for the Governor's race. The problem is the Republican nominee for Governor is also the Secretary of State in charge of his own election, and has pulled this stunt.

Stacey Abrams, who if elected would become the first African American woman governor of any state, is running against Georgia’s Republican secretary of state, Brian Kemp. A lawsuit filed by civil rights groups on Thursday accused Kemp of seeking to disenfranchise more than 50,000 voters, up to 80% of them minority voters, by suspending voters from registration rolls if records held by various state agencies show any slight discrepancy in how a voter’s name is hyphenated, spelled or spaced. As minority leader in the Georgia house of representatives, Abrams led a lawsuit against Kemp in 2016 challenging the exact match voting regulation, which was not state law at the time. A federal judge ruled Kemp improperly cancelled 33,000 voter registrations. Abrams said on Sunday Kemp “knew” the exact match system would lead to disenfranchisement.“I would say that we have known since 2016 that the exact match system has a disproportionate effect on people of color and on women,” Abrams said. “He was sued for this exact problem.“He was forced to restore 33,000 illegally canceled registrations. And he turned around and got the state legislature to pass a law to allow him to make the same mistake again.

Except with the on-going #WalkAway movement minorities, women, etc are starting to walk away from the Democrats as their psycho extremists try to lead more and more of the party off the proverbial cliff with their deplorable behavior and calls for more violence while exposing they really don't care about their voters - it's about the power and getting it back.

You've awoken a sleeping giant (and it's pissed).--And if they're willing to freeze their behinds off at the end of January, I am certain they will be voting this midterm. Probably wouldn't miss it for the world.

Abrams may take Fulton and DeKalb counties, but the rest of the state will go for Kemp. Don't kid yourself, the citizens of Georgia are not as dumb as the dems think they are, and they are not socialists.

this is a clown show of ignorant women, the vast majority of normal intelligent American women want nothing to do with this stupidity.

 

[mikegriffith1]

I'll tell who I don't want to see vote--not that I would stop them from voting, but I would hope they would not vote: I don't want anyone to vote who can't name the three branches of the federal government, who can't name the first president, who can't name four U.S. wars, who can't name who was president during the Civil War, and who can't name the document that declared the colonies to be a separate nation from England. If they don't know those five basic facts, they have no business voting.

 

[Redfish]

Voter fraud is widespread, especially in California, but it exists in most states where Democrats prevail. It occurs mainly in large cities dominated by generations of Democrat political hacks (e.g., Chicago, Philadelphia).

Democrat governors do everything possible to prevent meaningful studies into voter fraud, because they know what the results will be.

Democrats do everything they can to promote voter fraud, sponsoring very informal and loosely organized voter registration events, promoting the use of absentee ballots, and FIGHTING TOOTH AND NAIL to prevent reasonable voter ID requirements.

These facts are so obvious that anyone claiming that "voter fraud does not exist" is necessarily a liar and not to be taken seriously.

Voter suppression exists in every Red State

prove it or STFU.
