GOP Purges Voters In Close Election States Ahead Of 2020 | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
The Republicans have to cheat to win.
@Crimdor cite your evidence or stop peddling Putin propaganda
Bono Budju – the evidence is in the article referenced by Rachel in this very video.
Look it up yourself.
Rita Hall – show me 1 video of a person that went in to vote and was turned down.
Everyone in today’s day n age loves to take cell phone videos of everything.
You’d think you’d be able to find a single example.
@Crimdor you need to go to comprehension and critical thinking classes if that is your takeaway
so these people who are suddenly denied the right to vote i guess they still have to live by the laws, even though they are being essentially dehumanised?
@Audie Get them out of office, take all their money, throw them in jail. That is the only message that the future will remember.
@Audie Amen! We *need* a second Revolution to take back the power of the people!
It’s a republican held state so the people most affected are clearly republicans.
@Crimdor No, it’s going to effect the whole of the US. And subsequently the rest of the world.
When Centrist, Center Right Democrats stop acting like Republican lites, Only then will Democracy be Activated! Bernie2020!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Voter Suppression. The constitution is worthless, toilet paper. feel sad for all US citizens.
@C H Apparently you’ve relapsed.
@french1956 Fortunately I have moved on to the real left.
Yep, with America’s impotence to stop this, it can be assumed Trump could easily win in 2020.
The German House of Wurttemberg are one of the most dominant and oppressive bloodlines of the Holy Roman Empire and they work closely with German House of Baden-Zahringen. Their former dukedoms and kingdoms merged creating the modern German state of Baden-Wurttemberg. The Wurttembergs are currently headed up by Duke Carl of Wurttemberg and his children Duke Friedrich who is now dead, Duke Philippe, Duke Eberhard, Duke Michael, Duchess Mathilde, and Duchess Fleur. Count Conrad I of Wurttemberg was the founder of this royal house and made an alliance with the Roman Catholic Hirsau Abbey which he financed the Romanization of. The Wurttemberg family married with the Roman Catholic Orleans, Bourbon-Two Sicilies and Pallavicini families in this past century. The Wurttemberg family employ through their royal court various businessmen like Reinhold Wurth who is from Wurttemberg and worth about 10 billion. A noble or royal house is a corporate entity. The name Wurttemberg derives from the earlier name of Wirdeberch. The German words Wird or Wirt refer to talking, speech, command or words. The current Director of the New York Stock Exchange is Jeffrey Sprecher and he is a white collar crook. Sprecher is a German name and derives from Sprechen and like Wirt also means to talk or speech. The Frankfurt Stock Exchange has origins with the ancient trade and currency fairs in Frankfurt which later influenced modern stock exchanges. The Wurttemberg family have command in Wall Street. They use words connected with numeric codes to communicate information to associates and businessmen in regards to trading stocks in order to evade insider trading regulations. They use various books and their pages, numbering, and indexes as their codices and this information is taught in fraternal orders and masonic lodges. Freemasons and Greek fraternal members are educated in numeric coding. The media including financial media use numeric-word hidden communications as well to signal members of secret societies.
