The GOP is a bunch of voter suppressors. Pathetic.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Womp womp, MAGA fuckheads. If you can’t win legitimately, then you deserve to lose.
Excuse me, I'd like to purge all voters in my state. Would you look at that, I win!
Why do none of these articles ever ask why the GOP waits until between 2 months and 2 weeks before an election to try and purge voters? Why aren't they going through this process say a few months after an election where they have all the time in the world before the next one to get things in order? Why do they constantly try to have the courts make a ruling, bypassing the actual processes in place?
We know the reason. The GOP wins when fewer people vote. If they can have a judge throw a quarter million voters out, that's nearly the same as them gaining a quarter million votes. Also can have a knock on effect of people that were registered to vote, have been registered for years but for whatever reason are included in this group, try to vote on election day and get told they can't. Or they vote provisionally and then have a GOP State AG go after them for voter fraud... that the party artificially created. Two for one there, fewer voters and they get the voter fraud they're always screaming about without evidence. They can just make the evidence appear by illegally purging eligible voters close to elections.

That's cool but we really need to start looking at shit like this as intent to deprive people of their constitutional rights and charge them for such
Agreed, but you need to prove intent to do that and the republicans always try to play this as improving the voting system rather than gaming it.
They should stand before a jury of their peers and the jury should be allowed to hear both sides and come to a determination based on what had been presented to them.
There's enough credibility in the claim that they're doing this in order to deprive citizens of their constitutional rights that I think they should stand trial and allow for a conclusion.
Court is often where intent is decided
Repubs can fuck off and die.
I'd say the requests for purge should be made public. It then only takes a few of these people to go to court and sue the people making the purge requests.
Hell I'd argue the government should be arresting these people making wholesale purge requests.
Untill that time, purge requests must be done manually through a convoluted form on the site, proof must be provided in specific structure and format, an accompanying form must be filled in and an avadavid must be signed scanned and included for each.
Affidavit, and yeah spot on
In my country it's your duty as a citizen to go vote. (You can however vote blank.)
I thought it was like this in every country.
Not when a political party who loses when voter turnout is high is allowed to make rules around registering to vote.
