I agree. I am going to assume you voted in the last elections.
Question: Did we, de facto, block blacks from voting, mostly in the South, by requiring some voters to answer a certain set of questions, before they're allowed to vote?
[quote]welll you are misconstruing facts to support your argument in a few ways. [/quote]
Well, let's see....
[quote]1. The question you posed was a current events question. Not a fundamental Civics questions[/quote]
Current events? You've got to be kidding me! It's more like US History 101. You fail again.
[quote] 2 the question you posed was misleading as there was court documented evidence of deliberate racial suppression by the GOP. It was not in the format You suggested in the question. If your need to falsify something to support your point of view. That shows the weakness of your argument.[/quote]
I have no idea what this means. I was pointing out to you, the slippery slope "voter qualification" questions, can be, based on our recent history, as recent as the 1960s, but of course your myopia is fogging your vision.
One other thing that seems to escape you, is how these "literacy" questions, were used by the AngloSaxons in the US, to restrict immigration from Catholic and Slavic countries.
But, I guess if it does not fit your narrative, then it's a weak argument, despite the fact that you're completely setting our history aside.
Y'know, the goddamndemocrats spend all day and night complaining how the election was rigged, yet any attempt to clean up the system is met by howls of protest. Wonder how come?
@sunsporter1649 Interesting. I didn't realize the Democrats were in total control in Florida. That must be quite a surprise to the Republican Governor.
@sunsporter1649 You certainly have plenty of your own lies to select from. In case you haven't noticed, it takes at least two states to have someone voting in multiple states. And when one of those is controlled by Republicans, you can't blame it on the Democrats. The fact (remember those? We used to have them before Trump) is that voter rolls are continually being purged to remove voters who no longer live at a particular address. Can we do a better job? Yes, and we should. But it doesn't result in a massive number of illegal votes, nor are the voter rolls maintained to encourage illegal multiple votes. There is no evidence of widespread fraud.
For the record, Jared Kushner was registered to vote in both New York and New Jersey during the 2016 election. Sean Spicer was registered in both Virginia and Rhode Island. And Steve Bannon, Steve Mnuchin, and Tiffany Trump were all registered in multiple states. Are you saying that they voted illegally multiple times?
I love alll the left swinging people clamoring about racial discrimination. When this test more then likely would have prevented many trump supporters from voting. I.e. the 3rd term comment met by cheers at trump rally
@St0ut As I believe I said elsewhere in this post, it sounds good in theory, but given our history of abuse of similar approaches, I don't see how it can work. I think you have to get back to education, and that becomes more problematic over time, since people can easily live in bubbles where they only have access to information that supports their preconceived notions (on both sides, by the way). That is having a disproportionate impact on the nation at the moment, with no sign of abating.
