Voting Rights Roundup: Michigan GOP attempts to sabotage redistricting reform by withholding funding
Michigan: Michigan voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot initiative last year
to amend their state cons ution and create an independent redistricting commission,
but Republican legislators are doing everything they can to undermine the new law.
Republican legislators passed a budget out of a House subcommittee that
takes aim at the funding for not only the commission but also the offices of the attorney general and secretary of state.
Those two posts had long been in GOP hands but are now under attack following a Democratic sweep last year.
The Republican budget starts by
slashing the attorney general's administrative budget by 15% and
allowing legislators to usurp control over the commission's budget from the secretary of state's office.
... etc.
Good roundup, non-cancer-causing, of what's many states are doing about voting, good and bad

Texas Lege adjourns sine die, no special session.
Texas Secretary of State David Whitley saw the writing on the wall and resigned about 15 minutes before that.
So disgraced himself with his incompetent " voter watch list" that not even Texas Republicans could bring themselves to schedule a vote to confirm him.
Good riddance to smelly garbage.
Texas is still a smelly, toxic hole
CNN’s Jake Tapper busts Trump for supporting botched GOP effort to illegally purge Texas voters
Jake Tapper points out that Whitley had some high-level encouragement from President Donald Trump for his botched campaign to purge voters.
“58,000 non-citizens voted in Texas, with 95,000 non-citizens registered to vote,”
Trump wrote in a tweet this past January, just after Whitley made his announcement.
“These numbers are just the tip of the iceberg.
All over the country, especially in California, voter fraud is rampant.
Must be stopped.
Strong voter ID!”

If Trash wins in 2020, there won't be an election in 2024
It must be true, Chris read it on twitter.
Feel free to provide some evidence of your purple pixies.
You should give it to Chris Kolbach, maybe he won't get laughed out of court again..
If conservatives applied 1/100th of their climate science skepticism to claims of mass voter fraud, democracy would be in a much better place.
Truth is, they feel the ends justify the means. When conservatives are in power and can suppress the vote to maintain it, this is acceptable. Sad.
Or, like others have said ITT, the Republicans do it because it's smart. Minority rule doesn't happen as readlily without gerrymandering, voter suppression and the Electoral College.

Looks like Gov. Abbott pushed for the voter probe that scuttled SOS nominee David Whitley's confirmation.

Texas ditched its botched voter roll review but has signaled it hasn't closed its criminal inquiry
State officials continue to deny public access to the list of 100,000 voters selected for citizenship checks, citing a section of state law that allows them to withhold the information if it's part of a pending criminal review.
it appears that the state’s top prosecutor, who boasted his office would “spare no effort in assisting with these troubling cases,” has not. (... stopped his work)
Paxton's office has indicated it is keeping open the criminal investigation file it initiated based on the secretary of state’s referral.
“Our office has made ensuring the integrity of our elections a top priority and continue to do so,”

it's amazing to me how often you repost a story I posted -- in the very next post
When I voted early in the SA mayoral runoff, there was nobody around, and the elections lady really wanted to show how the next voting system works.
Totally surprised, I was shown that there is paper trace
you vote on one machine, with the electronic confirmation,
it spits out your ballot for another confirmation,
then you walk the paper to another machine and insert your verified ballot.
In the case of recount using the paper ballots, I assume the ballots are machine readable, so the TX bag Repugs will still have an opportunity to the paper ballot reader.
Florida GOP's poll tax could cost billions for voters who've served their felony sentences
DeSantis poised to sign a bill that effectively imposes a poll tax on voters who have completed their felony sentences,
a new analysis shows just how consequential that poll tax could be.between just October 2017 and September 2018,
courts statewide imposed in excess of $1 billion in fines and other financial penalties for felony convictions.
The GOP's bill requires citizens who have fully served their sentences to
pay off not only court-ordered res ution to crime victims but also all court-related fines and fees to regain their voting rights.
Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade Counties in Southeast Florida. ...
there is at least $1 billion more in outstanding payments, and even that data is incomplete (for instance, Miami-Dade's records only go back to the year 2000).
these figures show that the outstanding total in fines and fees is staggeringly high and may be insurmountable for a significant number of
voters.
Floridians voted nearly 2-to-1 in 2018 to end the lifetime ban on voting for people with felony convictions,
but the GOP's poll tax is poised
to keep potentially hundreds of thousands of citizens effectively disenfranchised for life
because they're too poor to pay predatory fees.

GOP working hard to suppress voting, even against a successful popular referendum seeking to expand it?
Sounds about right.
And how many fraudulent votes from them, Qhris?
lol no
It's an intrinsic flaw of journalistic coverage that someone else's absolutely made up ing bull , is newsworthy first of all because it was controversial/noticed the first time around, and second of all when it is cynically redirected, with heavy topspin, to the relevant political niches.
