The GOP is the party that took the sole polling place in a town that is predominantly Hispanic and moved it out of town. It was already ridiculous that it was supposed to serve about 10 times the average number of voters that a polling location typically does, but they went and moved it miles out of town - for alleged construction that hasn't even been started.

I could keep going but those are just a few that immediately come to mind.

I challenge anyone who says it's Dems to come up with some specific examples like that- preferably that they can just cite without even having to google it.

And wildazz allegations by GOPers with zero proof don't count.

The GOP can not come up with a platform that appeals to the American public so they resort to gerrymandering, stacking the judicial deck, rigging elections, blatantly lying, abusing power granted to them and more.

But it's clear that people are not going to take it anymore. The era of fake elections in the US is over, and the changes that are starting now will carry through for 2020.

Every eligible citizen needs to be allowed to vote. Every registered voter needs to have their vote be counted. Anyone who disagrees with that doesn't deserve to live in the US because that is a fundamental principal here.

Broward's elections supervisor accidentally mixed more than a dozen rejected ballots with nearly 200 valid ones, a circumstance that is unlikely to help Brenda Snipes push back against Republican allegations of incompetence.

Now as far as gerrymandering when republicans do it, its unfair but when democrats do it no one should notices because if you do you are a racist.
Having a ID to vote is not voter suppression unless you are not eligible to vote. The key word is 'eligible'!

In Canada, they really want you to vote....all these items count as voter I.D...

You need to show two items and at least one must have your current address.

health card
Canadian passport
birth certificate
certificate of Canadian citizenship
citizenship card
social insurance number card
Indian status card
band membership card
Métis card
card issued by an Inuit local authority
Canadian Forces identity card
Veterans Affairs health card
old age security card
hospital card
medical clinic card
label on a prescription container
identity bracelet issued by a hospital or long-term care facility
blood donor card
CNIB card
credit card
debit card
employee card
student identity card
public transportation card
library card
liquor identity card
parolee card
firearms licence
licence or card issued for fishing, trapping or hunting

We accept e-statements and e-invoices. Print them or show them on a mobile device.
Elections Canada Online | ID to Vote

Also, Elections in the United States are funded at the local level, often unequally. In the 2004 elections, Wyoming spent $2.15 per voter while California spent $3.99 per voter. In contrast, Canada spends $9.51 per voter.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_..._United_States

This is why voting lines in Canada are so short. It literally took me an average of 10-20 mins to vote in all elections in Canada. Every local community has a voting place with observers and volunteers to assist you. It is so easy to vote, so convenient that it blows my mind to see what is going on in the U.S and the huge lines that you see, people waiting hours. I'm not trying to put the U.S down, I'm just trying to share my experience and show that it can be done differently.

The above tidbit is extremely funny considering Harry Reid stacked the deck when he did away with the 60 vote rule on judicial nomination. And now that has come back and bitten democrats in the arse you are complaining.
Please provide evidence of rigging elections by republicans. When you do please refer to this...

You do know that most predominantly minority communities are in control by democrats don't you.

They've filed numerous lawsuits to stop it, and have tried to disqualify absentee ballots from the military.


Google has plenty of stories.

and you do know that it's not individual residents voting to close and move polling places, don't you?

The specific examples I gave were actions taken by or attempted by GOP officials

I didn't know Brenda Snipes in Broward County was a Republican now?! She's about the only one in the country who is cheating right now and she has been shown to have cheated in other elections. It's a disgrace she is even still in that position.
