North Carolina just went Blue

So which party will win elections, the one that tells people that it wants people to vote, or the one that tells people it doesn't want people to vote. :thinking:

I doubt letting the Aryan Brotherhood and European Kindred vote is helpful to Dems. But that's the thing about having principles.
You apply them no matter whether they fall your way or against...

Their presence only serves as a motivation for good people to outnumber them.
 
now if Biden and the Democrats are successful at getting the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act through, MAGAland and the GOP in general will be slowly, election by election, reduced to minority party status for decades to come.....GO JOE!


On Tuesday, Democrats in the House of Representatives introduced the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, also known as H.R. 4. As Ian Millhiser explained in Vox, H.R. 4 essentially overturns the Supreme Court’s recent attacks on voting rights: Its central provisions give both the Justice Department and federal courts sweeping authority to block voter suppression laws. But one crucial section takes a more creative approach: The House bill actually repeals the court’s own rules for deciding election-related cases—which strongly favor states’ ability to suppress votes—replacing them with voter-friendly directives that would force the justices to safeguard equal suffrage. H.R. 4 also takes on the “shadow docket,” prohibiting the Supreme Court from issuing unreasoned emergency orders reversing lower court decisions that protected the franchise. And it abolishes the legal doctrine that allows the justices to shield anti-voting laws from judicial scrutiny in the run-up to an election.

Even if all 55,000 felons voted Democratic in 2020 Trump would have still won N.C.

Most felons do not vote. I doubt if many of those white supremacist prison gang members will vote Democratic.

really? then why does the GOP panic at the sight of voting rights legislation? because none of it really matters anyway?

actions speak louder than bullshit

Just do away with the Senate filibuster and this has a chance of becoming law as it should.

Otherwise it's all for bragging rights.
