Please stop posting the following idiotic bullshit: [View all] True Blue Door Nov 2014 OP

So what is being done, publicly and vocally, about voter suppression villager Nov 2014 #1

That's one of the questions we all need to ask loudly. True Blue Door Nov 2014 #4

My question is... busterbrown Nov 2014 #30

It's not just fraud, it's also vote suppression. True Blue Door Nov 2014 #31

Suppression and Fraud in my mind are the same.. busterbrown Nov 2014 #33

I say they're committing treason, but whatever we call it, we need to know about it. True Blue Door Nov 2014 #37

If DOJ cannot or will not, then it has to be done at the state level. MADem Nov 2014 #42

I don't think we need lawsuits yet. The documentation is public. True Blue Door Nov 2014 #51

Where are all the journalists? Most of them seem to be Special Interest Scribes, and MADem Nov 2014 #54

Yes, but I have a broad definition of journalist. True Blue Door Nov 2014 #68

Even in the non-traditional arenas, though, the "journalists" are few and far between. nt MADem Nov 2014 #72

That's a good attitude to take leading up to the election True Blue Door Nov 2014 #9

Sorry, I don't believe we lost because of voter fraud/trickery in most cases. Hoyt Nov 2014 #11

Your belief one way or another in the absence of facts is totally irrelevant. True Blue Door Nov 2014 #12

Fine, you chalk it up to fraud/trikery and see where it gets us. Hoyt Nov 2014 #13

I can't chalk it to up to anything yet, because we don't have the facts. True Blue Door Nov 2014 #24

The OP essentially begs the question, anyway. Dreamer Tatum Nov 2014 #139

Excellent rant, True Blue Door. It needs to be said, and repeated.... Hekate Nov 2014 #8

Sorry. But a vast amount of Americans ARE stupid. Drunken Irishman Nov 2014 #10

Your opinion about the intelligence of other Americans is totally irrelevant. True Blue Door Nov 2014 #16

Obviously not - since you felt the need to make an entire thread on it. Drunken Irishman Nov 2014 #17

This thread is about focusing on the legitimacy of the election True Blue Door Nov 2014 #23

Good post malaise Nov 2014 #29

Excellent post. And if we don't push against voter suppression we lose in 2016. nt kelliekat44 Nov 2014 #32

There won't even be an election in 2016 if these tactics stand. True Blue Door Nov 2014 #40

Sorry, don't accept your narrative angrychair Nov 2014 #39

You can cite anecdotes where you don't think suppression happened. True Blue Door Nov 2014 #41

I like your vigor angrychair Nov 2014 #45

But they are anecdotes, by definition. It's data that doesn't add up to a whole picture. True Blue Door Nov 2014 #47

You invalidate your own argument angrychair Nov 2014 #58

I'm not interested in hearing excuses for not dealing with this. True Blue Door Nov 2014 #60
