Related: About this forumWhy Is The Democratic Party Silent on Voter Suppression?
Voter suppression is real, folks, and Republican lawmakers are going to stop at nothing to keep it in play heading into November. And things are going to turn out very badly for Democrats if the GOP is allowed to get away with this. Ring of Fires Farron Cousins discusses this.

(4,205 posts)Because it is in their best interest at this time, if it were hurting their queen they would be frothing at the mouth.. Mostly it is happening in red states that the dems wouldn't win anyway so they don't really give a fuck...

(45,120 posts)they are republicans fed up with the republican party. As for being not involved in the political process, they are regular republican voters.

No representative government...period.

(304 posts)Because the Dem Elites are suppressing as much as the Repubs ever did in this Primary.

(3,160 posts)The establishment of the Democratic party is silent. And the answer to the question is the same answer to the question "why doesn't the Democratic establishment talk about campaign finance reform?". The answer, because they are both simply a means to an end.

(25 posts)Voter suppression (closed primaries) & election fraud (how about those mysterious 125,000 dropped voters?) helped carry Clunton to her fraudulent "double digit win" in my state of NY. But for the media, establishment, and many Hillary supporters, a win is a win, end of discussion (or real investigation). The problem for the Democrats is that the Republicans control a lot more state and local governments & simply do voter suppression and fraud much more effectively.

(1,717 posts)the Postal Service, Social Security, the SEC, the EPA and other
regulatory agencies?
All of this should be hammered upon in election ads,
but is not.
Why?
Because they are complicit.
Time for all those real Dems and Bernistas to take
control of the party. I'm helping.

(8,964 posts)Sick as that sounds, I've come to believe that the Democratic Party does nothing
to stop voter fraud or election fraud because they want the same capability,
when they have the opportunity to use it.
If this is not the case, why have they not push harder to remove or downright
remove non-verifiable voting machines, in states that have Democratic Secretaries of State?
