(Sort of like the Black Panthers?) That decision by New Jersey district judge John Michael Vazquez, appointed by President Barack Obama, allowed Republicans to mount a sprawling $20 million program in 15 states that will include 50,000 volunteers, according to a New York Times report.”Additionally, Carrasquillo wrote, “Election lawyers who spoke to Newsweek said they saw Trump’s tweet last week about possibly delaying the election as irrefutable evidence that he knows he’s losing to Joe Biden right now. They worry it means he might be willing to do anything to get an edge on Election Day.”Sniphttps://www.rawstory.com/2020/08/trump-may-deploy-federal-agents-to-polling-locations-to-suppress-turnout-election-lawyers/

(Yes, they are. But it's from the Dems.) Democrats are the educated ones remember.We are on notice. maybe a million or so people in the streets all over the USA before that can happen can TUNE THEM UP a little? This will be our last chance.personally, I don't want to live in dons world should he 'win' again.We shouldn't cower from voting. Over my dead body.I hope people feel the same way, but, if they don't, it's ok. I'm voting Nov. 3rd.
Star Member LiberalArkie (12,781 posts) 6. I wonder if they will require a voter to pull down their mask to verify the face with the id?

Rumor has it that if you aren't breathing you can't vote.
