I'm a rationale conservative - can you convince me voting rights legislation is needed?

There does need to be enforcement - And, heavy scrutiny of ballot harvesting in states where it is legal and enforcement in states where it is NOT legal.

NEW: Connecticut Judge William Clark has seen enough evidence and is ordering a redo of the Democratic primary in Bridgeport, Connecticut where people were allegedly seen stuffing the ballot box.

But I thought elections were perfectly safe and secure?

Surveillance footage shows multiple people shoving large amounts of ballots into drop boxes throughout the city.

Superior Court Judge Clark has now called for a redo of the primary and specifically pointed to the unusual amount of absentee ballots.

Connecticut law says voters must drop their own ballots off which clearly wasn't happening here.

"The videos are shocking to the court and should be shocking to all the parties," Clark explained.

"The volume of ballots so mishandled is such that it calls the result of the primary election into serious doubt and leaves the court unable to determine the legitimate result of the primary."

The primary in questioned involved a race between Mayor Joe Ganim and challenger John Gomes where Ganim one by just 251 votes.

Love it! Especially the bit about not getting any more ballots for people in line and that they wouldn’t get affidavits so just go home .

This is what Gov. Youngkin should have done, but he just didn’t have the stones.

We are a republic, which is another word for “managed democracy”. So if we want our side to win, we have to embrace the need to shape the electorate. Democrats already do that by registering and turning out anyone with a pulse (and perhaps without :lol. People you would never associate with in real life.

But their disadvantage is they have to register and vote one by one. I actually think the police were just doing traffic control, but you could just have civilian employees in yellow vests do that. Point is if your blockade makes ten people turn around and 100 not vote, and they would have voted Democrat, then that’s an enormous AND efficient win.

More of this please.

Sure. And why don’t we just bring back the poll tax and let you vote only if your grandfather could? You sir, are despicable. It’s Mississippi so I’m not surprised but do better. Let people vote who are eligible and let the best candidate win. Clearly you don’t have that kind of confidence in your position or party or you’d do the same.

Republicans are becoming clownishly bad.

The willful mishaps in Jackson Mississippi were shameful and reminiscient of the suppression of the pre-voting rights era.

I can all but guarantee there were no such lines or ballot issues in the white parts of the county or state.

Did you seriously not know that? Of course the GOP is for voter suppression! Did you see what happened in Ohio, ruby red Ohio? The GOP got smacked hard, and it happened because people turned out.

Can you imagine how much less red the confederate states would be if they didn’t artificially suppress and weaken the Black vote? Texas would have gone blue in 2020, and they admitted this (and yes, Republicans, I know you say he didn’t mean what he said. He said what he said, he meant what he meant, if the GOP didn’t cheat, they’d have to repent). They have to prevent people from voting or the GOP would have to become a normal party.

OP has visited this thread once to say it was too much to read, is missing the clear issues and refuses to learn anything. Outstanding.

Actually have we considered that OP is John Roberts? Hear me out: ignorant but certain he knows everything, willing to smug ask if Voting Rights legislation is really needed, unwilling to read the answers saying it’s “too much”…

Georgia Republicans unveiled a proposed U.S. House map that could defy a judge’s ruling that the state illegally weakened Black voting power.

It clearly does. GOP can only win by cheating.

For as much as they like to pretend that Black people are going to vote Republican by some magic new amount, it’s pretty obvious that Black people are not voting for Republicans. Otherwise why would they fight Black people voting?

This thread is how old now? but I’m still saddened by the low level of patriotism among Republicans like OP. He’s happy to wave away the rights of millions.