This is one way they have rigged the stock exchange and one way they communicate their agenda to members of secret orders. Wall Street is fraudulent at its foundations because corporations are a deceptive construct. Corporations are considered a person with rights under law. Corporations are not people. Corporations are set up so the creators can own and prosper from them through shares without being held accountable for any crimes or wrongs done by them. The royal and noble families use fraudulent and covert methods to control wealth, resources, and land. Many universities were created and are owned by royal and noble families. They use their universities to recruit agents of their corporate houses. Gottlieb Daimler founded Daimler-Benz and was born in the Kingdom of Wurttemberg covertly serving the royal family as their court factor. The Wurttemberg family have private shares in Daimler AG and Mercedes-Benz located in their territory of Stuttgart, Baden-Wurttemberg. Daimler AG has about 235 billion in assets. The German nobility conspire together and share ownership over these enterprises. The Wittelsbach held rule in Mannheim, Baden-Wurttemberg. Claus E. Heinrich went to the Wittelsbach’s University of Mannheim and was a Board Member for SAP SE which develops enterprise application software. SAP is located in Baden-Wurttemberg and has assets at about 44 billion. Dietmar Hopp is a co-founder of SAP, is worth about 6 billion, and lives in Baden-Wurttemberg. Hasso Plattner is worth 15 billion as a co-founder of SAP and was educated at Karlsruhe Institute a college founded by the Badens. Georg F. W. Schaeffler is worth about 20 billion and is from Erlangen, Bavaria. Schaeffler is another court factor for the House of Wittelsbach and House of Wurttemberg. The House of Oettingen-Spielberg are nobles of Wurttemberg and Bavaria and they serve the Wurttembergs, Badens, and Wittelsbachs with Prince Albrecht Ernst and his son Franz Albrecht of Oettingen-Spielberg who is married to Barones Cleopatra von Adelsheim von Ernest. Stephen Spielberg is a covert relative of this family and worth about 3 billion. Stephen Spielberg is a high level authority over Hollywood. The House of Oettingen-Wallerstein are also nobles of the Badens, Wurttembergs, and Wittelsbachs with Prince Moritz, Prince Karl Eugen, Prince Ludwig-Maximilian, Prince Friedrich-Alexander, Prince Kraft-Ernst, Prince Philipp-Karl, and Prince Leopold-Ludwig from the House of Oettengin-Wallerstein. The Wurttembergs and Badens originally ruled in Swabia and the Wurttembergs have the Swabian flag on their coat of arms. Charles Schwab who is worth over 8 billion and is the head of the bank Charles Schwab Corporation is an agent of the Badens and Wurttembergs. Schwab derives from the German name for Swabia which is Schwaben.
The House of Wurttemberg work closely with the Hohenzollern, Waldburg-Zeil, Anhalt, Hanover, Wittelsbach, Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and Hesse families as well as the House of Baden headed up by Margrave Maximilian of Baden along with Prince Bernhard of Baden, Princess Stephanie of Baden, Prince Michael of Baden, Prince Berthold of Baden, and Prince Ludwig of Baden. Princess Stephanie is a dangerous child murdering pedophile and witch and she manages the wicked Illuminati idol Gwen Stefani who is involved with sacrificing children. Gwen Stefani manages female Nazis like a terroristic gang stalker named Stephanie Loheman. The Zahringen-Baden family are primarily Roman Catholic and frequently married with the House of Wurrtemberg. The Zahringen coat of arms is of a phoenix. The Warlocks motorcycle gang in the United States is owned by the Baden-Zahringens and Wurttembergs and the Warlocks established a chapter in Germany near Baden-Wurttemberg called the Phoenix clubhouse. The Badens and Wurttembergs also own the German based Gremium MC gang which operate in Baden-Wurttemberg. The House of Zahringen-Baden founded various towns in the Holy Roman Empire including Berne, Switzerland. Udo Tschira and Harald Tschira are part owners of SAP and both worth about 9 billion. Their father Klaus was a co-founder of SAP who was from Baden and went to the Baden family established Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. The Holy Roman families have large amounts of wealth concealed in private Swiss banks and have shares in various major corporations. They also have assets like land, gold, and resources. These families owned large amounts of land in Germany and employed bankers and businessmen through their royal households. The Wurttemberg family still own palaces in Monrepos, Altshausen, and in Friedrichshafen which is where Rolls-Royce Power Systems is headquartered. The Oppenheimer family worked as Court Factors for the House of Wurttemberg with Joseph Oppenheimer who was as a money handler for Duke Charles Alexander of Wurttemberg. Joseph Oppenheimer was executed for fraud, embezzlement, and treason yet the Wurttemberg family that employed him were left alone. This is why Christian monarchs use Court Jews. It creates a layer of protection for them. This is what fueled the Nazi propaganda in 20th century. Royal families own the gold that Court Jews handle and they still prop up Jewish bankers today to distract from themselves and finance Nazi propagandists to blame all Jews for all evils. The House of Wurttemberg own Volksfront a Neo-Nazi organization that uses the Algiz rune for its symbol which means elk. The Wurttembergs have a deer or an elk on their coat of arms.
