Here’s how to fight Republican voting laws

I've said this before to no effect, so let's try again:

DON'T bother criticizing the actual voting provisions of Republican voting laws. They're mostly popular and mostly have close to zero effect on actual voting.

DO criticize the provisions that allow Republican legislatures to overturn results or replace election officials. Even most Republicans find these shocking when they hear about them.

That's about it. Why is this so hard?

Actually, I'm less nuanced than you suggest. I'm opposed to any political idea from a Trump voter. (Their non-political thinking also tends to be stupid, but sometimes, not often, there is a tiny gold nugget of an idea in their deranged brains.) To repeat the reason for the 1,000th time: I have never known a Trump voter who was NOT crazy and stupid, judging from the results of their lives, with the exception of rich Trump voters who selected him because they don't pay taxes, same as Trump doesn't. Trump is a genius at tax cheating!

Is Donald Trump smart on taxes, or a clever tax con man who committed 'outright fraud'?

The 15th Amendment commands that “the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.” But the pre-Voting Rights Act United States denied voting rights to millions of African Americans because powerful public officials — including judges — decided that they did not care what the Constitution had to say about voting rights. The Supreme Court isn’t even pretending that it’s bound by legal texts in its voting rights cases.

The rules in American elections are now what Chief Justice Roberts and his five even more conservative colleagues say they are — not what the Constitution or any act of Congress has to say about voting rights. In retrospect, it was probably inevitable that the conservative backlash against voting rights would flourish in the one unelected branch of the federal government.

If you are concerned about biased justices, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 is also dead, killed on July 1st, only 3 weeks ago, by 6 Republican Supreme Court justices.

The U.S. Supreme Court Thursday gutted most of what remains of the landmark Voting Rights Act. The court's decision, while leaving some protections involving redistricting in place, left close to a dead letter the law once hailed as the most effective civil rights legislation in the nation's history.

Senate Republicans blocked an attempt by Democrats to advance their signature voting and elections overhaul bill in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

This was an effort by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democrats in the chamber to put Republicans on the record on the voting rights package and to demonstrate that they are still trying to pass it despite stiff GOP opposition.

Good. If the democrats* REALLY wanted to improve the voting process, to make it fair, accurate, and auditable, they would have consulted the experts - the Caltech/MIT Voting Technology Project - and followed those recommendations. But that's not what they did.

If life is fair, then HR1 will never get off the ground.

Trump wanted to have the Justice Department push the Georgia state legislature to call its own special session, overturn the actual results, and declare Trump the real winner. That didn't happen only because other attorneys said they would resign en masse if Trump pulled this stunt. Caltech/MIT Voting Technology Project has nothing to say about Trump's stunt, but HR1 would have thwarted Trump. You can read about Trump's failed steal, 1kiki, here:

CalTech/MIT has procedures to prevent fuck-ups that lead to uncertainty - and competing and unverified claims - as well as procedures to unscramble results (data) after the fact and check for validity.

It has everything to do with the current crappy election process and how to fix it.

Unlike the democrats'* 'plan', which has everything to do with making elections even more ncertain and crappy.

I noticed that Trump voters don't use the maintenance/operation manuals at work they must read in order to competently do their jobs. Those over-confident, under-skilled Trumptards break a lot of machinery and tools because they don't know exactly what they are doing. It is more amusing than irritating to watch them botch simple jobs. Away from work, these guys probably cause a lot of damage and waste time/money because they pretty likely don't read with true comprehension anything they should read. That's why their work lives are a constant struggle while other people who understand what they read can sail through life with ease.

Every county in Texas, 254 of them, uses different technology from every other county because they pick whatever is cheapest or oldest or most obsolete. HR-1 will fix that, but leaving things as it is now, which is what the Texas Legislature intends, is doing the opposite of what Caltech/MIT recommends. The Legislature is "fixing" the system by excluding voters. There is no hardware or technological improvements in any the legislation because that would cost money.

