The Republican National Committee is urging the Supreme Court to intervene in an Arizona election dispute this week and block up to 40,000 of the state’s registered voters from casting ballots in the presidential race.
Republican state lawmakers say these voters did not provide proof of their citizenship when they were registered and now they should be barred from from voting in person or by mail.
…
Danielle Lang, a voting rights attorney for the Campaign Legal Center who worked on the case, said she found that argument to be surprising.
“They are trying to upend the law as it has been in Arizona at least since 2018,” she said. “The voters who registered using the federal form were not asked to provide proof of citizenship.”
She said the Republican lawmakers and their attorneys who brought the case “didn’t cite a single example of a noncitizen who was enrolled. Not one. Why would someone who is not a citizen try to register? It’s a felony and would get you deported, just to cast one ballot.”
So you vote for the more competent Republican who will still be voting for all of that party’s terrible policies, but will also be making them look less incompetent.
That isn’t whe win you think it is.
He is quite literally saying that he always votes for democrats in the general election, but votes in the republican primary, which is not a real vote for office but a vote to the RNC that signals who to run in the general.
We aren’t all fortunate enough to live in a Democrat or battleground district/state, so sometimes the best you can do is try to nudge the RNC to be less crazy while still voting blue in the generals.
I live in a hard red state, but thanks for trying.
And that makes any of what I said less true how?
Mate I vote for the most batshit lunatics
Yeah this guy is trying to tell you you aren’t thinking outside the box, while not realizing he is in his own little box called “following the socially accepted rules from a time before politicians tried to overthrow the government”
It’s the same reason I support fighting AI disinformation with counter disinformation. Survival has only one rule: do whatever you need to do to survive.
Thanks for Trump.
You’re speaking with the privilege of someone who lives in a blue or battleground state. I live in a hard red state, which will always vote red no matter what. The best I can hope for is to vote for the least crazy leopards in the primaries, because that’s the only way to realistically affect change and prevent the Overton window from shifting even farther right.
No, I live in a hard red state: Kansas
