Greg asked attendees, nearly 100 this evening, to obtain their states' voter rolls so that he can ascertain how many were legally eliminated, if any, and how many not. Earth, gape.
"Purge by post card" is the name of the game. The cards are designed to be thrown out. 152,000 votes in Wisconsin [were/will be?] discarded.
Besides raped registration lists, what other elements are chief priorities? Votes not being counted (once they manage to bge cast) and the disaster called VBM (vote by mail).
2.5 million in the last election were shunted to voting provisionally: how many of these were arrested for voting illegally? None. Not a soul. Among these ballots, 1.534 million were counted and 935 thousand rejected.
Spoiled ballots numbered 1,913,369. Down the tubes. Caput.
According to the Civil Rights Commission, 900% more blacks than whites' ballots were rejected; 500% more Latinx; 1200% Native American [in NM, I believe].
All that, if you got to vote at all.
67% of black women were asked for their ID at the polls even in states where this is not required.
According to officials, T "won" Michigan by 10,700 votes. In Detroit alone, 87 optical scanners broke down and 75,000 black, brown, and blue votes were lost. "T won by uncounted votes."
In Wi, the situation is ridiculous: voter ID is required two weeks before E-Day [sorry if this is unclear]; students must have a special college ID, not the one they are issued [it has to do with date of expiration and piddly details like that, methinks]. Students must also copy the "right" ID and send in statements from their school that they are students in good standing (no courses flunked) and mail it all in [poll tax] to register [or they can do it in person?imagine the lines, EXCEPT that in this time of covid19 all offices relevant are closed]
Most lately 182,000 students were disenfranchised, including 50,000 African Americans.
Greg went to Milwaukee just before the lockdown and found out that the "mover list" was 74% wrong. He found Sequanna Taylor and asked her why she was removed. Had she moved? No, she was a county supervisor there.
Re vote by mail (VBM or die), according to the CalTech/MIT Voting Project, 22 % of all VBMs are never counted; ballots aren't received or aren't received in time to vote; in 2016, 16.7 million never received their VBM ballot. In the GA 2020 primary, voters waited in line in stormy weather because they'd never received VBM ballots in this age of covid, even though they'd applied as long as 45 days in advance.
AND those on the "inactive" list don't receive that illegible junk mail, even though the NVRA (1994) states in boldface that a voter can't be stricken from the rolls for not having voted in past elections for whatever reason. They are free NOT to vote. In 2016, 1,039,000 were taken off the rolls in Ohio. BTW, it's a poll tax to be required to pay for postage with VBM and what of the WI students' bulky applications? They require TWO stamps.
AL and MO require notarization of absentee ballots in these days where many notary offices are closed and in some places one notary can sign only 20 ballots, period. So imagine how many are needed. In AL, you can have two witnesses sign your ballot in lieu of a notary. Eight other states require witness signatures. What happened to the secret ballot? According to CalTech/MIT, 1/10 of VBM are rejected.
The Pew Charitable Trust has found that in FL the average wait time in lines is 4 hours if you're black and 4 seconds if you're white. In Dayton, OH, blacks waited 4 hours on Souls to the Polls Sunday; in Columbus the time was 7 hours; in Toledo there was no wait.
