Florida GOP shenanigans: when voter suppression just isn't enough!

That's the way it works Marty.  You don't have to reregister every single election.

[Martinus]

That's the way it works Marty.  You don't have to reregister every single election.

Oh ok. So why is there so much fuss about it? I mean, that's pretty much how it works in Europe too.

Because racists think that black people are unable to register to vote even once in their lives.

The fuss is about the people who haven't reregistered after a move, or who never registered in the first place.

My understanding is in most European countries you have to register your place of residence with the authorities so a seperate registration to vote is superfluous.

In the US registering to vote and voting are voluntary acts.

[The Brain]

Voluntary voting?? WTF

[Tonitrus]

Private companies/actors shouldn't be able to go around registering voters anyway.  If you want to vote, one should go to an appropriate state agency.

Why not just completely take away poor people's right to vote while you're at it?

If they're too lazy to go to register to vote, they're probably too lazy to vote as well.

[Razgovory]

Well part of the fuss has been taking people off the voting rolls with for supposed fraud when in fact, no crime has been committed.

No, first we killed all the lawyers.  If you are still around after that, you can make suggestions.

If it weren't for lawyers, you'd be locked up in a straightjacket, so I suggest you modulate your attitude stat.

Incorrect.  I've never had a day in court and never needed to have a lawyer.  All my trips to the hospital were self admitted.

The ability to self-admit and check yourself out are the creation of lawyers.  Under the progressive thinking of the 1st half of the 20th century, they would have electroshocked you into insensibility and sterilized you.

...and by the Southern Conservative thinking of the time, you would be an uppity ferigner sub-Papist who would be subjected to constant harassment.

[Eddie Teach]

There's lots of papists in Missouri.

Uh, no.  The ability to self-admit and check out is not the creation of lawyers.  Hospitals predate the 20st century and people could self-admit themselves into hospitals without the need for lawyers.  It would be a bit strange for involuntary commitment laws to exist before the actual creation of the hospitals wouldn't it?

He's talking about Mississippi.

Sproul has also been linked to signature fraud this election cycle in his home state of Arizona where he was working on a ballot initiative that would allow the state to nullify any federal laws it finds to be unconstitutional.

Oh, god.  Doctrine of nullification.

Dude sounds like a kook who's almost 200 years past his sell-by date.

[Razgovory]

There was a lot of talk about the possibility of nullification a couple years back amongst the GOP.

[Zoupa]

You beacon of freedom you.

That's how it works everywhere.

Belgium doesn't count.
