#CLuxon, 2025

Ooh, the nice guy mask is slipping. CLuxon is rattled!

The NatACTs are running scared. Which is presumably why they've turned to blatant voter suppression, in a desperate attempt to avoid being turfed out in 2026.

Of course a corporation is behind voting machines. Should have known.🙄

I think that no matter where you live, no matter which state, paper ballots & hand counting should be required. Voting machines should be illegal. Ditto machines that count votes. If the U. S. cared more about fair elections than about greed, it'd be that way.

May Steve Simon reject this illegal request.

And yet again, USA:

Do not permit #VoterSuppression like this to continue in any form, anywhere in the country.

The DOJ is demanding Minnesota’s full voter roll and details on how it screens for noncitizens, despite at least two questions having no clear basis in federal law. The move raises serious concerns about federal overreach.

Today in Labor History July 8, 1876: White Democrats attacked African-American Republicans in the Hamburg massacre, in South Carolina. In an act of voter suppression prior to the 1876 United States presidential election, 100 white members of the Red Shirts, a racist rifle club, attacked black members of the National Guards, torturing and murdering six of them. In the months prior to the 1876 election, whites killed scores of black people in the South. When the election finally occurred, the democrat, Samuel J. Tilden, received 184 uncontested electoral votes, just under the 185 threshold need to win. The Republican, Rutherford B. Hayes, had only 165, with four states (Florida, Louisiana, Oregon, and South Carolina) returning disputed slates. Then, in a secret back-room deal, it is presumed that Thomas Scott, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, then the largest corporation in the world, orchestrated a compromise in which the Republican would get the presidency. What did the Democrats get in exchange for giving up the presidency, which they quite likely would have won? An end to Reconstruction, with the Republicans agreeing to remove the federal troops from the Southern states, which they had placed there to protect black residents and voters in the wake of the Civil War. This ushered in the era of Jim Crow, with intense suppression of African American voters, Civil Rights, and freedom. There is no written evidence to confirm that the Compromise of 1877 occurred. But if it did, it most likely occurred at the Wormley Hotel, one of the fanciest and most renowned hotels in Washington, D.C., owned by James Wormley, an African American man, and an activist for black Civil Rights.

J ames Carville Is Right to Panic — Because Trump’s Next Power Grab Doesn’t Need a Mob

Forget Jan 6th. Trump’s next move is smarter, and far more dangerous: use the courts, AI & right-wing militias to erase millions of Americans from the vote — legally. It’s not a theory. It’s a plan.

Arizona Republicans have revealed the latest target of their voter suppression tactics: certain U.S. citizens living abroad who, under state law, are allowed to vote in Arizona elections.

Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said his office will fight to defend these voters, “many of whom are the adult children of our military service members and American diplomats.”

Another interesting effect is that almost everyone on the #statepension will 😀 fill in a self-assessment form for tax since the triple locked pension will exceed the personal allowance.. The form includes their national insurance number. As it happens a national insurance number is now required when applying to vote by post - an application which lapses and would have to be renewed every three years. So fiscal drag will support postal voting and reduce #votersuppression !
