From the article:
The U.S. Supreme Court handed the Trump administration a huge win Monday by allowing an executive order designed to sharply curtail mail voting to go into effect — a move California and other Democratic-led states have warned could thrust the midterm elections into chaos.
Rushing through unprecedented changes to the mail voting system will be especially challenging for California, where more than 80% of voters use mail ballots and every registered voter receives a ballot by mail.
In an unsigned ruling, apparently by a 6-3 vote, the court said the states would not show they would be harmed by the restrictions on mail voting and therefore lacked legal standing to challenge it in court.
Nothing good ever comes about from making things harder for people to vote.
If it’s this easy to “overthrow a democracy”, you never had a democracy.
Fuck the Supreme clownshow, the damn dictatorship enablers
Can we kill them now? Like if they keep taking away our rights are they really rights anymore?
When the soap box has been ignored for decades, and the ballot box is getting manipulated by the jury box, then there’s only one box left to defend liberty.
Absolutely yes.
If you know anyone that still supports this admin fart in there general direction
Stupid fucks overthrowing democracy off of a technicality.
If we do not prosecute and hang 4-10 people in particular for treason then we have failed.
The blue states just need to enact malicious compliance. They could declare a floating public holiday called voting day, pay electoral staff penalty rates and make it a law that all workers required to work that day are given paid time off to attend a nearby voting station. They could setup a time slot booking system that lets people nominate a voting station and a timeslot with information about how many people are attending at that time so they can make informed decisions about when to attend. Could they impose a tarrif (apparently it’s not a tax) on political parties so that a percentage of their donations need to go to supporting the local elections. Republican billionaires want to buy elections? Whoops all democracy.
hakeem jeffries doesn’t believe in voting day. or medicare for all.
Luckily he’s federal so hopefully the state governments are a little less gutless
It’s democrats we are talking about lol cmon now
lol the opposition to the party with evil plans is the party with no plans.
*controlled opposition
A man can dream =(
Most states already have something like that in effect. Even Missouri gives you 2 or 3 hours paid time off to go vote.
Another obscenely fascist sycophantic ruling from the morally destitute GOP majority on the US Supreme Court
Don’t forget that at least 5 of them are easily bribed.
Time to spin up state post offices real quick.
ok, so now more keyboard warriors shouting. Then they go back to the next episode of Ted Lasso. Republicans are dismantling your country in front of you.
Sharing information is a whole hell of a lot more useful than whatever it is you think you’re doing.
And really the people here reading that comment are aware people. Keyboard warriors are not the problem. It’s the droves of unaware or uncaring folk out there that are the problem. Media (the wealthy) do not want them to know, so they remain unaware or ambivalent whilst democracy gets ripped and torn to shreds for profit and power. Blech.
And when the Untied States is finally indisputably a dictatorship, a lot of Americans as well as other people around the world will still be fucking oblivious
Is the next episode of Ted Lasso out yet?
What do you suggest and what country are you advising from?