The Wurttemberg family spent about 600,000 rheinguldens to build their New Palace of Stuttgart. One rheingulden would be worth about 100-140 dollars today. The royal and noble families monopolize gold and other resources. They stored gold and silver in their vaults and then would provide some to bankers which they employed as proxies as a veil to conceal their wealth. The Oppenheimer family are still Court Factors working under the House of Wurttemberg and they created and run Anglo American Corporation for the House of Wurttemberg which is a large diamond and gold mining company in South Africa and is headed up by Nicky Oppenheimer who is worth about 7 billion and his son Jonathan Oppenheimer who is worth over 6 billion. Anglo American Corporation has large shares in De Beers. Ephraim Mirvis is the Chief Rabbi in the UK and from South Africa. Mirvis serves the Oppenheimers. Chief Rabbi of South Africa Warren Goldstein also serves the Oppenheimer family. A founder of political Zionism Theodor Herzl became friends with Grand Duke Frederick I of Baden who helped Herzl with the Zionist agenda. Ludwig Merckle is worth about 5 billion and is from Ulm in Baden-Wurttemberg. His father Adolf Merckle who died in 2009 was worth over 12 billion as the founder of Phoenix Pharmahandel which is owned by Merckle Group and is located in Mannheim, Baden-Wurttemberg. The Baden-Zahringen family use a phoenix on their coat of arms. The Merckle family are Court Factors for the House of Baden. Angela Merkel’s first husband was Ulrich Merkel. Karl Rapp founded what is today BMW and he was from Ehingen, Baden-Wurttemberg. The Quandt family are the majority owners of BMW with Stefan Quandt worth about 15 billion today and he went to the Zahringen-Baden’s Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. The Quandt family and BMW worked with the Nazis and used Nazi prisoners for slave labor. The Wurttemberg and Baden families are extremely wealthy Nazis working with Jewish businessmen and have leverage and authority over the stock market.
When the Republicans are looking for corruption in Ukraine maybe they should look at themselves first. DISGRACEFUL ROTTEN TO THE CORE.This is what you’re showing the World 👎🌍🇿🇦
@Rick Rose True. The US was built on corruption.
And the idea, Rick Rose, that the aid was contingent on the anti-corruption statement is yet to be proven. In any case, I am not aware of any draft of the proposed statement that mentioned either Joe or Hunter Biden. Are you?
How many times, people like CH ? The Bidens were there, on behalf of Obama, and in the company of reps from other western countries, to root out corruption in Ukraine, beginning with getting the former president, Petrushenko, ousted from office, as he was also corrupt. When Zelinsky was elected, he vowed to continue the anti-corruption action begun by this delegation. Trump had zero interest in Ukraine, except to help him cheat in the 2020 election, by having its president Zelinsky, announce, publicly, an investigation, accompanied by a made up story about supposed corrupt practices coming from Hunter Biden at Burisma. Case closed, end of story. Life is short. Move along. 😔
Democrats are owned by the same Oligarchs who own Republicans. But keep hating only the GOP: that divisiveness is EXACTLY what those in power want.
@Karin Meyer It was Yanukovych who was ousted by a NATO-backed, fascist-led coup in 2014 because he had reservations about a trade agreement that would have essentially made Ukraine part of NATO. Poroshenko was then put in power.
The only way in which the republican party can win. By gerrymandering states and by cheating.
Wisconsin and Georgia have already purged voter roles 300,000 people have NOT been notified. Target – Democratic districts. Brace yourself, the GOP will cheat in 2020.
We just need some boots on the ground to make sure everyone is properly register to vote. Stacey Abrams has already got a group of volunteers in the State of Georgia to get everyone properly register to vote. We just need a group of volunteers in every State to make sure everyone is properly register to vote.

KEEP PUSHING THROUGH IF YOU’RE NOT REGISTERED AND DON’T GIVE UP! I DIDN’T!
@Crimdor You are totally full of BS.
I’m from Germany and I’m absolutely confused – how is it even possible to cancel ONE voter right in a democracy?? that’s a sham…..
C H uh huh right …Show Me the Letters Mailed to all of the people and then I will believe it was done. Our government has been rigged against us the people for 200 yrs We the people in the millions must demand a 3day talk with the President and the administration, of both governments to answer our questions live in person in an 100,000 seat arena . On the second and third day a new turn of people will fill the 100,000 seats. The people will insist that each State has the same face to face talk meeting. The people must hire their own policing protection for these events.

