If you cannot win by ideas, then lie, cheat and suppress the vote:

[Rye Catcher]

You just described the Democrat Party to a "T"

While simultaneously adhering to your Marxist motto.....

"Blame your enemy for that which you are guilty"

LOL Face the facts, and stop echoing the lies of trump and the propaganda and machinations of you and his fellow travelers.

Can you even articulate one example of “voter suppression”? One instance of a voter not being able to vote, due to GOP policies?

It's self evident! I don't count the numbers of voters who have been denied the right to vote.

1. When you are black and have traditionally been bused to the polls every sunday for years, and then can't when the Red State Governor signs a bill to close the polls every sunday.
2. When you are old or infirm and cannot drive to a polling place which has been moved further away, and requires several transfers to and back by public transportation to their home suppresses their vote.
2a. Unless Public Transportation is free, then it becomes a poll tax.

Only two examples of voter suppression, to post more would be a waste of my time since the readers who support vote suppression won't even read #1 or #2.

1) well election day is on a Tuesday....so not sure what's being closed on a Sunday
2) ask for an absentee ballot, every state allows absentee voting in those cases.

More bureaucracy adds more suppressions.

Don't disagree...that's why i oppose this new Dem law that created another level.

But we have had absentee ballots for some time....with that said, in your hypo how was the infirm that can't drive getting to the polling place before the polling place was moved further away? Why can't they use the same method they used before?

1. Election Day is never on Sunday.

2. The government is not required to transport you to a polling site. By this reasoning, driving yourself to a polling place be considered a “polling tax” since gasoline costs money. If someone uses buses for everyday needs anyway, then the government isn’t obligated to pay for it when they use it to vote. Even if you walk, is the government going to have to pay for your fuel, that being calories/food?

Sophistry ^^^, " the use of fallacious arguments, especially with the intention of deceiving"

In other words you can’t refute it, and you cannot show one example of someone being “suppressed” from voting by GOP policies.

Only Republicans have to prove voter fraud or suppression.

Democrats can just accuse and get their way

14th Amendment:

SECTION ONE: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

SECTION FIVE: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

Isn't that precious. Democrats do know there is a Constitution.

Who knew? But I guess they use it only when they can use it as a weapon, and basically ignore it the rest of the time.

Texas GOP launches avalanche of bills to curtail voting

Lawmakers are seeking to limit early voting and tighten ID requirements, among other restrictive measures.

www.yahoo.com

Voter suppression has been the strategy of Republican Party (RP) for the last quarter century. Beginning with Gingrich the GOP had begun a quest to be the singular political party to be the majority in the Supreme Court, The Congress and the White House.

The RP, once a center right party has drifted away from supporting Democracy and the Right to Vote to an authoritarian one now known as Trumpism. Trump and his loyal followers are opposed to democracy and seeks to overturn the values and principles which were left to us by the Framers of the Constitution.

The last four years under trump have been tumultuous, chaotic and divisive: A period when racism came out of the closet and once again raised its ugliness; When a lame duck Congress led by Ryan passed a tax bill which gave 2/3 to the elite, and 1/3 (to sunset in 2026) to the masses; When we have seen mass demonstrations, some peaceful and some violent in our streets and horribly in the our Nation's Capitol Building; When a disease killed more than 500,000; When The President mislead the public time and time again ignoring the science and medicine sending more families into grief and poverty.

Well the Dems got the lie and cheat down pat. Oh and mail in ballots sure helped their cause. LOL

“I don't want everybody to vote... As a matter of fact, our leverage in the election quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down.”

― Paul Weyrich

Who's he?

So dead pastor? ok....I am sure that's true for people that want very religious Govt

It could also be true for people who want to win elections too.
If less voting favors one party over another, he makes a salient point in general. IMO

Read the post above, the 14th Amendment in post #36.

"No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States'".

See this link:

Privileges and Immunities Clause

www.law.cornell.edu

In short: "The Privileges and Immunities Clause of Article IV, Section 2 of the Constitution states that "the citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states." This clause protects fundamental rights of individual citizens and restrains state efforts to discriminate against out-of-state citizens. However, the Privileges and Immunities Clause extends not to all commercial activity, but only to fundamental rights."

One more ambiguity in our Constitution, and one more reason to make Presidential Appointments to the Federal Court System as well as the Supreme Court, when confirmed by The Senate to serve 10 years upon appointment, and to be confirmed again by We the People in a referendum.

You are confused, again. The Constitution has a number of ambiguities and have been argued since it was in the process of being ratified.

"Large corporations, including Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines and Aflac, came out to stand up against voting restrictions measures by Georgia's Republican Party.

"Voting is a foundational right in America, and we will continue to work to advance voting rights and access in Georgia and across the country," Coca-Cola said in a statement reported by CNBC Sunday. "We support efforts by the Metro Atlanta Chamber and the Georgia Chamber of Commerce to help facilitate a balanced approach to the election bills that have been introduced in the Georgia Legislature this session."

"The ultimate goal should be fair, secure elections where access to voting is broad-based and inclusive,"...

"Aflac shared Coca-Cola's sentiments, saying "the right to vote in national, state and local elections is the cornerstone of democracy.""

It really cracks me up when the partisan loons don’t see the irony in some of the stuff they post.

I don't see democrats suppressing the votes but the republican sure do.

Southern U.S. states have closed 1,200 polling places in recent years: rights group

States across the American South have closed nearly 1,200 polling places since the Supreme Court weakened a landmark voting-discrimination law in 2013, according to a report released by a civil-rights group on Tuesday.

Any proof of cheating with mail in voting on any large scale?

We need background checks and voter ID. Votes do more violence than guns

STATEMENT: "We need background checks and voter"

RESPONSE: County Clerks in most states are responsible to vet their voters. Do you want big government to take on these duties. Makes you into a bigger hypocrite if you do.

STATEMENT: "Votes do more violence than guns"

RESPONSE: Given the fact that 500,000 died in America under trump's watch you might be correct; half a million dead are more than killed in WW I, WW II, Vietnam and at the destruction of the Twin Towers.
