United States U.S. Supreme Court to hear case that could boost politicians' power over elections

[MrNiceGuy]

Biden and the Dems had better find a way to grow a pair and quit running from this fight or the cons will rig elections so tight that there won't ever be a coming back from.

Rig elections? That's a myth. There is no "widespread election rigging." Stop spreading disinformation.

 

[iguanaman]

So they should install Biden if he loses?

I think they installed the winner, although we would have been much better off if they had not.

Installing the winner is not what Republicans want. They don't think they should ever lose and are trying to make that law. Heads I win tails you lose is their motto.

 

[highroller]

Republicans know that they have to tilt the rules in their favor or they will lose.

They don’t tell the rules in their favor. They exploit every weakness in the system to game it.

That’s rigging.

 

[iguanaman]

Rig elections? That's a myth. There is no "widespread election rigging." Stop spreading disinformation.

No not yet but the Republicans are trying hard to change that. Heads I win tails you lose is how they want it to work.

Allowing legislatures to pick their own voters to the desired outcome is rigging an election.

Move the military back north, turn off the tap of northern and western wealth to the Old Confederacy, leave Manchin to explain why WV's federal money has dried up, break the stupid cloture rule, and prosecute all the Trumpists, up to an including treason charges. For starters.

I really wish somebody would fight for us. Because they never do.

At least this sentiment is getting coverage this time around:

Democrats, here's a thought: Stand up for your own voters for once

Democrats have lost the plot. I'm furious at them, and terrified at the consequences. They need a better story

They fight for money and power. With an emphasis on money.

Well, Kamala Harris will be the next person to "certify" the electoral votes, so...

I guess you've decided to never stop gaslighting.

 

[Checkerboard Strangler]

To those who don't know history perhaps. Funny thing is, the right was throwing staged riots back then at that election too.

​

That riot was a Roger Stone production.

 

[Common Sense 1]

And the democrats scream pack the court so we can get our way.

Abolish the filibuster so we can pass any laws we want. And do it now!

So predictable!

U.S. Supreme Court to hear Republican bid to curb judicial oversight of elections

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to hear a Republican-backed appeal that could give state legislatures far more power over federal elections by limiting the ability of state courts to review their actions, taking up a North Carolina case that could have broad implications for the 2024...

This country is headed for the ****ing toilet with this Supreme Court.

?? They are doing a great job as of late, moving away from more ideological decisions, and pushing power back to the people to make decisions through their legislatures.

In this situation, they are agreeing to hear the case.

They have made activist decisions. This is going to be another.

They've already made their decision. The case is a formality.

Bush won that election by 537 votes. And people say voter fraud is too small to matter.

I thought it was more than ten-thousand.

I know, so let's shut them out .

 

[OrphanSlug]

It would be shocking for this Supreme Court to rule *against* Republicans picking their voters.

Should state legislators be able to ignore the votes of their constituents, constitution and judges to pick who they want to be president in your opinion?

Of course not.

Right lol.

How about we give enough of NYC to every Republican voting district in upstate NY so that those right leaning citizens votes won’t matter?

You up for that?
