Democrats keep losing because they refuse to use dirty tricks against Republicans who use dirty tricks every chance they get.

Evil will always triumph because good is dumb.

While it’s infuriating they tried to cancel my vote, this decision is relatively limited and just blocks the election boards from pre-canvassing the ballots.

It’s stupid and will lead to delays but at least so far even this tame Republican judge upstate wasn’t willing to go as far as the fascists asked her to.

They're right on the precipice of a generation of Republican election theft.

New York State actually has quite a few competitive congressional races right now because our liberal judiciary made the state draw maps that weren’t completely gerrymandered.

Meanwhile red states have no problem with it and are aggressively tilting the scales in their favor.

So NY could end up helping Democrats lose control of congress because of judges appointed by Democrats, lol.

Because I know it’s very difficult for people like you to grasp this concept but not everyone has id. NYS does not require an id and hasn’t for years and has no issues with voter fraud. In fact any of the issues these laws are supposed to remedy are literally imaginary. Voter fraud is so rare as to be a nullity.

Now I just wonder why people like you want to make it harder for others to vote? Could it be because the more people vote the worse it is for republicans? I sure do wonder.

You sure you want to challenge me on this? Because in your column we have “suppressing votes for literally no reason except to make democracy weaker” and in my column we have “realizes voter fraud is a literal nullity and wants to increase voter participation wherever possible.” I am honestly so sick of your kind. You should be ashamed of yourself for wanting voting to be harder.

I’m sure. You go to the polling place and vote. So hard. Everything else is ripe for corruption. And with Hillary and Stacy saying republicans steal elections. Isn’t that what we need?

Haha so you’re basically a “big steal” believer. Yeah that tracks. That’s actually exactly what trump tried to do, steal the election when he knew he was going to lose and then after he actually lost. Get bent dude. The only risk to democracy is republicans pretending they won when they didn’t and suppressing votes. There’s literally no other “corruption” at large in the voting process. None, zero. You aren’t worth talking to.

No it’s good keep talking you’re just exposing who you are. FYI voting is not a privilege, it’s a constitutionally protected right. But yeah I know why you and yours want to make it harder. Because when it’s easier you lose more. And lol here comes the illegal aliens talk because of course. Can’t have an honest discussion about voting without hysteria over illegal aliens voting which pretty much never happens.
