GOP's minorty voter supression backfires

I saw an interesting thing on Election Day which suggests you GOPpers shot yourselves in the foot with your obvious minority, voter suppression efforts. Did you guys just invoke a stubborn backlash against your voter suppression?


The nursing home I am temporarily in has a minority race janitor.


On Election Day, I asked him, "Did you vote?".


He said, "Yes I did!"

"Those Republicans had such poor poll facilities for my precinct that I was in line for 8 hours. I missed a day at work and made no salary on Election Day, but I was determined to not let those Republicans keep me from voting!".
 
Given the failure of voter suppression....the GOP may actually have to try to become more diverse and stop playing to its racists in primaries (and having it made public and videotaped).

Really not much point in them trying that tactic anymore...is there? They threw their entire arsenal at it....from Ohio to Florida....and it failed or (as you note) BACKFIRED awfully.
 
Yep, the Secretaries of Suppression will be told in no uncertain terms to expand early voting in "urban areas" and make it clear to those communities that Republicans made it possible!

Need to ask Julie if Husted runs independently for SecState or is appointed by Kasich....either way, he just became the MAJOR issue in the next state elections in Ohio.

"Those Republicans had such poor poll facilities for my precinct............."

Interesting.

So now the republicans are responsible for all of the polling facilities........................

Ok, makes sense................... It isn't like the Democrats are known for actually DOING a damned thing, is it, so I suppose that IF any polling facilities are made available it would be the republicans responsible for them.

Of course what we CAN count on from our dim cohorts is THEIR usual..........NOT actually DOING anything but bitshin', pissin' and moanin' about how whoever IS actually doing something, should be doing it different or "better"...........
 
UPNYA....your guys better learn a new strategy....this one failed...failed miserably.

And it's not going to get any better NEXT time...is it?
:)
 
How about this? Obama only one ONE state that requires a valid ID to vote?

How's that do for your "disenfranchisement" backlash?
 
Do you pay any attention at all to the news Uppy? Republican Secretaries of Suppression were attempting to reduce early voting (and purging voter rolls) in "urban areas" while doing just the opposite in rural areas.

In some cases they were smacked down by the courts, and in others they got away with it.

Fox probably didn't inform you of this. ;-)

Yep, it was a foregone conclusion you GOPpers would carry this state's E.V's., but the janitor still lost a day's salary to spit back.

My wife, likewise asked me, "Why bother to vote?". "It'll make me feel better to strike back", was my answer.

It was this janitor's reaction, all over America, that made you guys lose.

Like in the movie, Life of Bryan, "I fart in your general direction", summarizes his feeling toward you GOPpers trying to keep him from voting.

You GOPpers, by not being more subtle in your voter suppression, really blew it.

If you're in a state like mine, where every level of government, from dog-catcher to Governor, is controlled by Republicans, they are accountable for polling place deficiencies, Sparky.
 
Did it feel better to vote in Texas, and lose? It didn't feel like any strike back or spit back to vote in Virginia to lose it, whether the votes were counted fairly or not.

I guarantee you in Texas NO ONE tried to stop him from voting. Truly, it's all in your heads.

We "blew it" in no way, and his vote mattered not an iota in Texas. But here's to attacking windmills eh?
