Thieves and their schemes ...we knew this was coming, didn't we? [View All]

excerpts from an October 27 blog on voter suppression tactics, etc. that was out just prior to the election...reviewing it is a reminder that we knew this was coming in Ohio ...there was an organized preparation to keep minority Dems from the polls ...they (repukes) were scared shitless of those voters .... this entire blog link is about stuff that was going on just before the election ....this stuff is what January 6th is about!!!

snip ...

"Today's Republicans have elevated vote suppression from a dirty secret to a public norm.
In Ohio, Republicans have recruited 3,600 poll monitors and assigned them disproportionately to such heavily black areas as inner-city Cleveland, where Democratic "527" groups have registered many tens of thousands of new voters. "

snip ...

"Registration in Ohio is nonpartisan, but independent analysts estimate that roughly 400,000 new Democrats have been added to the rolls this year. Who does Trakas think they are? Have tens of thousands of African Americans been sneaking over the state lines from Pittsburgh and Detroit to vote in Cleveland -- thus putting their own battleground states more at risk of a Republican victory? Is Shaker Heights suddenly filled with Parisians affecting American argot? Or are the Republicans simply terrified that a record number of minority voters will go to the polls next Tuesday? Have they decided to do anything to stop them -- up to and including threatening to criminalize Voting While Black in a Battleground State?"
