'You will lose': Trump immediately drowned in legal threats over new voting order

"This is a massive and unconstitutional #VoterSuppression effort aimed at giving #Trump the power to create a list of who is allowed to #vote by mail,"  wrote #VotingRights attorney #MarcElias. "We know where this will go -- the targeting of #Democrats for mass #disenfranchisement. We will sue and we will win."

'You will lose': Trump immediately drowned in legal threats over new voting order

President Donald Trump, stymied in all efforts to pass a voting restrictions bill through the Senate, announced an executive order on Tuesday attempting to crack down on mail-in voting by executive fiat.

Lede: From fringe ideas to now part of the provincial agenda

So, how's that centrist, incremental opposition comin' along? Oh, my ideas are "too radical" and my preferences are easily discarded? Okay then, business as usual. I'll just see myself out. #disenfranchisement

25 years later, how the ‘Alberta firewall’ letter reflects today’s political landscape | CBC News

When six prominent Albertans penned an open letter to then-premier Ralph Klein in 2001, many viewed the suggestions it called for as extreme. But a quarter century later, as Albertans ready for a potential referendum vote on their future in the country, the letter has a renewed relevance.

Claim by Senator Duckworth: “9% of American citizens don’t have the identification that the SAVE act requires to vote. Almost 1 in 10.”

PolitiFact rating: Mostly True
A 2023 national survey found about 9% of U.S. adult citizens either lack or cannot readily access documentary proof of citizenship, and a similar share lack a nonexpired driver’s license. However, the figure includes people who may have documents but cannot easily access them, and the survey was not limited specifically to registered voters.

> Democrats opposing the SAVE America Act, which would require certain documents to register to vote and cast a ballot, point to a study showing 9% of adult U.S. citizens would have difficulty with those requirements.

"Celina Stewart, the CEO of the League of #Women #Voters, said the bill would disproportionately affect the approximately eight in 10 married women who change their name. “We just haven’t seen anything on the scale where nearly 70 million women, in one fell swoop, could be challenged and have real barriers to being able to access the #ballot,” she said."

A Serious Senate Debate About an Unserious Bill

The most pressing question about the SAVE America Act is not whether it’s going to pass, but why President Trump and his allies are so determined to see the Senate put up a bill that’s doomed to fail.

"...the SAVE Act seems designed to make it harder to vote—particularly for lower-income Americans and married women who change their names—rather than to tackle voter fraud, which is practically nonexistent anyway." #SaveAct #voting #USgovernment #USpolitics #trump #maga #authoritarianism #VoterSuppression #disenfranchisement

Wer gegen die hegemonialen Interessen der #USA,

sprich denjenigen des US- #Dollars als #Weltwährung und seiner gesellschaftlich-wirtschaftlich weltumspannenden Absicherungsmechanismen, wie dem unantastbaren internationalen Digital- und Medienmonopol und seiner Diskurse, einer direkten oder stellvertretenden militärischen Dominanz, der Beherrschung der Energie- und Rohstoffmärkte, (inkl. der organisierten Kriminalität und des Terrorismus),

ernsthaft, d.h. mit spürbaren Konsequenzen für die angloamerikanischen Drahtzieher, sachkundig Einwände ins Feld führt, oder gar zu juristischen und exekutiven Mitteln greift, der muss auf vergleichbare schikanöse Methoden gefasst sein, wie hier im vorliegenden Falle angesichts einer erschreckend zur Schau gestellten Skrupellosigkeit unter Einbezug aller privaten und beruflichen Belange gegenüber der peruanischen IStGH-Richterin Luz del Carmen Ibáñez zu berichten ist. Der Fall lässt sich auch auf jemanden mit dem untrüglichen militärischen und geopolitischen Sachverstand eines Jacques Baud erweitern, dem auf Grund seiner analytischen Expertise, u.a. im #Ukraine -Krieg, ein vergleichbares Schicksal zuteil wurde.
