Jim Crow voting practices have spread to all red states
"Voter fraud" is provable bullshit. It's Republican propaganda and is virtually non existent. Voter disenfranchisement, however, is very real and standard practice in red states. It's Jim Crow style voting that has gone national and run amok. (Google Jim Crow if you don't know what it means.)
In national and many state elections, the Democratic Party is at a huge disadvantage. This is because the Republican Party has no qualms about cheating, outright theft, and doing whatever it takes to hold onto power.
Want a few examples of what goes on in GOP controlled states?: No State issued voter ID without a birth certificate; No early voting; College students not allowed to vote outside of their home states; Limited polling sites, or shut down sites in minority neighborhoods; Phone calls giving wrong polling sites; "Cleansing" of voting rolls; "Lost ballots"; "Miscounted ballots"; Hacked voting machines; No paper ballot trails; Voter intimidation at the polls; -- These, and many more tactics, are used in Republican controlled states to ensure that the "THEMS" don't/can't win elections.
If nothing else, understand this. Republicans don't care about or obey any so-called "rules." The majority of Democrats play by the rules. And in real terms, here's the result. The majority of Americans virtually get fucked at every election. And the Republican Party ends up with the presidency, the senate, and all to often, the house of representatives.
So what does all the election stuff mean in the real world? The Supreme Court appointed George W. Bush in 2000. The Ohio vote count stole the election for George W. Bush in 2004. Russians, Republicans, and other factors stole the 2016 election for The Orange Creature. And those are only the most recent cases of "Democracy in Action."
Grasp this concept and hold onto it. When one party (Dems) are playing by the rules, and the other party (Rethugs) don't give a rat's ass what they have to do to "win," who do you think is going to hold power over you and your way of life?
Do you really believe that all of this isn't going on at this very instant in regard to this year's election?
We Dems either show up to vote in November, or forget about the future. If we don't win this election, and win BIG, there may never be another one.
