Wondering here: Is there any serious way to investigate Florida and Texas, Kentucky and OTHER
Southern states with their voting SUPPRESSION? Also any other ways they RIGGED the election process in their states? Before 2022 or 2024. What could be done?

1. With the current Supreme Court composition and...
the Supreme Court decisions
Shelby County v. Holder (2013) ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelby_County_v._Holder ) and Abbott v. Perez (2018) ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbott_v._Perez ) prospects are not promising although a Biden appointed Attorney General could certainly make an effort. |

2. I hope so!
The deal with the DEJOY post office MIGHT be a reason to begin?

3. Texas has a big gerrymandering problem
but I saw no particular evidence of voter suppression. Clinton lost Texas by 9 points in 2016 and 8.5 million votes. Biden lost by 5.5 points and ELEVEN MILLION voted. Texas will be a swing state in 2024.

6. Personally i will NEVER trust Florida EVER EVER until
It's fully investigated!! (by a Democratic investigation) It's been rigged for years and years in my mind! I was kinda hoping that the Dejoy bullshit would open the door to a FULL INVESTIGATION!

7. From what I saw in the Houston area
people just didn't trust mail in voting and voted early in person instead. I believe we had less than 10% voting by mail.

8. Likewise.
I won't trust anything they say until there is a Democratic majority in all three branches of state government. And I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for that to happen. |

9. I think the GOP would be overjoyed to hear the Democratic Party call election irregularities
I don’t think giving them support is a good thing.

11. I change the he word to irregularities. But that's fine after.
I doubt repugs will be happy after January either. I think Florida is being investigated at least in the two counties with the independent running.

15. Especially 2022. We have governor and a senate seat to win.
DeSantis and Rubio need to retire from politics.

13. Trump won by almost 400,000 votes this year in Florida?!?
That reeks.
That really, really reeks. Although, I do believe Fla is pulling away as a deep red state. Leave the confines of the big four metro areas (SE Fla., Tampa Bay, Orlando, JAX) and two university towns (Gainesville, Tallahassee) and it becomes Freeperville - FAST. The veneer is very thin in Florida. Born and rasied there. Left in 2016. Even then, the Florida Legislature was a cesspool of Republican cravenness. |

4. It seems a prudent thing for the D party to at least pursue some form of audit of the elections in
those States. Not sure it is doable to any meaningful extent absent a full investigation, however. I suspect there will need to be some clear evidence of unlawful activity for that to happen. Is there?

5. No taxation without representation
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_taxation_without_representation "No taxation without representation" is a political slogan that originated in the American Revolution, and which expressed one of the primary grievances of the American colonists against Great Britain. In short, many colonists believed that as they were not represented in the distant British parliament, any taxes it imposed on the colonists (such as the Stamp Act and the Townshend Acts) were unconstitutional, and were a denial of the colonists' rights as Englishmen. The firm belief that the government should not tax a populace unless that populace is represented in some manner in the government developed in the English Civil War, following the refusal of parliamentarian John Hampden to pay ship money tax.[1] In the context of British taxation of its American colonies, the slogan "No taxation without representation" appeared for the first time in a headline of a February 1768 London Magazine printing of Lord Camden's "Speech on the Declaratory Bill of the Sovereignty of Great Britain over the Colonies," which was given in parliament.[2] |

14. I think there is room to investigate. Especially the states like FL where ballots were held and
they didn't respond to the courts sweep orders (as far as I know)
