#MSNBC #VotingRights
We must vote Republicans out of power!
The wealthy 2% republicans and Big Business are in charge of the majority of the 50 states in the United States and will descend to any depth to maintain control of the country.
Hilarious, like your democrats in office aren’t multi millionaires and liberal big tech is broke. Too funny
@Biden Blows The Democrat, Republican and Independent Political Parties in the United States are almost even thirds of the voters in the country, however the republicans have an advantage because they will stoop as low as a snake with their Underhanded Tactics and they have more Big Businesses supporting them. Thanks for the reply.
Why have election if they suppressed it. It’s idiotic !!!! Doesn’t make sense.
Desantis just lost his re election next year
lost my vote
@Clyde Hawkins as a Floridian, it’s not nearly that simple.
@Cantaloupe Virus your mad cause you have to play by the same rules as republicans, newsflashj, you arent special snowflake 🙂
@Clyde Hawkins lol… If only the Dems would stoop to those levels. Maybe they’d win more often.
@Clyde Hawkins <--2 day old tRoll account.
Right wing media companies of the OAN variety are buying up radio stations in Florida. The propaganda is going to get thick.
by making you show your ID? lmfao, liberals are so mad they have to follow the rules lmfao. cry more freak 🙂
And those of us on the right are force fed the lefts socialist propaganda on tv, social media and newspapers. And you SJWs want to cry about voting laws and OAN buying some radio time. You all are in need of some serious mental health.
Republicans are bullies.
@Clyde Hawkins Did I mention anything about voting laws and rights? No. Voter fraud is a myth btw.
@Kimberly Galanti it’s a good thing that I’m not a registered republican. I’m registered in the constitution party!
Can it be overturned by the supreme court?
Sure hope that happens BB.
It’s because of the so-called Chief Justice Roberts that this is happening across the country. He gutted preclearance from the Voting Rights Act which meant that states no longer had to get federal permission before changing their own voting laws. He’s been wanting to do this since 1981 and he finally got his way. You can look up info on him + voting rights act and you’ll get a ton of info re his quest to do away with it.
@Marco M exactly the reason why dems should pack the courts.
Maybe, but it will take years to reach the Court and with a 6-3 republican majority, doubtful it will be overturned. The quicker way is to vote like your life depends on it, in record numbers.
Imagine if liberals passed laws saying only people who use public transit to come to the polls can vote.
I can tell you never had a debate class.
@Viva La Raza! I think Stephen makes a great point. In fact, it would be a socialist party saying that only people who can’t afford a car have the right to vote. Many of us would support it. It would change the terrible living conditions of too many low income voters.
They should do that Excellent Idea Stephen , Only People who use on voter day not voter month just one day can actually come to the polls in person during voting hours and vote,,,,YES !!
Rep. Nixon 👏 🙏 is right on.
There might not have been fraud, but there WAS cheating ~ by Ron devilSantis.
Given that Baby Cheesus won Florida in 2020, the state GQP can’t use “voter fraud” as an excuse like Georgia.
they will any ways, GOP has no shame. Remember many of the Republicans who won the 2020 election also ‘objected’ to it prior to Jan 6
@Neotuck It’s not like they cried Russian collusion or anything.
@Biden Blows <---3 week old tRoll account.
Russia collusion!!!
All states have similar laws on the books now. Don’t like the law, move to a state that has no voting laws…oh, there isn’t one.
These lefties crying about voting laws need to move to Venezuela.
Why do they cry very time they don’t get their way..or someone disagrees with them? 😢
In the past the French, Russians, Cubans, etc were all oppressed by the upper upper class and they found a more direct method to alleviate their situations…Just giving out a brief history lesson…
History will see these draconian acts of voter suppression as what destroyed Americas status in the world and led to its fall
Unbelievable!
“This DeSantis guy is a real piece of work! What a backwards clown, showing zero judgment or knowing what’s right.” – Florida Man
Who knew that when republicans were talking about releasing the Kraken, what they really meant was a wave of Jim Crow voter suppression laws. 🤷♂️
You know, you’re right!
Angela Nixon, very powerful and insightful statement.
DeSantis needs to be investigated and prosecuted.
I can’t imagine there being another republican president in the 21st century. Maybe in the 22nd century, but we’ll all be gone
