GOP Groups Sue California Over Expanded Mail-In Voting | MSNBC

    1. Donnie votes by mail and there is no fraud. A democrat votes by mail and suddenly their vote turns into millions of illegals voting. And his moronic base goes right! Voter suppression pure and simple.

    1. @Crimdor “You are actually the easy to read one.” end quote. Excellent english, bravo 😛

      But now you bore me again. You really are quite uninteresting.

    2. bob bobben – you going to be okay sweetheart?
      You butthurt because I’m more we’ll off than you?
      Where are you from pumpkin?

    3. @Crimdor I bet you used the term “my dad is stronger than yours” well into your teens. Pathetic argument for a pathetic little liar like you 😛
      Good luck with your “wealth” Lmfao

    1. @Marcia Wilso What is Obamagate? Where is the evidence?
      How are the Democrats suppressing evidence with trump, barr and a Republican majority in the senate????

    2. @Marcia Wilso “Mueller’s investigation didn’t find any information to back up the Democrats story”
      6 of Trump’s inner circle went to jail with dozen more indictments that are unsealed just waiting for Trump to leave office. Remember Individual 1??? Who do you think that is? B/c it ain’t Obama!

    3. @Marcia Wilso
      The democrats dont hold the senate.
      If the GOP wants an investigation, they can do it through the senate.

      But they dont.
      Even lindsy Graham said ” be carefull what you als for”

    4. @Sean Murphy why was Obama so unhinged by Flynn?? Why did he have a secret meeting about him??? And if Obama’s innocent why are the Democrats doing damage control??? So once again I smell a 🐀 rat. But keep listening to the experts on CNN and MSNBC there never wrong.

    5. @Marcia Wilso Unhinged. When did you see him become unhinged?? I think “concerned” is a better description of his mind-set.
      Why was he concerned? Because Flynn was apparently a security risk and he didn’t want to see that become an issue later.
      The secret meetings are about him trying to address the problem before it became public. It would have looked worse if he was publicly appearing to interfere with an incoming President’s choice of advisors. I am sure that there would be those on both sides who would see it as an attempt at sabotage. He did quietly warn trump that there was an issue.
      Obama was correct in both his action and inaction.
      Your point is absolutely mute since Flynn admitted to lying about his communications with the Russians.
      What experts do you listen to? The gossip shop pretend journalists at fox?

    1. What scares me is that 12% of all Bernie voters voted tRump in 2016. New poll says 15% of Bernie voters will vote tRump in 2020 because they hate Biden. My question is … WTF is wrong with those people? I don’t think they care. I think they just want to create chaos. And they have. They put tRump over the top in 2016. They met their goal.

    2. @B.B. – Ahhh … but you are wrong. We are a democratic republic. For instance, Republicans hang their hat on the electoral college because, since 1988, only 1 Republican has been elected President by popular vote. However … big however … the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact has been ratified in enough states to need only 74 more votes to pass the law that the electoral college is … DEAD. I’ve been following this initiative since over 110 votes were needed. Here’s the kicker. Many red states are passing this initiative. OK … good reading. You should check it out. It proves that we are a democracy and a republic at the same time. The candidate with the most votes will win, someday. The presidency is the only office in the nation that is not determined by a majority vote … aka … The Will Of The People.

    3. Yeah conservativism is founded in lingering monarchist/aristocratic understandings so they think some form of hierarchy is ‘natural’ and democracies and access to abortions/condoms/birth control/gun laws/regulation-in-general shouldn’t work, so they oppose them.

    4. @ra5928 Part of that was a sentiment whipped up by Russian operations, same with some people who voted for that third party candidate (i recall that woman was strangely in the same photo that had Mike Flynn next to Putin.)

  1. “Mr president, you say mail in voting is fraudulent.”
    “It is rampant with fraud! Total fraud!”
    “Speaking of fraud, whatever happened to t’rump university?”
    “Uhhh, errr…. **pulls fire alarm** ”
    “😏😉☔ “

    1. @Crimdor Would you rather me point out that millions of republican ballots are cast every year or that t’rump himself votes by mail 🤔😄😅

    2. How do we know mail-in voting is fake/fraud?
      Because tRump did it himself, and he seems to prefer breaking the law than keeping it.
      He said he was away from the state when the vote was held, but he has no problem flying home for a golf weekend.
      Does he really think people are that stupid? It’s insulting to everyone he thinks he is fooling.

  2. what is the motivation to sue to STOP VOTING????? give us a break we all know why. thieves, big, fat, unsubtle thieves.

  3. They have to SUE, it’s the only avenue they have left to disenfranchise voters. They know keeping people from voting is their only path to maintain power!

  4. Greed
    Over
    People
    Get some people on board with your policies and you wouldn’t have to be so terrified of elections.

  5. Republicans are not honest actors. See, they can’t steal the election if everybody votes with paper mail-in ballots. Paper ballots can easily be audited and recounted should questions or disputes occur.

    1. Please.. democrats support mail in voting because it benefits them and them only. Whatever it takes to get trump out, they don’t care how corrupt they are. Trump will win in 2020.

    2. @Ty Money “If more people voted, Republicans would never win an election in this country again.”
      – Donald Trump

    3. That one NC Republican tried to steal the election by hiring an admitted mail-in ballot thief.

    1. Alan Smith that would be awesome! Then at least we’d know the electorate was qualified to vote

    2. Mad Klown Obama gave the Ukraine blankets and pillows while he allowed the annexation of Crimea, Trump gave the Ukraine Javelin missiles to protect themselves from Russia… yet the dems say that Trump is a Russian asset?

    3. Mad Klown hot mic moment… Obama to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in person in 2012: “after my election I have more flexibility.”
      Medvedev replied that he would “transmit this information to Vladimir,” as in Putin, the current president who was prime minister at the time.

      The Crimean Peninsula was annexed by the Russian Federation between February and March 2014, and since then has been administered as two Russian federal subjects—the Republic of Crimea and the federal city of Sevastopol.

  6. When the GOP gerrymanders districts that’s called democracy and when people vote by mail it’s fraud!

  7. The Republican party knows that it has to lie cheat and steal in order to win elections today. And the reason why is because the Republican party hasn’t had any new ideas since trickle down economics, which was an abject failure and borderline criminal.

    1. Armastat exactly, they act Hilary didn’t have millions of illegal votes and it’s only when a republican wins that they want to restructure the whole voting system because trumps not apart of the “liberal” order.

    2. @Armastat When did any Democrat push trickle down theory? He described Republicans quite well.
