Republicans Getting Away With Massive Voter Suppression And We Do Nothing - We Will Lose Again

[SeaDoo77]

I mean it.

If hundreds of thousands of people can't vote, we can't possibly win.

We need a full on assault on the evil scum doing voting suppression to even have a chance.

It doesn't matter if 20% more Americans want to vote Democrat if they can't.

We need to GO TO WAR TO STOP THIS NOW.

W A R !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. K&R. Our anti-vote suppression effort should be as vigorous and sustained as the GOTV effort

[elleng]

4. YES!

[SeaDoo77]

5. WE NEED TO GO TO WAR

Or we will not be allowed to win.

Someday you will need a hunting license or a concealed weapons permit to vote.

If we let them.

And it looks like we would.

[sheshe2]

13. So

5. WE NEED TO GO TO WAR

Or we will not be allowed to win.

I am all for a win on voting. However what is this war you ask for, how will we fight it, who will run it and how will we win it? Platitudes will not get us anywhere, we need more than that.

What we need is people to get off their collective asses and knock on doors, and get people to VOTE!. Nothing will change if we do not vote. GOTV and vote Democratic.

Someday you will need a hunting license or a concealed weapons permit to vote.

If we let them.

And it looks like we would.

Wow. You went from bold...we need to go to war, without a plan to do so, then in one short OP/ comment you said we are wimps because we will let them win without a fight. "If we let them. And it looks like we would."

This is Democratic Underground, yes it is a place for discussion, however it is not a place for defeatist attitudes nor a place to trash DEMOCRATS.


GOTV
VOTE DEMOCRATIC!

[bettyellen]

34. HRC formed a super pac to deal w this- yet some say we are doing nothing - just like last year-

The ignorant loudly trash Dems because of their own ignorance.

[sheshe2]

37. You are correct, bettyellen.

Makes you wonder sometimes...or not.

[Maraya1969]

6. WHAT DO WE DO?????????????????????????????????????????

[SeaDoo77]

9. Expose Voter Suppression And Relentlessly Attack Scumbags Doing It

Full court press 24 / 7.

Every Democrat in the state will relentlessly attack, and demand prosecution.

Lawsuits by the tens of thousands.

Anyone who has had their right to vote has standing I would assume.

Sue the scum personally.

by the thousand.

[Amaryllis]

21. Support Verified Voting. And get on their email list. They are doing fantastic work:

https://www.verifiedvoting.org/
And spread the word about them.

[Squinch]

32. Thanks for this.

[diva77]

27. Hold elections officials accountable - demand transparent elections, i.e.

paper ballots, hand counted at the precinct level. Demand that computerized election equipment -- DREs, optiscans, central tabulators, etc. be banned -- they have been banned in other countries, such as Germany, due to nontransparency.

Read up on election fraud at sites like gregpalast.com, VerifiedVoting.org, www.unhackthevote.com, or http://electiondefensealliance.org/(doesn't seem like it has been very active lately, but some great academic papers analyzing election results).

Show up (with groups - the more, the merrier), for certification hearings for "voting" equipment and enter testimony into the public record to protest certification of this corporate-controlled, proprietary computerized equipment that mars election transparency. Also demand that subcontractors such as Crosscheck be banned from contracts for computerized voter rolls.

Voting machine vendors have unlimited access to elections officials, and they make use of it. Elections officials need to be hearing from citizens.

Write letters to the media about it.

Hopefully this will get you started. There is so much to do!!!! If you have limited time, at least try to contribute to the above mentioned websites if you're able...

[RDANGELO]

7. Here is the problem that Democrats have on this issue.

Most people are not against photo id. laws; they don't realize that they are being used to keep people from voting. What the Dems need to do is, instead of just being against the laws, is come out with an alternative that projects the same election security ,but does not deny some of the ability to vote.

[SeaDoo77]

10. The Constitution Didn't Demand People Who Voted Had Picture ID

Push back.

HARD.

It is voter suppression.

If you are you, you should be able to vote in your district unopposed, even if you lost your wallet. Or had a traffic ticket you couldn't pay. Or had your wallet stolen.

[GulfCoast66]

12. Yeah, well, it did not let women or blacks vote either

I read lots of things on DU about voter suppression. And it may well be true.

But where are the articles about people showing up and not being allowed to vote. Even a provisional ballot? Not necessarily doubting they exist but I just do not see them linked to here.

There is so much hyperbole on DU and every where now that I, a science fan am looking for proof. Not antic dotes.

[SeaDoo77]

18. Dems Don't Complain Or Fight Hard Enough

Voter suppression makes people angry. Angry people would walk through fire to vote.

I wish "our leaders" understood this.

Too many who think like us don't vote.

[Pacifist Patriot]

29. First of all, we need the right to vote.

8. They get away with literally rigging elections.

[brooklynite]

11. That's why we lost the Alabama Senate seat?

"we're doomed!" posts don't add to the discussion.

[SeaDoo77]

14. A Minority In Alabama Was 8 Times As Likely To Stand In Line Over 1 Hour To Vote

In Alabama.

Sure we can overcome.

But we shouldn't have to.

[sheshe2]

15. That minority was...

Let’s put it this way: Using AL.com’s raw vote totals and the Washington Post’s exit polls—if every woman in the state assembled themselves and each one of Jones’ black female supporters stood beside a white woman who voted for him, there would still be 82,278 black women standing by themselves wondering “Where the white women at?”


Perhaps those that are not suppressed should get off their ass and vote...black women did.

[SeaDoo77]

16. But Their God Satan Said To Vote For Child Molester

Says so in bible.

[mythology]

17. There was a time when a minority would get hit in the head with clubs or killed for trying to vote

What is and what should be aren't always the same. Sometimes you have to overcome. It's been done before. We can do it now.

[bettyellen]

35. And today they have LEO waiting w warrants ourself the polling place.

[Skittles]

23. LOL, WE

you just don't miss a chance, do you

[Mr.Bill]

19. I don't know how it works in other states,

but in California you can sign up at the registrar's office to work at a polling place. I did it for over five years, and eventually was an inspector, that's the title of the person in charge of a polling place. One person can make sure nothing bad goes on at a polling place, regardless of their position. It's a paid job here, too.

Vote by mail if you can. Everyone who votes by mail means one less person in line at the polling place. And your vote goes directly to the registrar's office which means no one at the polling place can interfere with it or refuse you.

[47of74]

20. My dream 28th Amendment would list voter suppression and electoral fraud as capital crimes...

....and require life imprisonment at the minimum.

[George II]

22. So what do you suggest we do?

[Demsrule86]

31. Jill Stein happened...we Had Nader in 2000...then elections are close ...they steal it...but lets

show up and drive out the GOP...we have no power to change state law unless we live there so worrying about something that can't be changed is a waste of time.

[virgogal]

25. OK,I give up. Where did voter suppression occur?

I read a newspaper every day----Boston Globe,and saw nothing about it,

Where? How?

[diva77]

28. go to www.gregpalast.com for starters -- lots to read up on there

glad you asked about this --the media doesn't really cover it, and most of the reporters who try to have such a poor understanding of it that they usually mangle the facts...

[virgogal]

33. Thanks----will do.

[Gabi Hayes]

26. Oh, look

Also gerrymandering, along with the perhaps the most potent.....

36. K&R. But people don't want to consider that their oh-so-precious voting system is a sham.
