Swing States Already Purging Democrats from Voting Rolls



As of right now, both Presidential front runners have net negative favorability ratings, with Donald Trump's being worse than Hillary Clinton's. So how do Republicans think they can take this election? It's quite simple: rig the system. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

Hence, the Republican establishment's obstruction of the federal judiciary in an effort to further hobble the only institutional apparatus that offers recourse to this fraud upon the voters.

Go figure.

If the Democratic PTB didn't get a fire under their asses after the 2000 election and fight for some changes, they never will. At the time I read from several sources that Republicans had plans in place ahead of time in case the popular vote/Electoral College thing happened in Gore's favor. Had that been the case, I'm sure we'd never have heard the end of it until changes were made in favor of a strictly popular vote, as is the case for election of every other public office.

But thinking people know he has no intention of doing any of the things he is claiming. He will say anything to get elected and then he will do whatever he wants...including throwing threatening tantrums when he feels offended...using the IRS and the FBI to 'get even'. Dems should have been fighting harder to get rid of these damn voting machines and their sole corporate ownership. What has the DoJ done to prevent this type of election fraud?

This video needs to go viral!

Purging Democrats from the voting rolls must be stopped!

Vote-flipping the voting machines must be stopped!

These Republicans must NOT be allowed to steal another election!

With Antonin Scalia's death, the U.S. Supreme Court is now a 4 to 4 tie in any voting rights case brought before it, so the Democratic leadership needs to get it's shit together and
FILE LAWSUITS IN STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS TO REINSTATE IN FULL ALL ASPECTS OF THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT OF 1965.

President Obama needs to do all he can do help STOP THESE PURGES OF DEMOCRATS IN ALL STATES!!
