Justice Department will review restrictive GOP voting laws
By CHRISTINA A. CASSIDY and MICHAEL BALSAMO

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department will scrutinize a wave of new laws in Republican-controlled states that tighten voting rules, Attorney General Merrick Garland said Friday, vowing to take action on any violations of federal law.

He announced plans to double staffing within the department’s civil rights division and said the department would send guidance to states about election-related activity, including mail voting and post-election audits. He also pledged to investigate and prosecute those who would threaten election workers, noting a rise in such cases.

“There are many things open to debate in America, but the right of all eligible citizens to vote is not one of them,” Garland said in his first direct response to the restrictive voting laws being passed in more than a dozen states where Republicans control the legislature and governor’s office.

Speaking to staff of the agency’s civil rights division, he said the resources of the Justice Department must be rededicated to “meet the challenge of the current moment.”

His message was clear: The department doesn’t plan to stay on the sidelines of the voting battles that have erupted in statehouses across the country. Along with reviewing new state laws, Garland said the department also will examine existing ones for their potential to discriminate against minority voters.

Restrictive?

So to preserve election integrity it is now considered restrictive.

All of a sudden a state's election laws do not belong to that state.

Until the next election when state 'election officials' change that states laws in violation of the US constitution to benefit the rats. Then it'll be 'hands off' again.

It seems if a state makes an election law, no matter what it says, the Dems claim it prevents blacks from voting.  I have heard this for many years.  These people do not even read a law, if any law is passed, it prevents blacks from voting.

So, Texas hopefully will get their new election laws passed when they go into a special session.  Consider one new law for mail in ballots.  The voters must put down the last four numbers of their social security number or their driver's license number on their application for a mail ballot.  One can also get a free ID card from the Texas Highway Dept.  How is that stopping someone from voting??

I’m waiting for the GOP to begin responding to rat claims of voter suppression with ‘democrats think you’re ok stupid to get an ID. We’ll treat you like adults’.

It would be so easy.

It's not stopping real people from voting, it's stopping the cheating.  Since Democrats are fine with winning by cheating, then it follows they would be fighting tooth, nail and lawfare to keep us from stopping the cheating. 

We need to stay on target.

The passive, dormant, do nothing Department of Justice during the Trump years, is now super energized to do its job and the democrats bidding's.  As one would expect a deep stater Department to work.  Surprised?  Not even a little.
We have already had a Civil War over the Federals trying to usurp the rights of the States.  The democrats are trying to return us to this days?  Will it return us back to those days of lynchins, except whites and Christians this time, instead of blacks?  Or maybe all of the above ?

The Rodents consider a voter any person, living or dead, citizen or not, whose name is on a ballot supporting a Rodent candidate.

Americans view a voter as a living citizen who can prove his citizenship and his identity and his residency with a valid state-issued ID that is restricted solely to US citizens.

Since the Rodents can't steal elections if the American definition of "voter" is applied, naturally their opposed to Voter Discrimination.

The GOP is not the party leadership.  The GOP is the party MEMBERSHIP.   The members need to kick the leaders out if they leaders are going the wrong way.  No coddling allowed.

Last four digits or DL license number is insufficient.

Put a thumbprint on that request, or no dice.

Most states require a thumbprint for their driver's licenses now.

Uh...no.

The United States had a Civil War over the Rodents' effort to force the other states to accept slavery.   The other states didn't want anything to do with slavery and didn't want it expanded to the territories, either.  Not only did the territories not want slavery, new states like California outlawed it.

And now California, a state that never permitted slavery, has the urge to tax people who never owned slaves to give "reparations" to people who were never slaves.

But you could at least make some effort to identify what the Civil War was about.   The federal government was making NO effort to change the state of slavery in the Slave States.   The federal government even passed laws requiring the other states to seize ambulating property and return said property to their owners.   What pissed the South off was that the other states refused to act on the Fugitive Slave Act and the federal government refused to force those states to comply.   Which would seem to be the exact opposite of the "federal government usurping the rights of the States".

