Meanwhile, Ronald MacDONALD Desantis is sending out his election security police force to arrest people who aren’t allowed to vote. Keeping democracy safe for the true Americans. What a great way to suppress voting. Just start arresting people of color.

I'm only left to assume that this recent NYT report is why our resident morons have bumped an old thread about 2000 mules. 

 

You all can keep ***** ing off.

Judge rules letting NYers vote by mail due to fear of COVID unconstitutional
 

 

Allowing New Yorkers to vote by mail due to fear of COVID-19 is unconstitutional, a state judge said Friday in a ruling that Republican and Conservative Party leaders hailed as a victory for fair elections.

 

The 28-page ruling by Saratoga County Supreme Court Justice Dianne Freestone ordered local boards of election to stop counting the absentee ballots they’ve already received.

 

Instead, officials have to “preserve” the ballots until after Election Day or the resolution of a pending suit filed by state and local GOP and Conservative Party leaders.

Even god Fauci said it was perfectly safe to vote in person in 2020.

 

But politicians, against the advice of scientists, changed laws unconstitutionally anyway.

 

I wonder why?

Are you saying the sex offender should get to vote?

I’m not a fan of laws removing people’s rights, especially their right to vote. I mean, what relevance does the crime of a sex offender have to a persons right to vote. They are two unrelated issues. If you are convicted of tax evasion, should you lose your right to vote? How about traffic violations? What other rights of ours would you support the government taking when you are convicted of a crime and why is it ok to take the right to vote?
 

Now if a person has been convicted of domestic violence, that would be relevant to their rights to own a gun since they have demonstrated a predisposition for violence.  But I don’t see the right championing that cause.

I think if you commit certain crimes it's perfectly reasonable that you forfeit your right to vote.  Pedos, murderers, rapist etc

This better explains what’s going on in FL.

Quotes from link pasted below.


Fifty-five-year-old Kelvin Bolton was arrested at a homeless shelter earlier this year in Gainesville, Florida. He was held on a $30,000 bond and charged with three counts of third-degree perjury and fraud. His alleged crime? Voting with unpaid fines or court fees. … Bolton, who had been convicted for several nonviolent offenses, was registered to vote by the Alachua County Supervisor of Elections office while in jail.

 

In 2018, Floridians approved the Voting Restoration Amendment, known as Amendment 4, which aimed to restore voting rights to most state residents with past felony convictions who have completed their sentences. Amendment 4 put an end to Florida’s categorical policy of lifetime disenfranchisement for felony conviction, a policy with clear racist origins that was estimated to disenfranchise 1 in 4 Black men in the state. Supporters celebrated the amendment, which was estimated to expand the franchise to roughly 1.4 million Floridians. However, not even a year later, Florida’s Republican-controlled legislature passed Senate Bill 7066, which bars people from regaining their voting rights if they have outstanding court debts related to a felony conviction — as was the case with Kelvin Bolton.


Any law that requires people to pay to vote is fundamentally antidemocratic. But to make matters worse, Florida makes it virtually impossible for people with past convictions to determine with certainty what they might owe. The state lacks a centralized database for tracking court debt and payments, so there is no easy way to verify court debts within the state’s 67 counties or access data on federal or out-of-state financial obligations. As such, many formerly incarcerated people don’t know they have outstanding debts at all, nor are they aware these debts would render them ineligible to vote.

Do you think criminals don't know which govt is prosecuting them? It is either the county or state for criminal cases in Florida. It is pretty funny your argument is that some guys commit so many crimes that they can't keep track of all the times they have been convicted.

Of the things I’m concerned about in our country it’s so far down the list it’s not even on the first page. And the page is single spaced.
