"Don't be running around the country dividing America."

From a REPUBLICAN. Oh, my aching side!

Nobody has divided America like the GOP has.

And I suspect they also have no idea what that means

You know, like "psychopath" and "denial" and stuff like that that people is allus throwin' at Republicans.

is a river in Benghazi!!1!

that democrats DON'T CALL THEM OUT ON IT.

They have been doing this shit my entire life, they do it, then perversely spin it when their bullshit is opposed.

Like it or not, when one side is screaming bloody murder and the other side just passively mumbles about things, the side screaming bloody murder is going to define the narrative.

DU.

A substantial majority of Americans favor both, and that is what Hillary is calling for. Notice how the Republicans never really mention either? They know Americans favor both and that it is the GOP who is out of touch with want Americans want.

It does say something about all citizens having equal rights, though.

Except that in the real world, it does say more than a "little"...

the 14th Amendment

When you quoted from my post, you left out this part:

It does say something about all citizens having equal rights, though.

The US Constitution says very little about citizens voting.

It does say something about all citizens having equal rights, though

that the described groups' ability to vote will not be "abridged" - i.e.,

But the right to vote itself does not come from the the Constitution.

And "the right to vote" is explicit right there in multiple Amendments to the Constitution. The Amendments lay out our "rights" at the Constitutional level.

This is why your argument fails. It's a matter of a "right" to do an explicit thing regardless of what the states might say, and as side-notes, it specifies for which groups ("classes" as the legalize dub them) this applies.

BTW, I simply made a statement. I did not make an argument. You're the one arguing.

as the Constitution represents "the law of the land".

And as the same document says - anything not explicitly described as a nation right is given over to the states. And the original "voting" part goes back to that Section 2 of the 14th Amendment -

The fact that the US Constitution mentions a right created by states does not mean that the Constitution grants or creates that right.

Did you read the material at the link I provided to you? You can also check the wiki on voting in the US. Or google the issue yourself.

a Rep.

Since you can't be bothered to read what I provided to you or the wiki or google the issue for yourself, we're done.

because the SCOTUS also claimed "separate but equal" in "Plessey v Ferguson" which was overturned by another SCOTUS with "Brown v Board of Education".

Citing "cases" doesn't help your argument.

oh never mind, the "other crime" part probably allows for it then but that could be used for jaywalking or anything really though the "any states" laws have the felon disenfranchisement laws or don't have them but I see Kentucky added to their constitution in 1972 and other states followed such as Vermont(who has universal suffrage now -- you can vote in prison).

The US is the most strictest, especially of developed countries, when it comes to democracies

Never mind but I wonder how a lot of what they do can be interpreted as most of it seems to do with making voting more difficult with the ID laws, the going after the voter registration groups by giving heavy penalties to register someone already registered, or making the process more difficult or confusing (they scaled back heavily on the early voting days in Ohio & Florida since the '08 election where Obama received 70% of the early voting vote)

between those who believe everyone who is eligible should have every opportunity to vote and those who want to win by cheating. Let's start with gerrymandering.

Repubs do, as well, save for the extreme paranoid wings of the party - who seem to be running their circus.

voting as a threat to America is entertaining to say the least. She made the unwitting dupes put both feet in their mouths. Next she'll have them sticking icepicks in their heads on TV.
They should all be on Pox News soon proclaiming themselves victims of Hillary's trickonology because she exploited their insane hypocrisy.

In that case, she should keep doing what she's doing.

"I don't give them hell. I just tell the truth about them and they think it's hell."

Harry Truman

has ever said about HRC. I guess Bernie S will be next with his policies on addressing income inequality. We, the Democrats have great great candidates!

15th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America

"Prohibits the Federal and State governments from denying a citizen the right to vote based on that citizen's race, color or previous condition of servitude . . ."

19th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America - giving woment the right to vote.

GOPers want to supercede these two Amendments. Suppression laws and gerrymandering are just the beginning.

they have been increasingly bold about their gaming of the vote because, quite honestly, this country does not value its right to vote as much as it should.

voting rights are those leaders of the Republican establishment.

"Excuse me Governor/Senator/Congressman, but don't you mean election fraud?"

"Voter fraud" is pretty much statistically nonexistent.

The lines are pretty damned clear. It is comforting that Hillary is making this a campaign issue.

R&

Thanks Steve

Like stuck pigs, they are.

no people of color and especially, no women. Women are trouble dontcha know. Look at Hillary Clinton. I mean, you name your daughter after a mountain climber, she's bound to cause trouble.

But of course repiggies wouldn't think so.

yes a divide is created - between those who believe in Democracy and the gop who is realizing that fair elections may destroy their ability to ever win another election.

I thought the GOP would meet this with silence, at least for now, but the clowns couldn't wait to act like fools.

Yeah..

She has them on the defensive already. I like the way they pass voter ID laws to divide the voters, then accuse Clinton of being divisive.

eom

Has forgotten more about politics than the GOP could ever learn. Keep hitting the GOP on their total and complete lack of rational governance Madam Secretary!

Is talking about lax controls on voting. Schizophrenic party at best. What is it to much government intervention or not enough?

The corps just might not be allowed to crush democracy.

Filled with stupid, hateful bigots.

The GOP hates letting poor people and minorities to vote and so think that it is class warfare to encourage these people to vote .

I keep trying to think of something to say but words fail me.

I remember 4 years ago when a FB friend of mine said "what's so bad about making people have IDs". She got schooled real fast.

I am trying to understand how ANYONE IN AMERICA can object to early voting.

Somebody please break it down for me.

NYS doesn't have early voting. It's annoying. Though I've not heard of extra long lines here or throughout the state. I think I had to wait about an hour at most in 2008.

Only one can think of some shit like that to respond to criticism against their "War on Voting" clearly designed to increase their odds by decreasing the electorate. Voter fraud my ass, voter fraud in New Jersey I'd love to hear about it.

after pounding sand up its ass. HRC was spot on, which is why they are bellowing. K&R
