More attacks on democracy coming

[RickWA]

Those representatives are elected via democratic election...except for the president who is elected by electors who are elected by the voters...

The problem is the republican party is now kicking democrats off of election boards and appointing all republicans to run elections.

Georgia Republicans purge Black Democrats from county election boards

Insight: Georgia Republicans purge Black Democrats from county election boards

Protesters filled the meeting room of the Spalding County Board of Elections in October, upset that the board had disallowed early voting on Sundays for the Nov. 2 municipal election. A year ago, Sunday voting had been instrumental in boosting turnout of Black voters.

Dutifully partisan - in perfect harmony with 100% of your DNC water-carrying offerings in this forum. Now go and fetch some cases and n which Democrats “purge” county election boards. “Oh, heavens no…much like gerrymandering…Democrats don’t do such things…or if they do, it’s only to improve representation”.

Does it scare you that states are doing their best to put republican party officials in charge of election boards in democratic areas?

No.

No.

Get your hobnail boots polished and your brown shirt pressed...

Replacing black democrats with white republicans in largely black and democratic areas isn't about making sure elections are free and fair.

What is partisan is you pretending it isn't happening in Georgia unless I can also research whether or not democrats have done the same thing...

Howzabout you do that research if you think this is one of those "everybody does it" kind of voter suppression deals.

You seem to think that "areas" are delineated as one party or another. How about letting the voters decide where they want to live and how they want to vote instead of bracketing them based on race, which you seem to do in your above statement.

The Georgia legislature changed the law and is now changing the makeup of elections boards around the state. Did you bother to read the link I provided? All 5 of the members in a county elections board are now republicans in an area that is predominantly democrat...and all five are white in an area that is mostly black.

So goes the ELECTED legislature.

I want the democratic Republic we've always had. Quotes from some left wing hack and a liberal rag don't scare me like it does you.

The democratic republic we've always had gave the us the fairest and most secure election in our history....in 2020.
Your choice is democracy or autocracy.
Currently, your side is assaulting our democracy.
Do you want to be an American or a nazi?

 

[JuliefromOhio]

Whoever wrote that is a little behind. It already happened in 2020.

True, 2020 was the fairest and most secure election in our history.

When Trump offers poisoned kool-aid like Jim Jones did to his cult, don't drink it.

Yup...just like the jim crow stuff they did years ago...

So stop trying to rig the vote or overthrow the government when it doesn’t go your way.

Oh, but you reverse yourself. You say the Election are fair, so the GA legislature were fairly elected, Correct?

 

[middleview]

Oh, but you reverse yourself. You say the Election are fair, so the GA legislature were fairly elected, Correct?

So they are duly authorized to enact new jim crow laws?

What you consider as jim crow laws are what the public is voting for, not your socialist version of how you dream things are.

They were, but now the anti-democracy repubs are throwing the duly elected out.

The duly elected legislature is ridding the counties of biased cheaters.

The public is voting to let their own voices be taken away by a self-serving clique?
