And yet if people had provided this feedback with incorrect emails or phones in order to avoid something like this the story would have been "FAKE" people, probably immigrants and bots are contacting the POTUS.

Trump's Election Commission doxxes a bunch of concerned citizens. Unbelievable.

 

imagine what they would do with all the info they asked for.

[Danny Bateman]

The thing is it's working. They're successfully intimidating people off of voter rolls.

 

[BigRedBuster]

Ok....before I get all worked up about that, I would need more info.

 

In the article they give two reasons.

 

1) worried about trump commission.

 

2) didn't realize their personal information was public.

 

Only one of those has to go with the commission. It seems to me that what the commission did was make people realize their information was public.

 

Then....why do people care about that?

[BigRedBuster]

 

Democratic senators are raising questions about a July 13 disclosure from the US presidential commission investigating voter fraud that included more than 100 pages of unredacted comments from the public, including sensitive personal information like names and addresses.

On Monday, Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), and Ron Wyden (D-OR) will send a letter to President Donald Trump asking why the commission publicized so much private information, much of it from citizens critical of the new commission.

That is heartening news. Thus far Trump has shown little inclination to do anything but ignore Democratic politicians or berate them on Twitter.

This is why we need to put independent, non-partisan groups in charge of district design. Our democracy needs a reboot.

And frankly, GOP-dominated areas don't need early voting nearly as much.

 

Which is more complicated:

 

Getting 10,000 people to a voting booth in a 12 hour period

Getting 100,000 people to a voting booth in a 12 hour period

 

 

Which scenario is more likely to happen in a GOP-dominated area?

Sounds like There is a lawsuit pertaining to this rigged policy. I hope they are successful in overturning it.

 

As much as some people like to roll their eyes at having to resort to lawsuits to solve problems, they are there for a reason. Checks and balances against a rigged legislature. Giving a voice to those that can't afford to amplify it (richer districts were funding more early voting places)

 

Also the media doing their investigation and story is acting as another advocate here. I consider the free press as a fourth check and balance in America against corruption. That's why Trump's war on it is so dangerous.

I could get behind this.

 

 

Also, if you want an idea of exactly how prevalent the assault on voter rights is in some of these states:

 

 

It's high time we stop turning a blind eye to this or having a NIMBY attitude. It affects all of us.

In case you wondered what the "Voter Fraud Commission" was all about - that's pretty much it right there ^^^.

 

Everybody knows white folks would never perpetrate voter fraud!

They don't even need the flag really. Just look up the 1,000 most common Hispanic names, then ship anyone with those names to Mexico. I'm sure I missed some steps in between.
