Larry Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 You know, it's amazing the number of Republican campaign ads I hear from Republicans who voted to protect pre-existing conditions. I think every single one of them did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the state personnel who are in charge of the voting process and are Republicans. We aren't seeing and hearing about this in states where Democrats are in charge of the voting process. It was meant in jest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Granted, I'm not the most informed voter out there. Pretty much everything I know about this election comes from reading here. Which, I suppose, probably makes me more informed than about 60% of voters. But let me see if I've for this straight. Texas is having an election for Senate. One in which a Democrat actually stands a chance (a slight one.) And one which has a chance of determining majority control of the Senate (A really slight chance.) Texas voting machines are changing Democrat votes to Republican votes in this race. They've been caught at it. The people in charge of them admit it. The people in charge have also stated that they have no intention of doing anything about it. And even in here, that's not the top story? Have I got all of that right?

LadySkinsFan Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I think that we now expect the most heinous methods of voter suppression and fraud to occur that it's reported and there's little we can do about it except make it known and provide workarounds to get widely publicized. Here in Texas, I won't vote the straight ticket choice, I will vote for each position and issue, double check my answers and then tender my ballot. I hope this works. Like I've posted before, until the Republicans are booted out from state and local we will continue to have suppressed votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you have all of that right, although it's not the top story because (1) the election in general is a really big deal, so any state-specific story isn't going to take the top spot and (2) I would include the Texas thing in what is probably the #2 story which is - Republicans in power doing extremely shady and unfair things in order to stay in power which, gerrymandering aside, includes the Texas voting machines story, at least one state purging voter rolls a few weeks, not months, ahead of an election in a way that disproportionately affects voters for the other party, Georgia "losing" a bunch of absentee ballots in a majority-black jurisdiction (and where the head election official is on the ballot), the Florida R senate candidate having spent his term as governor restoring the voting rights for white people (who are more likely to vote for him) but not for black people (who arent), Kansas reducing polling places in a majority-Hispanic town to one (1) and putting where it is inaccessible by public transportation, and armed white people showing up to polling places to intimidate non-white voters. So far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gibber Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Dont forget making native Americans who live on a reservation required to have an id with a street address which is not common for native Americans who live on a reservation. Its amazing how much time and effort go into these ploys. This is why I'm scared that the blue wave won't come. I'm not very confident in the results on November 6th.

Does this mean when you told people here that you didn't vote for Trump, you voted straight ticket, you were fibbing? You actually had to specifically change the vote back to Trump? I am shocked and disappointed. For shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
