U.S. Curtails Federal Election Observers (fortune.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Fortune:
Federal election observers can only be sent to five states in this year's U.S. presidential election, among the smallest deployments since the Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965 to end racial discrimination at the ballot box. The plan, confirmed in a U.S. Department of Justice fact sheet seen by Reuters, reflects changes brought about by the Supreme Court's 2013 decision to strike down parts of the Act...
Attorney General Loretta Lynch said on Friday the Justice Department's ability to deploy election observers had been "severely curtailed" by the Supreme Court's decision... Dale Ho, director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Voting Rights Project, said federal observers are especially needed this year because 17 states have tightened restrictions on voting since the last presidential election.

Stuff the box...the Clinton Mafia will see to that, not to mention her buddy Trump really doesn't want to be president. Give up all his power, wealth? For a job that pays 200k per year? Having the secret service all the time, having to put up with congress? He's even mentioned that if he won, he wonders if he had to actually take it. He's been trying to dump it since the early summer, but "Trumpsters" continue to buy his BS. He only got into it, to make sure a real Conservative didn't get the nod. By being "Trump" and making brash statements, he stole ALL of the spotlight from any real serious candidate.
Why the fuck was my post modded down? My god, the moderation on this site is shit. It's far more like censorship, and really doesn't serve a useful purpose. Fuck moderators. Maybe it's time to give up posting ontopic, useful comments. Instead, I'll just troll this site endlessly until the moderation ceases.
#2 Democrats, because the know better than the populace.
Funny, how Obama's Justice Department dropped the only voter-intimidation/suppression case documented in recent history — as if that was curtailed by something too...
Really? Link please.
I prefer the "u" in honour as it seems to be missing these days.
It is always evil, but no one other than Black men have done it in recent memory.
Unsupported and unsubstantiated accusations. Most of it boils down to fighting attempts to verify voter-eligibility — equating that with voter-intimidation is laughable. Ha-ha...
In Soviet Washington the swamp drains you.
