1. QTHUGS plan, is to LOAD up the court system. Plus

STOP Joe where ever possible! They are UN-AMERICAN as they come.

3. +1, they're brute forcing the court systems knowing the fatal flaw in the constitution is the courts

... don't have to come back with a timed judgement about voter issues.

They can all do basically what Wisconsin did and the USSC has no other choice to but to default decisions.

We need HR1, trying to spray and pray counter - suites isn't productive cause they only have to have 1% make it to turn the US into kGQP country for ever.

5. I can't imagine California and New York passing voter suppression

The title says all 47 states did. I find that astonishing if true.

2. omfg, but M$M wants the 123423rd story about Cuomo and non crisis border wall. Fuck, if we don't

.. focus and concentrate we wont even have a semblance of democracy any longer.

We'll have Belarus or Russia where voter suppression works down to the nth degree

4. It occurs to me that this is why the GOP embraced the big lie

We assumed it was all about not being able to cut the Trump strings... but now it seems likely they held on to it in order to justify disenfranchising millions of people across the country who don't look like them...

6. I hate to say it

but I fear this will lead to massive protests and very possibly violence all over the country.

Do the Republicans think we will JUST ACCEPT IT???

People will NOT ACCEPT their votes not being counted.

They will not accept it AT ALL.



It will make the protests last summer look like child's play.

Because we WILL NOT ACCEPT IT.
