The real cheats---the GOP.

Voter suppression doesn’t only happen on Election Day. America is already in the midst of a voter suppression crisis. Voters attempting to cast an early ballot are being thwarted and lied to by Republican officials—a problem that will likely escalate into chaos on election day.


...four individuals, led by Republican Shane Hubers, have attempted to purge 139 voters (most of them black Democrats) from the rolls in Beaufort County by challenging their registration. Voters whose registration is challenged are informed via mail and must appear at a county board of elections or return a notarized form. Otherwise their voting rights are nullified.

..Other counties are engaging in the same chicanery; in Cumberland County alone, officials have purged 3,500 people from the voter rolls. They will face no resistance from a legislature and governor who, in the words of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, recently passed voting restrictions that “target African Americans with almost surgical precision.”

Republicans are already suppressing minority votes all over America.

Speaking of Texas

In Texas, Molly E. Neck saw voter suppression in action. When Neck went to vote in San Antonio, she saw a sign declaring that all voters must present a valid ID before casting a ballot. That was simply false: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit struck down that requirement in August.

And it goes on and on and on

In Indiana, police raided a black voter registration drive on the flimsiest of pretexts and indefinitely halted its operations, blocking as many as 45,000 votes. In Georgia, Republican officials refused to process as many as 100,000 voter registration applications and moved a predominantly black county’s polling precinct from a gym to a sheriff’s office. In Ohio, a federal judge blocked the state’s efforts to purge 2 million people from the rolls—but officials are now refusing to reinstate many of the purged voters.

At some point, with elections so close, voters will demand the process to be revised so confidence can be restored and elections are as free from chicanery as possible.

Hyperbole, like that in the OP, may help push voters to require officials get their act together and do something about it.

Why would they do something about it? Keeping Blacks away from the polls is their goal. Seems to be working like a charm.

Trump supporters are so damn ignorant and annoying.

this is how it is. Abraham Lincoln won the nomination in this exact fashion. You were told months ago your candidate is an asshole, and we refuse to go along with him. face it, he is a loser. if he manages to win the gop nomination, he will lose the general in a landslide. his supporters can go **** off.

Inside the Purge of Tens of Thousands of Ohio Voters - ABC News

McCullough is among tens of thousands of voters in Ohio, many from low-income neighborhoods and who typically vote for Democratic candidates, who have been deemed ineligible to vote by Ohio election officials last year simply because they haven't voted enough -- a move that disenfranchises voters and is illegal, voting rights advocates say.

Voters do need a valid id

Yes the unelected judges said it did not have to be a picture id but the voters of texas have a right to verify who the person is

There is no election cheating. The left has told us that over and over and over again. Stop making things up.

Trump, GOP voter suppression efforts won't work (Opinion) - CNN.com

...the Trump campaign is working to suppress the votes of black Americans, young women and white liberals would mark the most rational move the Republican Party presidential nominee has made in months....

It would also confirm that Trump is taking the route laid out by the Republican Party in ignoring its own post-2012 election autopsy, which had urged the GOP to try to connect with particular groups of voters. Instead, the party has turned to retrograde efforts to make it harder for these groups -- including blacks and Hispanics -- to vote.

No. We've always said it was the GOP who cheats. And now, thanks to the stupidity of those in the GOP, we have a lot of proof.

"voter suppression crisis" - Credibility lost.
Slate.com - more credibility lost.

Throwing the race card at it - all credibility lost.

I do believe that it's prudent to require all voters to present a valid photo ID in order to be allowed to vote.

Such ID is required for most anything in this nation, and does not impose any undue burden on anyone, especially in the miniscule number of cases where someone legitimately needs a free state ID card. In such cases, the state should issue one without charge.

No. the left has NEVER said that. It's nonexistent. Inconsequential. Tightening it up in any way to prevent voter fraud is simply a move by the right to disenfranchise Democrats.

There is no such thing as election fraud. The piddly things that have been pointed out here are nothing. Tiny little ripples in an otherwise perfect pond.

Maggie, why do you keep repeating this lie? You used to be better than this.

Honestly, I find this post to be just more ways to distract from the corrupt stuff that Hillary and her team are being exposed on. Those who have tried to rig this election are just grasping at any straw they can to keep the focus off of the scandals of the Clintons. Seriously, people need to really take a look at this. What is coming out is worse than anything ever seen and may constitute a charge of racketeering or other and demand for the impeachment of Hillary should she win. Is that what we want for our country over the next year when so much is fragile right now?