Paper ballots cost next to nothing but are the most accurately-tallied way to vote. They can't be hacked electronically, and if they have a CoC they're accurate. And statistical audits ensure that large-scale fraud - perhaps like 2020 - won't go undetected.

But HR1 doesn't address that. Because the authors of HR1 don't want to fix the problems, they want to perpetuate them with, just with the addition their own brand of fraud-compliant loopholes.

Every Democrat but one voted late March 3 for H.R. 1, a massive voting reform bill that has drawn harsh criticism from the GOP.

Every Republican voted against the bill. They were joined by Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.).


Yeah, that looks dead. I don't see how an election reform with a completely one sided support would be at all democratic.

I agree about paper ballots, they should stay. It's stupid easy to defraud voting machines or online voting.

What should really happen here is states should take more control over their own local politics and obviate the US federal govt. I know the argument against that has always been "but slavery" but slavery is not the issue on the table.


But more than any of that I think basically every regime post 2000 has been "would you trust this govt to change the way elections are done?"

Not that you will understand, but there is a huge difference between having a manual and understanding the machine in the same way as the engineer who designed the machine described in the manual. The Trumptards get into trouble because they are confident in their very simplified working knowledge when they shouldn't be.

Trump: Audit not big enough

By Taylor Goldenstein AUSTIN BUREAU

Gov. Greg Abbott’s plan to audit the 2020 election results in four of the state’s biggest counties apparently did not pass muster for former President Donald Trump.

“By allowing the Democrats to do what they do, it will make it much harder for the governor and other Republicans to win election in 2022 and into the future,” Trump said in a statement to the Texas Tribune on Wednesday. “Texas is a much redder state than anyone knows, but this is the way to make sure it turns blue.”

Abbott’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday, but his spokeswoman Renae Eze said in a statement to the Tribune that “Texas is conducting the largest forensic audit in the country.”

“We have all the tools necessary to conduct a full, comprehensive audit, and that process will address any irregularities and ensure all valid votes are counted,” she said.

Last week, Trump in a public letter had pushed Abbott — who the former president has endorsed ahead of the 2022 Republican primary — to add legislation to the Legislature’s special session agenda that would make it easier for counties to audit election results.

“Texans know voting fraud occurred in some of their counties,” Trump wrote in the letter, despite a lack of evidence of widespread fraud. “Let’s get to the bottom of the 2020 Presidential Election scam!”

Later that day, the Texas secretary of state’s office announced it would audit Collin, Dallas, Harris and Tarrant counties’ election results, without providing much detail.

The office clarified in a document released Tuesday night how the audit would work, and much of it was already required of counties as part of routine election procedure review. The second phase was set to begin in spring 2022 and would involve reviewing voting machine accuracy tests, lists of voters, training materials and other election-related documents.

But Trump has been specific about his demand from the get-go: He wants House Bill 16, authored by Rep. Steve Toth, R-The Woodlands, to be added to the special session call and approved.

The bill would require county clerks to convene a “election review advisory committee” to review 2020 election results from randomly selected precincts if a state or county party chair requested it. Other provisions would make it easier for candidates and others to request audits from their county clerk or the secretary of state. taylor.goldenstein@chron.com

Sounds downright devious.

If you're a Democrat.

The Republican governor saw the election as legit, but when Trump said it wasn't (although Trump won by landslide in Texas) then the Republican governor changed his mind to please Trump. Trump alone is driving the change in voting laws in all states and the audits, too. It is Trump 24/7. If he wasn't selling the fake news that he won, Texas would not be auditing the vote again and again and again until Trump is satisfied.

No matter where the idea came from, this should be done for every election.

But you're a Democrat, so you wouldn't understand anything about integrity.

Until Trump wrote letters telling Republican governors and legislators to implement Trump's ideas, nothing was changing. But suddenly, everything had to change, which means those Republicans have no integrity.
