[quote=Anonymous]Typical conservative strategy: use made-up falsehoods about "voter fraud" to gain Republican advantage by making it harder for poor people and minorites to vote.

Republican Party 2019&lt;tm&gt;: "The only way we can hold on to power is to cheat."

According to the emails, Thomas reached out to Adams and other conservative activists, referencing Adams’ “Superb” report, to get their feedback on a “practical” and possibly “Awesome” idea. The idea was placing signs in “as many polling places in VA” that would list “the laws people may break if they do voter fraud.” Thomas suggested a “digital ad” as well.[/quote]
Thank god for investigative sources that still care about truth like TPM.  The right has corrupted many media sources with bothsideism, but TPM still does excellent work.

[quote]Thomas, meanwhile, asked about the possibility of using an outside group — such as the Virginia based PAC Middle Resolution — that could “target precincts most questionable.”[/quote]

What's shocking to me is the depth of GOP lies.  Do these cosseted mostly-white people like Ginni Thomas, flush with billionaires' money, really not know that voter fraud is a lie?  Or do you think they've just said it to themselves enough times that they believe it?
We need better education in America.  For white conservatives.

The fact is, voter suppression is real and it is often the only shot the GOP has to sneak their candidates into office.

[quote]So there is, substantively, no real difference between the tactics used in Mississippi in 1890 and the tactics being used today.

No, there isn’t. The voter ID laws really echo what we saw in 1890. [/quote][/quote]
