    So six Democratic congresscritters crossed the aisle to pass the latest defence spending bill - not that unusual, given their swing districts and being up for election - but they did so with the "SAVE" act attached to it.

    Apparently, they have all the self-preservation instinct of the mythical #lemmings from Mutual of Omaha's Wild Fabrication. Because the entire point of the #SAVE act is to disenfranchise as many Democratic-leaning voters as possible. This isn't speculation; it's easy to read in the measures that it calls for, but more than that, #Trump has explicitly described it that way over the last few months.

    The #Democrats frequently do not need the #GOP to ratf*ck them [1]; as here, they're quite capable of doing it to themselves.

    Everyone who cares about preserving #US democracy, such as it is, needs to yell at their #senators to ensure this monstrosity doesn't pass in the Senate. There's been lots of talk of it not having the votes there, but that was said about other things that (eventually) got passed as well.

    [1] Don't blame me for the language. A US president brought the term into wide use.

  3. No way. Appeal this nonsense

    Judge allows #Trump to implement mail-in voting executive order

    A judge Thursday declined to block Trump's EO tightening rules on mail-in voting in a loss for the Democratic Party [& the People], whose lawyers argued that it could #disenfranchise millions of voters.

    Trump has ​for years pushed the false claim that his 2020 election defeat was the result of ⁠widespread voter fraud & has criticized voting by mail.

  5. The anti-American anti-working-class GOP only wishes to disenfranchise the common working class and will lie, cheat and employ illegal means to achieve its objective. A pox on them, starting with the felon POTUS.

  7. @cantwell.senate.gov @[email protected] H.R. 22 top-viewed bill: people are terrified. This isn't about "integrity"—it’s a strike on voting rights that could #disenfranchise millions of married #women & students. Protect the ballot! NO on the #SAVEAct! #VoterSuppression #USPolitics

  8. @ProPublica In Czech Republic voters came with electronic IDs which were officially considered a valid ID for voting, and were IMO arbitrarily, wantonly and frivolously not allowed to vote, citing "overloaded system".

    I can imagine a programming of the system like this:

    if (voter.political_preference==opposition) {fprintf(stderr,"Error: sorry, system overloaded!\n"); exit -1; }

    Do you know what's the difference between Cambodian 3rd world developing country dictatorship and Czech Republic?

    In Cambodia I got a dentist in 1 day, in Czechia I had to phone dentists for 2 months before I got one. In case of dermatologist even 4 months.

  16. The #SAVEAct , Which Could Stop Millions of #Women From #Voting , Is ‘Dead on Arrival’ in the #Senate | Glamour

    After the Republican-led House of Representatives passed the SAVE Act, a #voter registration bill that experts warn could #disenfranchise millions of women across the country, fears began to emerge that it would similarly be approved in the #Senate.

    However, according to Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, that’s not happening.

  24. State and election officials from across the country issued a ⭐️warning Wednesday that ongoing concerns with the country's mail system could #disenfranchise #voters.

    #Mail-in #voting has become more popular since the pandemic but officials have persistently warned that the U.S. Postal Service has struggled with #delivery #failures.

    The latest warning from the National Association of Secretaries of State and the National Association of State Election Directors comes as a number of states are set to
    👉begin early votingthis month.

    🔥A host of problems with the mail delivery system have been evident over the past year, the two groups wrote in a letter to U.S. Postmaster General #Louis #DeJoy Wednesday.

    These include receiving mailed ballots that had been postmarked on time arrive after the deadline to be counted
    and instances in which ballots that were correctly addressed were returned to voters as undeliverable.

    "We have not seen improvement or concerted efforts to remediate our concerns," despite repeated outreach efforts to USPS, the groups wrote.

    "We implore you to take immediate and tangible corrective action ... failure to do so will risk limiting voter participation and trust in the election process," they said.

    While mail-in voting is likely to be less prevalent this year than it was in 2020, both parties have embraced encouraging voters to cast their ballots early via mail.


    Trump spent years disparaging early voting as "corrupt," earlier this year he and several GOP groups embraced mail-in voting.

    Democrats, on the other hand, welcomed vote-by-mail efforts in 2020 and now enjoy a large mail-in voting advantage in swing states

  27. #Trump is a former #president who, along with a team of scumbags, tried to end American #democracy, #disenfranchise millions of voters, and install himself as ruler in opposition to the will of the #American people. #HunterBiden is a private citizen and recovering drug addict who filed his taxes late, and lied on the form you have to fill out when buying a gun. That's the difference between the two. Someone should sit #LadyG down and explain it to him.

    "...what happens to someone’s voting rights after serving a prison sentence depends entirely on the state where they were convicted. In some states, their voting rights are restored after they are released from prison. In other places, they may permanently lose their rights."

  30. @deadtom @georgetakei For 20+ years, the #Koch Brothers & other ultra #conservative donors promoted/funded a unified system of #gerrymandering by the #GOP across the country in order to #disenfranchise poor/POC #voters & dilute the blue votes. Plus #purges of voter rolls as in #Georgia. Dems are FINALLY suing to demand fair maps, but it’s like chipping at a mountain w/a teaspoon. Blue voters are out & vocal. They’re chipping away at the mountain but it takes time to undo the damage.
