Don’t look now, but Republicans have already begun to ramp up a new voter fraud scheme just in time for the upcoming elections.
Politics :
The 2022 midterms are a mere 6 months away while the next presidential election is more than 2 years away. Still, that hasn’t stopped the GOP from concocting a voter fraud scheme in key battleground states with the hopes of steering future elections in their favor.
In Ohio, Republican leaders have invented the idea that illegal immigrants have somehow gained access to the US ballot box and stolen democracy on behalf of Democrats.
Yes, according to The New York Times, Republicans are actually claiming that foreigners crossed the US border just to vote illegally in the 2020 presidential election for Joe Biden (and get rid of Donald Trump). Oh, and as if that wasn’t enough, the Ohio GOP is also claiming that Democrats are preparing to utilize this voter fraud scheme once again during the upcoming midterm election. The alleged plan is for foreigners to not just steal American jobs but also steal votes by casting fraudulent ballots for Democrats.
In Ohio, Republicans involved in a heated Senate primary are whipping up support by using Donald Trump’s fears of “open borders and horrible elections” to stir concerns that elections are fraudulent and can’t be trusted. The ploy has resulted in Republicans calling for stricter voter ID laws and proof of citizenship at the ballot box.
“I don’t want them coming into red states and turning them blue,” said Mark Checkeroski, a Republican who has bought into the GOP voter fraud scheme hook, line, and sinker.
Interestingly, other prominent Republicans have joined in the chorus.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is calling unproven claims of foreigners voting in US elections an “invasion.”
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey is claiming that if Joe Biden is allowed to continue “shipping” unauthorized migrants into the United States, Americans could soon be forced to learn Spanish.
“No way, José,” Ivey added.
However, Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida — who is widely expected to run for president in 2024 — takes home the prize for his role in the new GOP voter fraud scheme.
According to CBS News, Gov. DeSantis has signed a bill to create a brand new police force solely dedicated to pursuing voter fraud and other election crimes.
Or, in other words, his new election police will be on hand to intimidate voters on behalf of the GOP and look for trouble where there simply is none.
“I don’t think there’s any other place in the country that you should have more confidence that your vote counts than in the state of Florida,” DeSantis said during the bill signing event. The new DeSantis law will effectively negate existing election enforcement officials and cater to made-up GOP claims of fraud that have never existed or ever been proven.
Needless to say, sober minds are scratching their heads in dismay.
“DeSantis’ so-called election reform legislation is a continued attack by the Republican Party to generate public distrust in the integrity of our elections. The bill is unnecessary and a waste of taxpayer funds,” said Florida Democratic Rep. Tracie Davis.
“Even the governor has said that Florida’s 2020 election was secure. Yet this new election crime task force has been developed to solve a problem that does not exist,” Florida Democratic Rep. Yvonne Hayes Hinson said in a statement. “Its implementation will put up additional barriers to voting and targets communities of color. This bullying tactic will intimidate and immobilize workers, families, and everyday people.”
Republicans have recognized that the current election system, the voter map, and the number of voters in blue states versus red states work against them. So, they are looking for every way possible to cheat elections in their favor.
Or, in other words, they know they can’t win most elections the fair way. So, they’ve taken to concocting a voter fraud scheme to assure future GOP victories for years to come.
OK WASSUP! discusses Politics:
Republicans invent a new voter fraud scheme.
By now only the blind, deaf, Hateful, and dumb (intellectually disabled – whether diagnosed or not) don’t recognize how totally devoid of conscience and dangerous the Republican party has become.
If the majority of America voters refuse to face that threat head-on and collectively stand up and crush that party via the vote, then WE will deserve the catastrophic outcome of such a massive failure…..
….beginning with saying “Goodbye” to democracy!
