[edhopper]

https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/02/politics/georgia-voter-rolls-report/index.html

It is now down to 14,000 votes in Georgia, Biden should have walked away with the State.

GOP Fuckers have to be stopped from continuously pulling this shit.

1. Provisional ballots?

[DonaldsRump]

7. This will have actually submitted a provisional ballot by the end of Election Day

If they didn't, then they can't vote. If they did, they have to deal with whatever made it provisional to begin with by the deadline (which I don't know).

[DarthDem]

9. No

This relates to people who were removed from the voter rolls before the election when the state wrongfully concluded that they had moved based on their non-response to a postcard or other communication asking them to confirm their address. This practice used to be called "voter caging."

[Baitball Blogger]

14. Thank you.

Voter caging. Got to remember that.

2. Kick

[AlexSFCA]

3. same as with Stacey Abrams, she would have won

[blm]

6. No doubt about it.

[edhopper]

12. 100%

[yardwork]

4. And Stacey Abrams should be their Governor.

Terrible voter suppression.

[edhopper]

13. How the fuck do the Courts allow

a man running for Governor oversee the election?

[yardwork]

15. I don't know. It's egregious.

[Mr.Bill]

24. Probably a Klan thing. n/t

[mr_lebowski]

5. We knew going in we needed massive turnout to offset their ratfuckery ...

Not that this makes it okay, it certainly doesn't.

But shit like this is exactly WHY we knew that going in.

[lagomorph777]

8. And they woulda gotten away with it, if we hadn't meddled!

[SheltieLover]

10. Responsible persons MUST be charged, arrested, tried & punished

Absolutely imperative!

[BComplex]

11. That's what I don't understand! Why is this not a federal crime, punishable by

federal law.

I don't give a damn if it is the elected secy of state or the governor! If you break a law, you need to catch hell!

[Hekate]

18. Remember when the Voting Rights Act was gutted & left by the road to die?

We are experiencing the New Jim Crow as a result.

What I find interesting is how voter suppression has spread so easily from black and brown citizens to simply include everyone of every color who does not agree with white nationalist ideology.

[BComplex]

20. Voter suppression should be one of the highest crimes in the land.

If we're going to be a democracy, we need to stop the crime of voter suppression altogether!

[Tommymac]

29. This. Perhaps should be Step One to removing systemic racism.

Voter Suppression = Racism.

We can't make BLM in a real way until we fix the system.

[BComplex]

32. That's true. But we also need to secure our elections and how they're counted. Until then,

we can't be sure we're putting the people in power that can move to stop voter suppression. These past 2 elections have been so far off the polls that it's not even possible.

And we KNOW the russians and iranians have been hacking in. That should have stopped years ago!

[SheltieLover]

27. Absolutely!

Because "justice" in this countty has been for everyday folks.

White collar criminals are coddled. Fuck that!

[c-rational]

25. +1 Agreed.

[Pobeka]

16. But I thought it was the polls that were wrong!

[edhopper]

21. They were

In States Biden might carry with 0.5% he was up by 6% to 8%.

Ohio was tied and Trump took it by 8%

And Biden's 10% national lead stands at 2% now.

I could go on.

[Pobeka]

23. Polls are not suppressed, actual voting is.

Polls never account for that.

So the question remains -- if I answer a poll saying I'll vote for Biden, and when I either mail in my ballot and it's not delivered by the USPS, or I show up to vote on election day and find out I've been removed from the rolls and get fed up and leave.

How much do all those little suppression tactics shift the final % that have nothing to do with the voter's intent as determined from a poll? This mismatch of poll %'s and actual outcomes is partly explained by voter suppression. When hear 7% of mail in ballots were not delivered, and Biden swung heavily with the mail ins, I figure that's worth a couple of points of explaining the difference.

My point is -- when the election is attempted to be stolen, the polls which represent the *unsuppressed* will of people will necessarily be different than the actual results.

[edhopper]

41. I can't dispute that possibility.

[Ford_Prefect]

30. The Ohio vote is bent and has been since 2000. Polling cannot account for that.

I would tell you who to ask but he died in a small plane accident. Ever since HAVA passed it's been even worse.

...And no I do not wear foil headgear.

[barbtries]

31. can't recall the guy's name

but i know exactly what you're talking about. FL stole it for bush in 2000 and OH stole it for him in 2004.

[Ford_Prefect]

34. He was Karl Rove's IT guy and they killed him 3 or 4 days before he was to testify.

[barbtries]

37. yep.

it's bugging me now i have to look up his name...

17. re the link - firefox has blocked a fingerprinter on this page nt

[edhopper]

22. My firefox browser doesn't

and it is CNN.

[ProfessorGAC]

19. Wrongfully?

I'd say a better word would be "illegally".

[DFW]

26. Kemp sould be recalled, and Stacy Abrams given the seat she rightly won.

Kemp deserves 5 years without parole for what he did, but no justice, no hangman.

[ancianita]

28. Kemp The Ratfucker.

[whopis01]

33. They should be reinstated prior to the Senate runoff elections.

And it should be constantly repeated who removed them and why they were removed.

[JohnnyRingo]

35. I'll bet they hate Stacey Adams.

They should never have fucked with her.

You'd think they'd learned their lesson about a woman scorned with Elizabeth Warren.

[OnDoutside]

40. She is utterly amazing !

[diva77]

36. K&R for exposure

[OnDoutside]

38. On the plus side, get them back in the game in time for January runoffs !

[Skya Rhen]

39. Hopefully the 200,000 are re-instated in time for the two run-off Senate races in January...
