A worthy sacrifice. We must do whatever we can to suppress the vote.

I mean, seniors are already sacrificing by getting COVID. They should just do their part and hold off on getting their meds too. Trump needs the Greatest Generation to keep playing the role, lest he give them a new nickname over Twitter.

A loss for the corrupt GOP. Any Hoya Republicans willing to defend your voter suppression efforts? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

The Supreme Court on Thursday rebuffed the Republican Party and allowed a consent decree to go forward so that Rhode Island voters during the coronavirus pandemic could cast mail-in ballots without in-person witness verification.

Trump-appointed judge orders Trump Campaign to put up or shutup in Pennsylvania voter "fraud" case.

The Trump campaign and Republicans had refused to do so. But with Thursday’s court order, they must answer questions from the Democratic groups and turn over records of communications — or say they have none. The Trump campaign has until Friday to respond, the judge said.

That leftist rag, NR on mail in voting.

It’s essential that public officials help the American public understand this in advance of the fall election, to help voters see that the fact that results may not be available within hours doesn’t mean the results aren’t reliable. In other words, public officials need to be conveying precisely the opposite of the message the president delivered in his tweet. They need to convey that message because it is the truth: There simply is no pattern of elevated fraud with mail-in-voting.

The president is obviously not trying to be constructive. His tweet is a cynical, manipulative effort to undermine public confidence in the legitimacy of the coming election, as he has worked to undermine public confidence in all of our institutions since the moment he entered the race for the presidency five years ago.

It's almost as if the system works...

It's about time the Dems at least try to counter the Republican Party's voter suppression effort. And I hope it has subpoenas ready when the corrupt Trump lackeys decline the "invitation."

The House Oversight Committee will hold an emergency hearing on mail delays and concerns about potential White House interference in the U.S. Postal Service, inviting Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and Postal Service board of governors Chairman Robert M. Duncan to testify Aug. 24, top Democrats announced on Sunday.

For years, voter suppression has been a mostly unspoken but obvious Republican election strategy. But as Democrats and others call for reforms to ensure Americans can safely cast ballots amid the coronavirus threat, Republicans from the president on down have gotten stunningly candid about their electoral playbook.

Politico reported on Friday that Donald Trump’s reelection campaign has launched a massive, pricey legal fight to block changes to the voting process, including a vote-by-mail proposal for November’s contest.

There’s a plausible way that independent voting experts worry President Trump could try to steal the election: by blocking the counting of mail-in ballots.

Democrats are much more supportive of voting by mail than Republicans, according to recent polls. That’s partly because Trump has falsely smeared mail-in voting as subject to widespread fraud.

Another Putin Puppet Ron Johnson to start GOP coverup masquerading as an oversight hearing. Trying to beat the Democratic House hearing scheduled for Monday to seize the narrative. Any Senate Republican willing to publicly rebuke the corrupt Postmaster General?

Capitulation by Trump lackey DeJoy. The question remains -- what measures will the corrupt regime take to otherwise delay the mail and is the damage already done since the Trump cultists now believe the election is "rigged"?

The U.S. Postal Service will halt its controversial cost-cutting initiatives until after the election — canceling service reductions, reinstating overtime hours and ceasing the removal of mail-sorting machines and public collection boxes, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy announced in a statement Tuesday.

The declaration comes as lawmakers prepared to question DeJoy and USPS board of governors Chairman Robert M. Duncan in a Friday hearing in the Senate and at a Monday hearing in the House on those policy changes, which have caused mail slowdowns and threatened to jeopardize ballot collection during the November election.
