Judge strikes down portions of Florida's racist election law

[Subieguy]

Yes your honor. Well done and thank you.

As I have been saying all along about most of these bills they unfairly target black voters.

A federal judge struck down portions of a Florida election law passed last year, saying in a ruling Thursday that the Republican-led government was using subtle tactics to suppress Black voters

“For the past 20 years, the majority in the Florida Legislature has attacked the voting rights of its Black constituents,” Walker added.
Florida’s Republican-led legislature joined several others around the country in passing election reforms after Republican former President Donald Trump made unfounded claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him. Democrats have called such reforms a partisan attempt to keep some voters from the ballot box.

Much of the debate focused on vote-by-mail ballots and how they are collected and returned. The new law also limited when people could use a drop box to submit their ballot.
The office of Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, which made the election bill a priority, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

May we hope other Judges in other states see the light as well?

Federal Judge Strikes Down Portions Of Racist Florida Election Law

The judge said that the law unfairly targeted Black voters. It's one of several similar voter suppression measures passed by GOP-led states.

The judge will be overruled. Florida doesn't not have to allow mail-in ballots at all. Alaska doesn't. Only those voters who have personally requested an absentee ballot are allowed to mail in their ballots, nobody else. Furthermore, drop boxes require supervision in order to verify chain of custody. If the State chooses not to provide that supervision, then those drop boxes - and all the ballots they contain - become invalid and are tossed into the trash.

In the infamous words of the first Democrat President Andrew Jackson, "The courts made their decision, now lets see them enforce it."

If these cases reach the Supreme Court, I hope at least 5 Justices will agree that these laws are not aimed at any particular group.

These laws simply wish to ensure honest elections.

It seems, however, that the Dems will eventually get to appoint more Justices to the Court during the Biden years and if the Dems win the White House in 2024.

So those laws will eventually be declared unconstitutional because of the zeitgeist in this nation.

Are military and overseas votes "supervised"?

I don't agree with your assessment. Biden may indeed get to appoint more Supreme Court justices, but it depends on who controls the Senate. Obama did not get consent from the Senate for his nominee to the Supreme Court, for which the nation should be very grateful. It is unlikely that Biden will have another Supreme Court nominee accepted by the Senate after this coming November election, so this is really his one and only shot and it will not change the composition of the court. Biden is replacing one leftist POS with another leftist POS.

When they have a polling station established on base, absolutely. However, most military votes are cast via absentee ballot.

I voted absentee twice when I served in the Marine Corps from 1972 until 1980. In November of 1972 I was just graduating boot camp, and in November 1976 I was in 14 Area of Main Side, Camp Pendleton, CA. Although my vote was included with the State of Nebraska at the time, because that is the State where I originally enlisted.

So chain of custody is a problem?

hmm? the judge is an Obama appointee-doesn't mean his ruling is improper but if the judge was say a Trump appointee, then the ruling would have more gravitas

Do you want to know a secret TD??? This ruling will STAND... I shit you not... It will get fast-tracked... By the 2022 midterms

Even the Supreme Court will uphold it... This is their "Get Out of Jail Free" card. to clean up Roberts's ****ed up decision in the Supreme Court decision in Shelby V holder voting rights bill... On June 25, 2013, the United States Supreme Court held that it is unconstitutional to use the coverage formula in Section 4(b) of the Voting Rights Act to determine which jurisdictions are subject to the preclearance requirement of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, Shelby County v. Holder, 133 S. Ct... Roberts will reverse himself, and bring another rePuke with him...

The SCOTUS can not let all these new Voter Suppression bills stand... It would destroy America... and they know it...
-peace

voter suppression laws-hmmm. that sounds like loaded language

 

[jcgriff2]

Yes, by their superiors.

Yes, by their superiors.

More fantasy... They are sent through regular mail just like your electric bill and subscription of Trump Fantasy magazine...

voter suppression laws-hmmm. that sounds like loaded language Call it what it is...

If you read the ruling carefully, which I did, it reeks of Roberts's inputs and collaboration...
They do not want a blood bath at the polls on their hands...
The country would not recover from that...

Any State that allows unrequested and unverified ballots to be mailed in, is asking for massive voter fraud. Their election results cannot be trusted.

You apparently didn't get the memo. Anyone who disagrees with leftist filth is automatically a "racist." That is the only meaning the term has.

Racist = Not a leftist piece of shit.

As usual, Democrats say black voters are too poor or stupid to vote.

Bullshit.

Honest elections? Zeitgeist?

That whole post is absolute bullshit.

So how would such a law inhibit black people from voting then?!? Looks like they can vote just fine.

Taking the House and/or Senate is just temporary, I assure you. The way the Biden Administration screwed things up so badly.

How many Trump appointed judges have ruled against his policies, lies, appeals, etc? More than a few.

that really has nothing to do with what i stated, does it. we do know that GOP judges are more likely to rule against their party than dem judges are

Why is that? Are you implying they are less biased?
