Bill Maher to JD Vance: "Here's my deal breaker for your side. Okay. Under Trump, you guys have two outcomes in an election can be. Either we win, or they cheat it. That shit has to stop. "
BREAKING: HELL YES! A federal judge PERMANENTLY BARRS Trump from implementing the lion's share of his voter suppression executive order — scoring a massive win for our democracy.
This has MAGA scrambling in panic...
U.S. District Court Judge Denise Casper has ruled that the White House cannot force people to show documentary proof of citizenship when they register to vote.
As anyone who has taken even a cursory look at this issue understands, this was never really about making sure that only citizens vote. Study after study after study has found zero evidence for mass voters fraud. The only people who vote in this country are citizens.
Trump's order is about throwing up one more hurtle in front of the ballot box. Republicans want to turn away voters who can't easily obtain IDs or who forget their IDs at home. They're also working to shut down offices where people can obtain such IDs.
So the plan is: require IDS, then make it harder to get them.
They're doing this because Republicans know how radioactive their political platform has become. All they have to offer is inane culture war screeching while Americans are clamoring for solutions to the rising cost of living, unaffordable healthcare, and an end to pointless foreign wars.
The Executive Order would have also absurdly prevented mail-in ballots from being counted if they arrive after Election Day, regardless of their postmarked date.
Judge Casper stated that the Constitution gives states the power to regulate elections, not the federal government and it "does not grant the President any specific powers over elections."
“Generations of Americans fought tirelessly for the right to vote, and we honor their legacy by protecting that right against anyone who tries to undermine it,” said New York Attorney General Letitia, celebrating the fact that the judge stopped an “unconstitutional attempt to seize control of our elections."
This is a huge cause for celebration and an important reminder that Republicans would rather steal elections than actually win votes because their loyalty will always belong first and foremost to powerful corporations and the Epstein Class.
Please ❤️ and share to thank the judge!
