I agree conceptually. In reality, there is no coordination between the state and federal level whatsoever, and a half assed attempt at keeping voter rolls kind of current. I am not against your proposition, there is just no political will (or money) to implement it in the US
It is obvious that only billionaires should be allowed to vote since they get the most benefit from the political system. There is no reason for anyone else to vote. The judge should have purged everyone from the voting rolls, including himself.
I just don’t understand how blanket purges make our republic any stronger? I fully support secure elections — both from foreign and domestic interference — but this just seems like an obvious attempt to disenfranchise as many voters as possible that are going to vote the wrong way. It’s the same with gerrymandering... This win by any way necessary will end up bringing our destruction imo. The fact that it is being cheered by so many on the right — is even more disturbing.
I love how you say it’s about keeping the dead off the rolls — which is absurd because they know who has died — but then end your statement with young people needing to be “motivated” to vote. Simply showing up to vote should be all the motivation required. The agenda here is clear.
"Voter Suppression".....12 months later. "NEW RECORD OF VOTING PARTICIPANTS." Yeah, every year hearing that turned voter suppression into an empty talking point that might more realistically be: "I'm too inconvenienced to sign up"(And yes, I admit it to be an inconvenience at times.) But that's the joy of voting, go through the process.
I'm more concerned with the "young people" who may be so motivated to vote that they vote twice. If they weren't planning to vote twice ---- using their old residence and again using their new residence ---- then they shouldn't mind having their names purged from old addresses. And if somehow they are purged by mistake, it is easy enough to sign up again, as stated in the article, which it appears half of the people with their panties in a wad here didn't even read. (I don't mean you, drluggit.)
anyone & everyone whom is against absolute proof of identity & elligibility to vote, is a defacto fraudster... simple as that... no question... no bs... just pure fraudsters...
Then you missed the most important part of the discussion. It's about making sure that folks in the democratic party aren't able to coopt those who are dead and replace those votes with imposters. Cause it happens, it is likely to continue happening until voter registration is tied back to real ID requirements. But that is the enemy of democratic party policy, and has been for decades.
Except the state knows who is dead — if they were just purging dead voters no one would be complaining, but they are trying to purge voters in mainly blue areas. This isn’t about securing the elections. And for the record I support a national ID — automatically issued at age 18 — that would be required to vote. The enemy of the Republican party is the youth vote. They would never again hold the presidency or the HOR.
LOL... So, your responses is going to be, but, they're only targeting the folks who are illegally abusing the system?? Thanks for that admission. I would remind you that so many used to be democrats are now republicans. It happens, you know, when you get a job, start having to pay the taxes that support all those other things that never benefit you again..... At some point, the ability of the socialist teachers unions to brainwash the kids has to be curtailed. Such a waste of their youth...
What? You obviously did not comprehend my post. That has historically occurred when someone is in their late 20’s — that trend has largely stopped. People use to have a 90%+ chance of being more successful than their parents it is now slightly under half. Adding that people now have access to unlimited data and unbiased truth the right wing propaganda is failing.
Well said... I'm for National ID as well.. Another enemy of the GOP is the educated voter... However, lost in all the IMPOTUS news this week, an appeals court put a stay on this ruling.... https://www.rollingstone.com/politi...onsin-voter-suppression-lawsuit-purge-938043/ The more I read about this story, including a feature on MSNBC today, it seems clear this was mostly yet another GOP effort to purge legit voters... SNIP “Traditionally it’s always been Republicans suppressing votes in places,” Justin Clark, one of Trump’s top re-election advisers, said at a Wisconsin chapter meeting of the Republican National Lawyers Association in December. “That’s what you’re going to see in 2020. It’s going to be a much bigger program, a much more aggressive program, a much better-funded program.” ENDSNIP
The best solution would be to have one ID for everything, freely issued to everyone and anyone, that covers driving, health care, voting, etc... Blanket purges will always have the potential for legit voters to be purged, which means they should be done carefully.
WI has at least 20-30K illegal Democrat votes in every election. It's pathetic. Time to clean it all up.
I live in Wisconsin and can speak from 1st hand experience. I have almost always lived in areas dominated by Democrats. Back in the 70's, in the medium sized town I lived in, there was a local election that was decided by fewer tha 100 votes. Both candidates were Democrats - back in those days Republicans didn't even run for local or county offices - the Democrat who lost broke the unwritten rule and challenged the result. The recount showed that his opponent had received 210 votes from deceased people. Dems were seriously pissed at the bloke who challenged the results, not the cheater. In the 90's and early 2000's I lived across the street from an elementary school where voting took place. All day long Vans would pull up and unload Democratic Party activists to vote. Apparantly the scam was they would go from ward to ward and assume the names of former residents who had either died or moved. They wouldn't be able to do that if the names were not already on the rolls. When I moved in 2008, I checked back to make sure my name was off the roll. It took me two years to get my name off that former address. It would probably still be on there had I not been proactive about it. The cheating and fraud is always done by Democrats. I'm sure there must be some examples of Republicans, but I'm not aware of any.
Looks like they have done a lot of work since 2000. HAVA required all states to set up a single, uniform, centralized and computerized statewide voter registration database. The system is required to link with other State databases, including the Department of Corrections to obtain information on felons, the Department of Health Services to obtain information on deaths, and the Department of Transportation for validation of driver license and social security numbers. https://elections.wi.gov/clerks/svrs/introduction
They're steadily producing kids coming thru the indoctrination system that is government schooling; and, that can be counted on to deliver Democratic votes in disproportionate numbers. Invariably though, as those kids age and mature they're better able to see thru the liberal nonsense they were infected with when they were younger. Of course some are never able to overcome it; and, women tend to be lifelong suckers for emotional appeals. So it will always be a struggle to combat the damage they do.
▶ Wisconsin judge orders up to 209K voter names be deleted ~ They had to do the same to 1.5 million in California. Somewhere in the U.S. there is a county with more registered voters than population !
Federal law REQUIRES voter rolls be maintained for accuracy and purged to remove eneligable voters to protect the franchisment of legal voters.
For years because of the VRA and in Alabama I had to drive right past a polling place where I came out of my neighborhood and several miles to where I voted. Why? Because under the VRA the county was required to create a majority black district which voted at the place right outside my neighborhood. Was I suppressed?
It takes cojones to have dead people removed from the voter list? The US is a total joke when it has ideas about democracy. lol MAGA!
This what democrats mean by "demographics"....it pertains to dead people and illegal aliens who vote.
