Ocasio-Cortez Misleads on Voter ID Laws and Election Rigging

Kagan said the upshot of the decision is that states “can, without legal consequence, systematically dilute minority citizens’ voting power.” · Reaction to the decision broke along partisan lines. “This is a complete and total victory for American voters. The color of one’s skin should not dictate which congressional district you belong in. We commend the court for putting an end to the unconstitutional abuse of the Voting Rights Act and protecting civil rights,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson wrote in an email.

Trump and his allies have also pressed false claims that voting machines were rigged against him in the 2020 election. Courts and election law-scholars have said these claims are unsupported by evidence.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune, a ​Republican, did not mention the SAVE America Act in his opening address after Congress reconvened on Monday. At a signing ceremony in March for an executive order to tighten ⁠mail-in voting rules, Trump called U.S. voter fraud “massive." Trump’s executive order has been challenged in court and is unlikely to take effect in the near future. Although most new state-level proof-of-citizenship and photo ID requirements are not as ​severe as those Trump has pushed, they “still have really serious impacts on voters,” said Danielle Lang, vice president for voting rights and the rule of law at the Campaign Legal Center.

A prominent election-denier, attorney and former Navy SEAL, Kurt Olsen aimed to prove the discredited conspiracy theory that Dominion Voting Systems machines had been infected with malicious code controlled by Venezuela.

“With this shameful ruling, the Supreme Court is once again complicit in Republicans’ assault on our democracy and Black political power. This decision will disenfranchise millions of people, further weaken the Voting Rights Act, and embolden racial discrimination in our elections,” said Congresswoman Pressley.

Republicans have also passed the SAVE Act in the House which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote in the name of preventing mass non-citizen voting, a conspiracy theory easily disproved by the fact that in a decade of fearmongering no mass voter fraud has been prosecuted either by Trump or by any Republican state attorney general. (Well, except for this Republican who voted illegally nine times and these other Republicans convicted of election fraud.) What the bill would do is make registering to vote harder for anyone who doesn’t already have a passport or whose name doesn’t match their birth certificate, like most married women.

Mehrere Bürgerrechtsorganisation haben wegen Wahlmanipulation Klage gegen den republikanischen Bewerber um den Gouverneursposten in Georgia eingereicht. Begründet werden Wahlrechtsverschärfungen stets mit der Warnung vor Wahlbetrug.

Wahlen sollten von Wählern entschieden werden und nicht von Politikern, die Wahlkreise zu ihrem Vorteil manipulieren. Das klingt nach einer Selbstverständlichkeit, aber in den USA der Gegenwart ist es ein frommer Wunsch.

"Sie versuchen, die Wahl von den Republikanern zu stehlen." Eine Manipulation sei die "einzige Möglichkeit, wie sie uns diese Wahl wegnehmen können", behauptet Trump. Der Präsident liefert allerdings keine Indizien oder Belege, wie die Demokraten ...

INFO LE FIGARO Le président des Républicains dénonce un recul du gouvernement face à la gauche et demande directement à Yaël-Braun Pivet et à Gérard Larcher de réagir en s’appuyant sur une solution constitutionnelle. TRIBUNE - En 2027, la droite française doit éviter l’erreur de 2022 : laisser la désignation de son candidat se réduire à une guerre de sondages, estime le politologue.

Les citoyens qui se déclarent alors « Indépendants » choisissent uniquement de ne pas se déclarer officiellement comme « Démocrate » ou « Républicain » sans que cela ne permette nécessairement de préjuger de leur positionnement idéologique. De fait, lorsque les politologues partent à la recherche des « Indépendants véritables » (pure independents), ils font référence aux personnes susceptibles de voter pour l’un ou l’autre parti en fonction de l’élection, ceux que l’on a parfois tendance à appeler les « électeurs pivots » (swing voters).
