Georgia purged 10% of its voters all of whom they said moved out of state or district. Many of those had not. They didn't inform them or make that public until they were threatened with a federal lawsuit. The GOP released the list. This article is sounding the alarm one day before the voter registration deadline (which of course includes voter ID). As of today, that's all since past.

If we had a normal justice system that believed in the Constitution this would be dealt with. But we don't.

You don't send doctored voting notices to your own party that you want to vote. You send them to the people you don't want to vote. And you sure don't tell them to send in their ballots before the due date, you have them send it in after the due date to invalidate them.
This wasn't some conspiracy (i.e. malice) to suppress votes. This was some Maroon frelling up their own mailer (i.e. stupidity).

And I'm saying it doesn't matter why it happened it is wrong. I don't care if it was an accident or not any action that leads to people having their voting rights impeded on in such a way should face strict consequence.

The right to vote (or choose not to) is sacred. Anything that takes that away should be prosecuted at the highest level.

FTR I was not saying they did it on purpose just that doing so should bring about Swift action no matter why it happened.

OK, I know I'm watching the UM-MSU game and all, but I don't see the point of showing me a MI governor's race ad.

If stupidity was prosecuted, there would only be a few of us who weren't incarcerated. Congress and the White House would become the new Super-Max.

I expect everyone around the nation going hysterical about voter fraud to ask for immediate action here: https://fox13now.com/2018/10/22/conc...g-lds-missions

The best part:

While missionary moms and dads voting for their kids is not a big problem in Utah, local election officials do see one clear threat, people not showing up.

Really? I was told that the possibility of a single fraudulent vote was worth making the process much more difficult for people. "Not a big problem"?

Brian Kemp, the Georgia Republican candidate for governor, expressed alarm that his opponent Stacey Abrams’ voter turnout efforts “continues to concern us, especially if everybody uses and exercises their right to vote,” according to an audio recording leaked to Rolling Stone.

They need to report that to the state official in charge of elections.

Meh, the full quote isn't wrong. He's telling a group of supporters what's true: if everyone votes, the GOP loses.

He even said everyone had the right to vote.

Unless you're black or brown, then he's doing all he can to purge you from the rolls.

I’m guessing CT will elect this god**** moron.

“Bob Stefanowski, the GOP nominee for governor in Connecticut, is calling into question the need for vaccinating children, saying that “we shouldn’t be dumping a lot of drugs into kids for no reason.”

Yeah, I get that, but I still don't think his comments, in context, are bad.

CT Goopers had a chance at the governor's mansion due to huge unpopularity of Dem incumbent Malloy who's not running for re-election. However, the Dems fortunately nominated Ned Lamont who may ring a bell as the guy who primaried Joe Leibermann after the Iraq War went south. Lamont ran and lost to Malloy 8 years ago in the primary and has no connections to state govt, so he's the consummate wealthy outsider with the added bonus of being a known opponent of the unpopular governor. Hence, Stefanowski's Trump Humping is going to leave him SOL.

Having said that, I can't see 99% of parents voting for the guy. Who doesn't want your kids vaccinated as children and instead would like them to contract preventable diseases? Yes there's always that 1% who are usually survivalist kooks or religious nutters but I can't see this being a winning issue. At least not in CT.
