SCOTUS upholds Ohio Voter law

Actually I did make that search and I found stories affirming the existence of such voters from CBS, NBC, Chicago Trib, NPR, Salon, Breitbart, Denver Post, Polifact, Wikipedia and that just on page 1. If you would like to see my results you can use the internet to do so cuz I ain't going to post my results for you and I don't care how much you whine about it...in fact I want you to whine about it.

 

The electoral system is designed to punish third parties. A two party system is a statistical inevitability of a first past the post system in a presidential representative republic.

 

Post a link and I will be glad to read up. It's simple etiquette. I thought Swedes were polite types!

 

Swedes might be but I wouldn't know.

 

What does first past the post mean?

 

the lesson here is that conservative justices will support removing people from the voting roles even if they have the right to vote. That should not shock anyone.

 

You mark one candidate on a ballot and the one with the most votes wins, as opposed to preferential ranking systems or transferable vote systems

 

I'm sorry -- must have been thinking of someone else.
You:
Name one thing that I said that isn't true.

1: This is essentially demanding people vote regardless of how they feel about the candidates.
2: Two party system run by private companies.
3: Making voting more difficult has been a GOP goal for many years because it adversely affects minorities and the poor,
4: This is basically disenfranchisement of those that rent, the indigent, workers that travel frequently,
5: The Supreme Court has now basically given a green light to a soft removal of voting rights
6: ...this is a GOP bill. It disenfranchises minorities and the poor disportionately.

You cannot show any of these statements to be true. Onus is on you.

 

They could turn in a blank ballot.

 

Given that you can now lose your right to vote in Ohio, a republican state, because you fail to get the mail (or the post office loses it) I think this is pretty well established.

Making voting more difficult has been a GOP goal for many years because it adversely affects minorities and the poor,

Not that there was any doubt after all the other laws passed by republicans that make it more difficult to vote.

 

Exactly. The GOP knows these "rules" they try to enact will disenfranchise minorities and the poor the most and those groups tend to vote DEM. There have been several members of the GOP that have straight-up admitted that. It's shameless.

 

Why in the world would you want a person to go through this step? It's ridiculous.

 

1. They are demanding you vote OR you will be taken off the voting rolls.
2.Both parties are slaves to donors and lobbyist. There are some honest politicians but most vote for the interests of donors and not constituents.
3.This article lays it out pretty well with fact-based conclusions. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/11/7/13545718/voter-suppression-early-voting-2016
4.Obviously those that rent, are indigent or travel frequently may miss a letter telling them that they need to re-register.
5.The SCOTUS just upheld this law the thread is about. A law that will take voters off rolls needlessly.
6.See #3.

I'm in a hurry so please call me on it if you see bullshit, lol.

 

As a protest. It is quite common in countries with rigged elections.

 

O.K. I still don't know I should have to do it. I feel no need to protest in that way. I'm not sure why you even brought it up.

 

Got it

 

I brought it up as an alternative to voting for one of the candidates in order to maintain one's registration.

 

Does this mean dead people will lose their right to vote? No wonder the Democrats are upset.

 

Why? Shouldn't there be some personal responsibility involved?

You seem to be claiming that minorities and the poor are too stupid to register to vote.

 

Really, weve been over this before last week.

They don't take your right to vote, you still can, just got to re-register. But I see you are just skewing the words and being misleading.

 

You're whining about something that isn't supportable. There are always other than R and D candidates in federal elections. I care not that you might not think they are appropriate or competitive. They are still available for you to condescend to vote for, are they not?

The elephant in the room isn't that the GOP want to make voting more difficult. That's just whitewash for the progressive plan to allow any or all to vote whether they live there or not, are legal or not, and you don't care because you believe ultimately only in the power of the plantation you wish for.

 

265 votes? Do you realize how insignificant that is? And how did this happen? I didn't see anything about the avenue in which these votes were cast.

 

Predictable reply. The reason this guy wants dead voters to remain on the roles is so the democrat party can vote them. That's all there is too it.

 

It has been admitted by GOP members that these stricter voting laws are being presented for one purpose: to disenfranchise voters that predominantly lean democrat. They said as much!
