How Louisiana Republicans are weakening Black political power and adding new barriers to the ballot. And how to support the effort to recall Gov. Jeff Landry.
BTW: by my calculations 27% of Americans identify Republican now (similar % Democrat ) and about 15 % of that 27% never voted for Trump in primaries or poll favorable to him . That's millions of Republicans ( Americans ) who shouldn't be cancelled or called names and seen as always looking for bi partisanship. Trump recently got elected by the addition of independents and Democrats to that 27% . That requires some introspection. Mike Tudor
What we require now is totally adequate. There currently is no state-wide voting fraud reported. Signing an affidavit in front of those poll workers would deter that potential fraudster for sure. Creating additional hurdles penalizes the very poor which in raw numbers might be more white than black. Anyone toured the "backcountry" of La. lately ? The percentage of voter turn out other than presidential is PITIFUL ! Election dates should be consolidated and held on a mid work day week which is made a state holiday. And more state money allocated to Secretary of State voter information. Mike Tudor
Great analysis! Mr. Forrest is correct and I would add, do not even look or think about our La. elected Republicans, they all stink. Without exceptions!! We, We, will fix this, get out and vote and do good harm! Do not give the Repugs any notice and take the high road. HONORABLECOMMONDEFENCE, against all enemies, foreign and domestic.....thanks
time to start gathering friends for a signing party
Well described, Bob! My solution: I see in the face of all Republican politicians that of Donald Trump. I cannot unsee it.
Thank you for sharing. Oh so true