@ashley Yes, the willingness of the populace to pay attention to The Actions of leaders/politicians/lawmakers/judges is imperative! When one takes the ‘kool aid’ from a rally, sound bite or radio talk show, then all thinking stops. That’s the nature of advertising.
Unless we are alert to that scam and fight it, we are doomed.
@C H that can’t happen in other countries. To vote here if you’ve moved you have to inform the electoral office of a change of address. If you only move a short time before voting you vote in your old address. You can register in another address because our system is national
One electoral office only covers federal state and local elections.
Trump’s Nazi father pressured a doctor, whose offices were in Trump’s building, to write a false report that the Donald had Bone Spurs to keep him out of the war.
Sound familiar?
The congregational medal of cowardly behavior “The Golden Bone Spur”
His grandfather left his country cuz he didn’t want to fight in World war 1..he came here and wasn’t a citizen so he didn’t fight . trumps dad had some medical issues for
World War 11. Trump of course with Viet Nam.
And he’s been a cheater ever since. Proud AmERIcAn moment aye?! So tired of the B’sh+t
Texas has been trending purple, wonder what neat little practices I see coming from my state this year…
As if all the voter suppression, gerrymandering, and malfunctioning voting machines here wasnt enough already.
Rachel reported on a case just before the midterms where the district that contains a black college dereistered all students there. Then the polling station there closed. Polling places next to Mexican neighborhoods and working class people close all the time
Here in Europe it is the voters who choose the politicians, not the politicians choosing their voters.
Just saying.
@Crimdor that couldn’t happen in Australia. I also heard on the news republicans are purging thousands off their register. Here we don’t register with a party. You join a party to support ut but you don’t have to stand for an election unless you want to. But belonging to that party gives you the right to elect a member to run your district group. But because you join a party assumes you would vote for that member.
It also dies not obligate you to vote for that party either if you think another person’s policies are better. We still remain an independent voter. Actually no one asks each other how we vote it’s actually bad manners to ask.
@Crimdor don’t think outsiders have a right to talk about USA politics ? When use politics time us into very dumb war it gets itself into. Our loved ones are dying too in these never ending were.
Esarjay – look you dummy, clearly you are drunk or your google translate isn’t working in your Indian office.
Go away.
@Jon Stone Yes, absolutely
@Jon Stone we can too. We can also vote early if we are going away. People who can’t get to polling booths can request the papers to be sent to them… the other thing that I can’t understand is how many voting boxes go missing in the USA and found months after counting. We count the votes at the polling booth once it’s closed. Polling booth staff count the votes in front of a representative of each candidate plus other onlookers. Count untill the count is agreed on
Votes are then packed up and sent to the electoral office but results have already been reported before the boxes leave.. ofcourse sometimes a few dead people vote from some unscrupulous people but never enough to make a big difference. Some one will always try their luck.
I think it’s pretty clear now that the GOP at this point is no longer a party that respects any democratic systems and institutions. I mean, this is nothing short of authoritarian tactics, and in other democracies parties that are fundamentally opposed to democracy and their constitution are dissolved.
The GOP of today is the Confederate party of the civil war. Traitors then, traitors now. No wonder you see the Confederate flags fly high at their rallies. What more must be said?
@Lex K The very first step is to ensure that Republicans hold no congressional majorities. Simply put, it is a #votebluenomatterwho situation in 2020 – for all contests – and for the next several election cycles. It is not a matter of needing Democrats in power per se, it is acknowledging that, while neither party in our entrenched two-party system is perfect, the Democrats are truly the better choice.
True but an awful lot of people still vote for them, certainly tells us a lot about the “American way of life”!
Why do we still pretend that the Republicans and ‘conservatives’ of the Trump-cult are decent people?
@thewanderandhiscomp pedos like Clinton, and the blackmailed Epstein ( friends ). Lol that’s why I call you a sheep.
John Lyons You sound like the extent of your political knowledge comes from the movie “Black Sheep”

The rapturous rabble are thought to be NOT reasonable people and the GOP leadership are thought to be crooked and evil…so, NOT decent.
This is their plan…cheat. Check your voter registration way before the next election. I plan to canvas my whole neighborhood.
