The Phoenix rises again from the fire, as a a crow, Jim Crow
Kansas has reduced the number of days for advance voting. They moved voting out of schools and fire stations and courthouses and into churches. Voter ID is now required, some elderly minorities do not have this. My son is a political science statistics guru, he says this reduces the turnout by 1%, and if the issue is school or police/fire bonds, it reduces the vote for them by 2% by taking the voter into a church, plus the state pays the church a few bucks, the old polling places cost us nothing.
This attack on democratic process is the only way the GOP can win in some districts. Suppress the vote, pay the church.

They could just hang a sign up saying "Minorities and Liberals Should Just Stay Home"

ReplyDeleteSupporting the church as a polling place as well as supporting the GOP agenda is fraud times two!...Pop'
SArge, Austin is a nice place but it is booming, if you have not been there in 5 years you would not know it, (mini) sky scrapers all along the river (lake), and crowding up against the UT campus on the south and west.
ReplyDeleteNAC, I am not so sure there is a limit to dumb fucks.
Skinny, They are hanging that sign via restrictions all over this nation.
Poo, X2, agreed.
