A federal judge blocked the new ID rule in 2023, citing the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which forbids denying the franchise based on paperwork errors that are "not material" in determining voter eligibility. "It is self-evident that a voter's ID number is not material," the judge said. "A person's SSN4 does not change when he turns 18, registers to vote, moves into or out of the state of Texas, is convicted of a felony or judged mentally incompetent, or even dies."

Well, a person's signature also doesn't
change the day he turns 18 or becomes a felon.

By that logic, does it violate the Civil Rights Act to make voters sign their ballots? The Fifth Circuit panel rejects this logic.

This is the way, of course. Another specious argument by the race baiters shot down at the appellate level.

As a famous Texan actor once said, "Alright, alright, alright!"

Keep chipping away at the *******s.

Trump gets elected and it's like the world is righting itself after a long nightmare.

Republicans are right to contest every bad policy the Democrats foisted on this country and keep taking the ground back.

It's all part of the broader strategy;

Stop Dems from illegally mass importing the 3rd world to drown out the votes of American citizens.

Don't let them stay, don't let them vote, don't let them count for representation

They know they can't win on their policies. So they try to silence any criticism, import illegals and get them on the dole, at the taxpayer expense, grant them amnesty and make the country single party.

It worked for California. Now they can steal and **** on the street without consequences. Paradise.

The single biggest tell of election malfeasance is the resistance to simple proof of identity.

We have the power and we must learn to crush them the way they crush us.

The era of Conservatives being reserved in the use of power is over.

Crush the Dems.

Agree. If the shoe was on the other foot, they wouldn't hesitate to crush Republicans.

The fact that the Democratic party required an ID to enter into the Democratic National Convention where the Democrats argued that requiring ID was racist proves that either:

1) The Democrats are making an argument about Voter ID that they don't really believe in, and isn't a valid argument;
2) The Democratic party is racist; or
3) Both.

I think #3 is most likely.

It's number 3.

It is a combination of the most cynical among us plus a good number of people who do what Liberals always do...which is to treat minorities less like real and capable people with agency and more like a lot of childless couples treat beloved pets.

It's just history repeating itself. Except this time there will be be no compromise where we let Dems count their slaves for representation in any fraction.

This is interesting. Remember Raffensperger and Gabe Sterling's involvement in the botched 2020 election in Georgia?

Well, the state GOP has passed a resolution against Raffy running as a Republican again. And his bestie, Sterling, has resigned. Is that enforceable? IDK.

Quote:

Earlier in June, the Georgia GOP passed a resolution that would disallow the current Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger from running for elected office as a Republican. According to reporting from WABE, one of the reasons cited is that Raffensperger "does not have the faith and confidence of the Georgia Republican Party."

According to Carter Mitchell, a convention delegate from Bibb County, "This is over issues with the…Dominion voting machines, his role as the Secretary of State of Georgia," calling it "a very, relatively popular…resolution."

However, the resolution is likely ineffective, as the recently reelected party chair Josh McKoon said, "I don't really see a way for the Georgia Republican Party to decline someone the opportunity to qualify." Essentially, Raffensperger can still show up even if a majority doesn't want him there.

Speaking after the convention ended on Saturday, newly reelected party chair Josh McKoon said that while the resolution represents the sense of the convention delegates, the party must follow the law.
"And the law of the state of Georgia is pretty clear, with regards to qualifying. So if someone submits the appropriate paperwork, including the loyalty oath, unless there is a case to be made that the loyalty oath would involve false swearing, I don't really see a way for the Georgia Republican Party to decline someone the opportunity to qualify," McKoon said.

Raffensperger has not yet announced any future plans to run for public office.

Gabe Sterling, who famously warned President Donald Trump in 2020 to tone down his stolen election rhetoric, has left his position as chief operating officer of the Georgia Secretary of State's office.

According to Sterling's LinkedIn page, he has started a business called Sterling Innovative Solutions.
Sterling, a Republican, has served as COO for more than six years.
Both Sterling and his boss, current Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, gained national attention in the chaotic aftermath of Georgia's 2020 presidential election.