That is a good plan because often people forget to register when they move.
Republicans can’t do anything legit, they have to lie, cheat and steal to win. SMH
We overcome it with record turnout. This will also upend their gerrymander schemes. In a wave election, they’ll lose more seats from their own gerrymanders failing than they gain through cheating. A lot of their ‘safe’ districts are just barely over half GOP. If we all turn out, they are all vulnerable.
The Confederate party of today.
The Republicans have never been fans of true democracy and what it stands for. They know their increasingly unpopular policies will never get them elected fairly, and so they cheat to win.
Sounds more n more like we’re heading towards a dictatorship…baby steppin us right along.
Sazy Plew exactly. But what are the “freedom loving citizens” doing about it? Take some direction from France and Hong Kong.
More like goose stepping it along the way. Don’t say anything bad our about our Dear Imperious Leader, Comrade Trump!
We’re already there. Trump declared that as president, he can do anything he wants, and the GOP is 100% behind him. The house Republicans voted unanimously against renewing the Voting Rights Act; the Dems passed it, but it will die in the Senate. This voter purge is just the beginning: look for voter suppression and intimidation on an unprecedented scale. Meanwhile the GOP propaganda machine is spewing disinformation in all directions, and repeating conspiracy theories cooked up by Russian intelligence. People who were dumb enough to fall for the Pizzagate story will believe anything. The next election may be the last.

“If there is one fact we really can prove, from the history that we really do know, it is that despotism can be a development, often a late development and very often indeed the end of societies that have been highly democratic.. A despotism may almost be defined as a tired democracy. As fatigue falls on a community, the citizens are less inclined for that eternal vigilance which has truly been called the price of liberty; and they prefer to arm only one single sentinel to watch the city while they sleep.”
― G.K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man
“There’s no English equivalent for silovik. It doesn’t translate succinctly because to create something as Machiavellian as a silovik requires both the KGB and the GRU, and then a shift from communism to capitalism, followed by a gear-grinding reverse into despotism.”
― Tanya Thompson, Red Russia
“The actions of government, we are told, bear down only on imprudent souls who provoke them. The man who resigns himself and keeps silent is always safe. Reassured by this worthless and specious argument, we do not protest against the oppressors. Instead we find fault with the victims. Nobody knows how to be brave even prudentially. Everyone stays silent, keeping his head low in the self-deceiving hope of disarming the powers that be by his silence. People give despotism free access, flattering themselves they will be treated with consideration. Eyes to the ground, each person walks in silence the narrow path leading him safely to the tomb.”
― Benjamin Constant, Principles of Politics Applicable to All Governments
@junglechick13 meet me by the third tree, next to your hut.
lol, thanks, I needed a good laugh and you have no idea how close to mark your comment is…the tree has the antenna that allows me to get internet…that tree, right?
@junglechick13 she said it a couple weeks ago, while sitting talking to some interviewer. Nothing negative about Dems Will be shown here. Look else where once and a while. Not just msm. To get the whole truth.
@junglechick13 perfect, it’s raining here so I’ll be wet when I get there.
@junglechick13 a Dem with a sense of humor. That is a welcome change, from the angry, vile crazed ones.
🇺🇸 President Theodore Roosevelt — “Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.”
yep. I refer to that shadow government as the dynastically wealthy. inherited wealth is unelected power and a cancer in the body of a democracy.
billionaires are the enemy.
Is everyone checking to see if their voter registration is correct?
bc1969214, Why, no. Uh. Why would I do that? I don’t have time to walk into a building and talk to people or go online. Uh. How dare you? I shouldn’t have to do stuff.
No, of course they’re not.
That’s the point.
Georgia tried to keep me from getting registered but I didn’t give up and I voted last year. I waited for weeks to receive a card and it never came until I called and made a huge fuss about it and they ended up sending it.
@Kathy Sexton for whom?
@Annie Well, you DO know that is private information
Makes you wonder if a single republican has ever won in a fair election.
No, forget it. You are too stupid to understand.
Get over it ….stop crying its pitiful.
@Rod Allen Hi Comrade Moron. St. Petersburg snowing yet…
Does anyone seriously still think America is a democracy?
