Instead of throwing women under the bus, in a misguided attempt to appeal to anti-abortion people,

89. While I don't disagree, I have one major question ... WHERE ARE THESE PEOPLE?!?

Assuming all this caging and exclusion and BS ID laws are affecting the ability of people to vote, AND once you've been allowed to vote (given the anonymity of the ballot once created, hence there's no way to 'discard' improper votes after the fact) ... where is the outcry from the people who went to their polling place on Election Day, prepared to vote, believing they had the legal right to do so ... who were then turned away?

Why haven't these people RALLIED, and ORGANIZED, and made some attempt to get RECOGNIZED ... for having their franchise taken away?

If it affected so many ... where the hell ARE these people?

And why don't they DO SOMETHING?

I'm here to tell ya, if *I* had been turned away despite feeling *I* had a legal right to vote, I'd be raising holy hell.

I've seen very very little from anyone who was personally affected by these GOP shenanigans that we all believe was so incredibly impactful and profound ... of course I don't trust the MSM to report any of this shit, but where are all the stories on DU of people being turned away at the polls? Where are they on Kos? HuffPo? RawStory? MediaMatters?

Friggin' Anywhere?

The people that run the elections cannot just discount your vote after they let you do it, so these people's votes could not have been thrown out 'after the fact' and 'without their knowledge' ... unless they were all just allowed to vote provisionally, and decided that 'that was enough for them' even though those votes are basically never counted.

And if THAT were the case, given we're talking <80K votes in MI, PA, and WI that swung the election, why hasn't OUR SIDE raised holy hell over validating and counting all Provisional Ballots in at least these 3 states? If the BS the GOP pulled was as profound as people make it out to be, couldn't there be +80K net 'valid' Hillary ballots in the entirely of the 3 states that are in question?

Anyways ... where are the affected people?
