The Republican Attack on the Right to Vote

Watching the GOP roll back voting rights its hard to believe that they claim its not a racist thing but a chance to make the votes all legal. As the world looks on and sees America putting back the clock by refusing to embrace the non ethnic population.
As the GOP put the rights of those they consider to be second class citizens they might just as well endorse the Klu Klux Klan.
What is totally amazing to an observer is they way Trump is against all immigrants and yet he himself is from immigrant stock - German, and two of his wives from Eastern Europe and yet he was able to bend the rules to allow Melania's parents citizenship.
As the GOP dance to the tune of Trumps pipers they are doing so in a desperate attempt to overthrow real law and real order and attempting to undermine the constitution.
Of course, the GOP will claim that all this is happening under state law and cannot be undermined from Washington, that states should pass laws as they see fit.
Jim Crow
who?
what?

"Unfortunately, Cyber Ninjas CEO Doug Logan and two other members of the five-person audit team have tested positive for COVID-19 and are quite sick..."

The GQP stupidity continues in Wisconsin indulging a 10 month long geriatric tantrum.

Reince Priebus says $680,000 or more will be spent on Wisconsin 2020 election review​

“Wisconsin lawmakers will spend hundreds of thousands to review the presidential election and will soon issue subpoenas as part of their effort, according to Reince Priebus, the former head of the state and national arms of the Republican Party.”

“Priebus told Bannon that Republicans who control the Legislature had agreed to "fully fund" an investigation that would cost "about $680,000, at least to start." He did not say whether the funds would come from taxpayers, donors or a mix of the two.”

Forget about the steal, STOP THE STUPID. You don’t reward a mad dog foaming at the mouth.

Why is THE PARTY THAT ACCUSES DEMOCRATS OF ELECTION FRAUD SO FULL OF FRAUDSTERS?
​

Even BEFORE Trump, the reports of right winged election trickery and FRAUD had already become LEGEND.

From the fraudulent and subsequently DISCREDITED ACORN video produced by right winged fraudster James O'Keefe that resulted in the unwarranted defunding of that civil rights organization, to right winged gerrymandered districts that give Republicans WINS WITH A MINORITY VOTE.

From right winged tricksters in Florida and Virginia trying to fool and intimidate people into not voting, to McCrae Dowless, a North Carolina right winged political operative who filled out and mailed in incomplete or blank ballots from both his office and home.

From right winged disenfranchisement of hundreds of thousands of voters via purges repeatedly found to be "in error" to Trump's own attempt to DELIBERATELY SABOTAGE THE POSTAL SYSTEM. They are unparalleled in their conniving TREACHERY.

Top 11 Republican Dirty Tricks ... SO FAR - People For the American Way

Among them OF LATE are Republican operatives Jack Burkman and Jacob Wohl, who are reportedly being hit with a $5.1 Million Fine by the FCC for unauthorized scam robocalls prior to the 2020 elections (and that's not all these... guys... have be up to. Look em up).

And then there's Alex Rodríguez, who's recently pled guilty to accepting money to run as a spoiler candidate, to siphon off votes from then-incumbent Democrat Sen. Jose Javier Rodríguez. Rodríguez reportedly got about 6,000 votes in the race in which Republican Ileana García defeated the Democrat incumbent by just 32 votes.

In other voter suppression news, magas...... are reportedly PISSED 'cause an all-GOP Mesa County commission voted unanimously to extend Dominion's contract (you see, in Bizarro world, the machines are anti-Trump)

while federal defense contractors who made a show of dropping support for GOP supporters of INSURRECTION have now decided to support 'em ANYWAY. figures.

Speaking of Mesa County, their pillow guy at last report was still hiding out Tina Peters, a Mesa County clerk and recorder who's under federal investigation for "leaking" election data, security passwords, and allowing an unauthorized third party (reportedly 8chan/8kun’s Ron Watkins no less), access to the secure facility, where the county’s voting machines were stored.

And who THEN COPIED sensitive data from those machines. (but somehow NONE of them are LOCKED UP).

Oh... and have ya heard. The Cyber Ninjas (fr)auditors of the Arizona fiasco supposedly can't yet release their... "findings"... because they caught Covid... supposedly.

Convenient, seeing as how last Friday, an Arizona COURT had to rule the records being held by these.... people... were PUBLIC and had to be disclosed, and how BIPARTISAN Arizona election officials have ALREADY launched a scathing REBUKE of the so-called "audit."

Arizona elections officials launch bipartisan assault on GOP audit | TheHill

Two of Arizona’s top election administrators have issued scathing indictments of a contractor who audited millions of ballots cast in the state’s largest county.

Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D) and Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer (R) in separate reports castigated the inspection itself as deeply flawed — so much so that Hobbs argued it did not even merit the term “audit.”

“Despite frequent references to this review as an audit, the exercise undertaken by the Arizona Senate’s Florida-based contractor, Cyber Ninjas, fails to meet industry standards for any credible audit, much less for an election audit,” Hobbs’s office wrote.

“The Senate’s contractors demonstrated a lack of understanding of election processes and procedures both at a state and county level.”

It has been revealed that Wisconsin taxpayers will be paying for the $680,000 Republican Trump temper tantrum farce. Trump still owes loads of money all over the state for rallies and previous audits. Once a progressive state, it is now a regressive state—the casualty of a corrupt Republican legislature and minority rule. Remember Scott Walker?

What Gableman doesn't say reveals truths about Wisconsin election audit - Wisconsin Examiner​

Former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman (R) sat down for his first television interview on his super-sized role in the election investigation since Speaker Robin Vos upgraded him to “special counsel” giving him the power to hire and have free rein in determining what the “Arizona-style audit” he will oversee actually does.

However, in response to repeated questions by the tenacious Up Front host Adrienne Pedersen, he never answered what the investigation will be doing on a daily basis or what evidence there is that it is needed.

He also had to justify and parse his statements from when he was speaking at a Stop the Steal pro-Trump rally where he mentioned a “stolen election.”

Despite the fact that the investigation will be funded by taxpayers, he said it would be conducted in secret until he unveils the report when it is done: “While the investigation is live, it’s going to be extremely confidential.”

No surprise there! The real fraud is the audit. Like other states that have dealt with this petulant stupidity of Trump and the GQP, voting machines will be compromised at great cost to the state and taxpayers. Not to overlook votes being compromised, Apparently, voters will also be questioned. All this over a delusional sociopathic narcissist? Keep an eye on Brown county (Green Bay) and Milwaukee county. They are the current targets.
