Wow, state government was smacked down under the 14th and 15th Amendment! I've been waiting for someone to cite the 15th amendment in these voting rights and gerrymandering cases.

Celebrating corruption?
At this rate, krazen would probably get everything sticky if Republicans held on by implementing a series of strategic "cheese pizza" deliveries.

For those too disgusted to do the research, that was a Pizzagate reference.

I don't think you know what that means pal.

Did you know that Texas Democrats used to draw seats in such a way that they got most of the seats consistently even as Texas Republicans got 55-60% of the 2 party state vote?

It was despicable back then and it is despicable today. I don't see what's so hard to understand.

You are such a funny guy! 10/10, pal.

In the real world, Texas Democrats used gerrymandering again and again and again until eventually the voters rose up and delivered such a massive thrashing that the white liberals were thrown out of power. Then in 2003 when it came time for retribution the losers of the 2002 election fled the state like rancid cowards.

The Texas Rangers were called haul in the infidels.

Rampant voter fraud then.

Saying Philadelphia's election system had collapsed under "a massive scheme" by Democrats to steal a State Senate election in November, a Federal judge today took the rare step of invalidating the vote and ordered the seat filled by the Republican candidate.


And rampant voter fraud now. Clearly they tried to steal the election.

The number listed in the article of ineligible voters who actually voted is very low.

Slim pickins for relevant bills across the country now, but this seemed worth posting due to the special election in WA that seems primed to flip the state Senate to Democrats, giving them a unified government. Even with slim majorities, it seems like this has a good chance of passing. It's also possible reforms are not limited to just AVR.

Maybe not as low as you think, pal. The Democrat party is up to Stinson tactics.

Four members of an election board were charged Monday with intimidating voters, casting bogus ballots, and falsely certifying the results in their polling place during a March 21 special election for the state House’s 197th District.

Those charged include Dolores Shaw, 61; Calvin Mattox, 52; Thurman George, 57; and Wallace Hill, 60. The four — all Democrats — manned the ballot machines at the Esperanza Health Center at Kensington and Allegheny Avenues in the 43rd Ward, one of the polling places where complaints about illegal electioneering were lodged.
