Except for
MSNBC, not one major cable news network cares about or is paying attention to the Republican Party’s Block the Vote Agenda aimed at denying low-income
families’, students', the elderly, and minorities' constitutional right to vote!
The topic of voting rights denial is not even addressed in 2016 presidential debates. How can a cable network sponsor a debate on voting issues without addressing who is being denied the right to vote on those issues ?!?!?
Every single 2016 Republican presidential candidate who held or is currently holding public office has
engaged in voter
suppression in some way,
form or fashion. (See 2016
Voting Record link below and spindetectives The GOP Primary Debate: What if?
post.)
Prior to and
since the election of President Obama, Republican
governors and Republican state legislators systematically passed legislation to deny voting rights. (See
Republicans are trying to Make Sure Minorities and Young People Don’t Vote,
Republicans use vote suppression as electoral strategy, Gerrymandering Rigged
the 2014 Elections for GOP, and Denial of Voting Rights links below.)
Here are a few of many examples:
- Creating Jim Crow Poll Tax Voter ID laws that prohibit
low income families, senior citizens and college students from having the
money or public/private transportation options to obtain a Voter ID
- Last
minute changes in polling locations
- Changing
polling hours
- Eliminating
early voting days
- Reducing
the number of polling places
- Drawing
election maps that pack a community’s minorities in only a handful of
polling districts with only a handful of voting machines.
- Making
it harder for non-English language speakers to vote
- Changing
election dates from the day of the official election
- False cancellations of
official election dates
- Rigging voting districts in favor of Republicans by making sure that Republican candidates have no electoral contenders!
Republican
congressional lawmakers(?) refuse to fix the evisceration of the Voting Rights Act by conservative Supreme Court justices. (See Supreme Court Eviscerates the Voting Rights
Act and Why the GOP Won’t Fix the Voting Rights Act links below.)
Cable news(???) outlets need to stop competing for who can best represent Trump's Personal Cable News Campaign Headquarters and start covering what elections are really all about - the constitutional right to vote!
WE can protect the constitutional right to vote!
Record voter turnout can overturn GOP voter suppression!
Start getting out the 2016 vote from now!