Skeeter complains:
"All of a sudden a state's election laws do not belong to that state."

Well, you can thank "The Voting Rights Act" of 1965 for that.
One of the most destructive pieces of legislation that was ever passed.

Say WHAT???????

The War of Northern Oppression was about the yankee bankers wanting to seize the big farms and take over control of the south. The south had already started shipping their cotton directly to Europe without going though the NY banks,and this had them pissed.

It did not have a single damn thing to do with slavery. Anybody that is upset about slavery in the south needs to look into what happened to the freed slaves that moved north to work in the factories,and the working conditions they faced. If they got sick,they just died. When they were slaves,they were valuable property and the slave owners got a doctor in to see them. They even had better housing and food under slavery.

Humanity had nothing to do with it one way or the other. It was all about protecting a valuable asset.

No,I am NOT saying slavery was a good thing,but let's get real about this. It was the black African tribal leaders that sold captured warriors from other tribes into slavery,as well as their own sick,lame,and lazy troublemakers. The white man had nothing to do with it other than buying what was for sale.

The war about nothing more and nothing less than the greed of the yankee bankers.

Kinda like most of the wars of recent times.

The Southerners of the time often referred to the Civil War as the war against Yankee oppression. It sure looked like the Southerners didn't like the Northerners and Fed government sticking its noses into Southern governments State/private business.  Maybe ya'll can explain it to the Southerners that they didn't know what they were talking about ?

The War of Northern Oppression



1.  Stay on topic.

2.  Think about why people want you to believe lies about American history.   Maybe you can figure out just who it was that fired on a federal fort  occupied by federal troops in the United States of America.   Your conspiracy theory that the northern bankers started the war flies in the face of the fact that the South started the war.   

3.  Don't help the Rodents.

Meanwhile, back at the Topic Ranch, the Rodents don't care if something is legal or not, don't care if something is constitutional or not, don't care if something is moral or not.   

The ONLY morality the Rodents recognize is WINNING.

The Rodents were truly upset when the DoJ finally ruled that the Civil Rights Era usurpation of voting laws in states that had a history of voter suppression....the Democrat Jim Crow states...was over.   Suddenly, when those states were under the control of Americans for the first time since the end of the Reconstruction Era, and the Rodent central government couldn't interfere to give the Rodents the win any more.

Naturally they're going to do everything they can to keep the steal going.  They stole the last election using a fake pandemic to excuse the mass unsolicited mailing of MILLIONS of untraced ballots, vote harvesting and other scams.   They're not going to let all that hard work go to waste by letting any more elections be honest.  This isn't what the Rodents are.

Rubbish and 180 degrees out of whack.

It was the Union attempting to impose its will onto the Southern states.

Northern states had slaves already or didn't you know that?

Southern states wished to just be left alone and were NOT the aggressors.

He doesn't know a damn thing about the War of Northern Aggression. For example,General US Grant owned slaves right up to the end of the war,when he was forced to free them.

What have you been drinking?

That federal fort belonged to the CSA when South Carolina seceded from the Union and rather than leave confederate soil, those Union troops decided to stay and Lincoln was attempting to resupply it with new arms and provisions.

The south had no choice but to take them out.

This was 100% provoked by Northern aggression.

Just a note to those who have yet to learn that their government school history textbooks are the government's primary means of delivering their BS to young minds.  The history of wars is written by the victors and rarely bears any relation to what actually happened.
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Good thing I learned history by reading my own books, then.   Just like how I learned calculus.

As to General Grant, he lived in poverty as a civilian free man, before the war.  Upon getting married he was given a high dollar black slave who he quickly emancipated-freed, and did not get a penny for.  Grant HATED, SLAVERY, and showed it during the civil war and afterward as well.  Some people know and judge the civil war like others judge Christianity, based far more on ignorance than knowledge whereof they speak.

I concur completely.

But I do think he is not clinically insane, just misguided somehow.

Maybe he was not the lead Sled Dog and it affected him looking at assholes in his eyes all day long.
