In this case I am not posting about the danger of the 06 January…..I am not saying that the insurrection was not a danger to our republic just that another assault could be much ore dangerous and hazardous to our beloved nation.
The assault that I am talking about is that assault on the voting rights of our citizenry…..
Attorney Marc Elias explains the dangers…..

The Dems need to stop trying a failed policy of bi-partisanship….they need to stop pussy footing around and step up and fight harder for the people’s right to vote without obstruction.
Instead they cling to the dinosaur of all policies in the Congress….that of bi-partisanship….that compromise on major issues is as dead as the do-do.
“It is worth remembering that it is illegal under state and federal law to change vote outcomes,” Rubin writes. “This is the basis for the ongoing investigation of the former president’s phone call with Georgia’s secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, in which the election’s loser pleaded with the Republican official to ‘find’ sufficient votes to change the state’s outcome…. In addition, federal law says that any person who ‘knowingly and willfully deprives, defrauds, or attempts to deprive or defraud the residents of a State of a fair and impartially conducted election process’ has committed a felony.”
Rubin continues, “It also makes it a crime for a ‘person acting under color of law’ to ‘willfully fail or refuse to tabulate, count, and report’ legal votes. In other words, simply putting control of elections in the hands of partisan Republicans does not mean they can flip election results at will. However, the potential to disrupt and discredit elections is great. And in the case of federal elections, some state legislatures might seek to certify their own slate of electors claiming the voters’ choice was invalidated by fraud.”

Voters need to arm themselves with factual information not the manure spread by morons on social media about election fraud….then get involved with the changing of the crap you must endure to vote.
You have the power…..but you must use it or lose it!
And lose it you will and if you look around you will see your right being subdued and eventually removed.
Is that what you want?
If so then sit on your ass watching crap on reality TV….but do not bitch if you are not involved.
(sound of crickets)
Turn The Page!
I Read, I Write, You Know
“lego ergo scribo”
So many people look, but do not see. When their vote has gone, only then will they complain.
Best wishes, Pete.

“Democratic attorney Marc Elias has been quite aggressive when it comes to filing lawsuits against Republican voter suppression efforts. But when Elias, the founder of Democracy Docket, appeared on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” on Thursday night, June 3, he warned that lawsuits alone are not going to be enough to defend voting rights in the United States.”
What a load of crap. The entire purpose of the Courts: compensations for damages suffered due to the criminal behavior of other Americans. Justice has zero to do with Republican or Democrat. Rachel Maddow and her brain dead show: it speaks to idiots. Marc Elias – an utter moron. So it makes perfect sense that he would speak on a Rachel Maddow “program”. The idiot speak nonsense like factories blow smoke from their chemneys.
The central issue, which neither of these fools addresses, the fundamental need to address the stagnation and corruption of the court system in the US today. The right to a fast and immediate trial, does not exist when a court battle can take 2 decades to resolve!!!!!! Hello wake up and smell the coffee.
You grasp of BS is astonishing…..comment on your courts and leave those here to us. chuq
