    Default El Trumpo's beaten Republicans move to end voting rights.

    After 2020 losses US Republicans move to limit voting rights

    Democratic wins in Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania sent ‘shockwaves’, prompting Republicans to curtail voting methods



    Protesters in favour of changes in Georgia's voting laws hold signs inside the State Capitol in Atlanta on March 8

    Former President Donald Trump was trying to disqualify a few thousand votes in Georgia, enough to help him win the 2020 US presidential election.

    “Look, all I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have, because we won the state,” Trump told Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in a now-infamous telephone call.
    https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/...in-leaked-call



    Influenced by Trump’s claims of fraud, 67 percent of Republican voters nationwide believe the 2020 election was invalid, according to a recent survey by the R Street Institute, a conservative think-tank based in Washington, DC.

    The Republican-controlled Georgia General Assembly is advancing proposals that would restrict ballot drop boxes, end no-excuse voting by mail, end automatic voter registration and limit early voting.
    In Arizona, a state Biden won, Republicans are advancing more than 50 bills addressing voting and elections.

    Asked whether there is any evidence of widespread ballot fraud in Arizona, Kavanagh said, “It’s hard to tell because we would have no way of knowing.”

    Just how badly have El Trumpo and his Banana Republicans damaged democracy in America ? Surely, the definitions of voting rights must be taken out of the hands of individual states- or presidential elections can no longer be termed ' national ' .



    Trolls allowed. Might as well have some humor.

    Have presidential elections been "national" for the past 233 years? States had much more control over voting and qualifications varied greatly most of that time.

    Sure- but it's time for federal control . El Trumpo has introduced sedition, insurrection and violence into the mix. The president has to be a national president of all Americans whose voting rights are equal across all states. Otherwise forget democracy and accept that the president is chosen by the most successful voting rights manipulators.

    Would you want federal control if Trump and Republicans still controlled the government?

    No- but I'm not suggesting that the matrix of federal control is devised by any one individual, president or party. It should be a national issue supported by referenda and amended into the Constitution.

    I can't tell you how such an agreement might come about, of course. The national schism might be permanent- and prove terminal.

    I understand. We don't have referenda at the national level (or many states).

    Your voice is through your elected members of Congress and the president.

    Trump and the Republicans controlled government for two years. Republicans will probably pick up seats in 2022.

    That is not irrelevant.

    Actually here are some facts that Putin's dried up creature tRump and his un American repuke mob of the sewer should consider before making to a burning eternity in hell: Biden signs executive order aimed at promoting voting rights

    Washington — President Biden took unilateral action Sunday focused on voting rights and using the tools of the federal government to boost access for Americans to voter registration services.


    Mr. Biden signed an executive order on the 56th anniversary of "Bloody Sunday," when Alabama state troopers brutally attacked peaceful protesters fighting for the right to vote as they crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma.

    "Every eligible voter should be able to vote and have that vote counted," Mr. Biden said in prepared remarks at the Martin & Coretta Scott King Unity Breakfast on Sunday, according to the White House. "If you have the best ideas, you have nothing to hide. Let the people vote."

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/joe-bid...voting-rights/

    House passes sweeping voting rights, ethics bill and despite the seditious GOPer filibuster threat, Senate democrats do hold a majority, and I would assume that means something.

    The House on Wednesday passed the For the People Act, a sweeping bill that seeks to change campaign finance, voting and ethics laws.

    The bill would expand access to the ballot box by creating automatic voter registration across the country, restoring the voting rights of the formerly incarcerated, expanding early voting and modernizing America's voting systems.

    The House measure passed 220-210, with one Democrat joining all Republicans in voting against it.

    The bill would also strengthen oversight of political lobbying and campaign finance by preventing members of Congress from serving on corporate boards and requiring presidents to release their tax returns."
    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...-bill-n1259549

    Also tRump is no longer president although he was a lawlessly hacked in Putin b!tch, so why the need to keep giving this dried up fossil tRump any more exposure unless its in prison?
