“That is really the slogan of the Roberts Court: making it easier to buy elections and harder to vote for them,” says Ari Berman on the recent Supreme Court decisions that undermine American democracy.

#MSNBC #SupremeCourt #VotingRights
Without fair voting. Democracy is finished. The people will make up their own rules then. Street law shall prevail.
Welcome to blue cities.
Antifa will end un up Antoothless
How dare we have secure fair elections! Waaaaaahhhh lol
@larreelarr If only the founders of antifa were still alive. JFK, Patton, Eisenhower, FDR.
May as well pass a law to not have 4th of July.
Time to mourn the death of American democracy.
Love the 4th of July..I love pulling my ID out when I vote.. I love pulling out my VA to get discounts at certain businesses… ID is a good thing
@Macgruber Democracy is what is wrong with America today. We need to get back to simply being a Constitutional Republic.
Voting is easy, even with in person voting with id requirements and having to register again because you haven’t voted in ten years.
@Censored User you seem to know nothing….
This issue with voter ID isn’t that democrats don’t want people to be identified at the voting booth. Republicans like to pretend that, that’s the issue, but it’s not. It’s that *if ID’s aren’t free, then those who can’t afford them are faced with a monetary barrier,* which is basically a *poll tax,* that is the problem.
Voter ID is fine and the solution would be simple, we need a free national ID card for every American as an alternate form of ID. States could already do this, they could have already solved the voter ID problem by distributing free identification to residents. This begs the question, why not do it? It’s because as it stands, *it gives politicians an avenue to stop low income people from voting, because they recognize they won’t benefit from their votes.* So the issue here isn’t Democrats abusing the system to vote illegally, it’s that *states are leveraging poverty to prevent certain factions of the electorate from voting at all.*
@Ken Rimmer- Buying a handgun is a Constitutional right also, but I still need proof of who I am, same with voting.
@Ken Rimmer are you saying that you should be able to vote however, whenever, unregulated? Couldn’t someone then vote more than once, by phone, mail, in person, etc.? You don’t see any issue with that?
@Hugh McBoo it didn’t happen in 2016 or in 2020 so what are you talking about?
No ethical framework. No longer a political party it’s a corporation,,,Senate has become the House of Lords. 👑
How the supreme court made elections more secure — and stealing them harder.
@RalphNaintEASY Why all this rage about election security when there were no cases of fraud? Why is it so important to put in all these provisions when no fraudulent ballots were cast? What problem are you trying to solve?
@RalphNaintEASY The ID’s currently used proved to be secure so what are you talking about??
@Steven Lukowski i thought you served to protect ALL AMERICANS, i guess you were just fighting for the authoritarian elites, no doubt you have doubled down on tucker swanson carlson’s propaganda distraction also.
I hope you enjoy an authoritarian dictatorship.
@Steven Lukowski we’re taking this country back from them lunatics! Trump 2024
@Scott Graham That Lukowski profile is one created by the proud boys or some other crap, look at the creation date. Also probably a case of stolen valor.
IS INDIVIDUAL 1 A COOPERATING WITNESS HELPING TO DRAIN THE SWAMP ?
Actually, quite the opposite
These are dark days for democracy.
Thank God we live in a Constitutional Republic.
EXPAND THE COURT NOW!!!
Never gonna happen..but what will is the complete disruption and destruction of your future as a coward commie in hiding in this country
my god america that was a very heavy straw put on the camels back and its going to break soon
Are you the one that’s going to break it
Sad, citizens united made corporations, “We The People” and money, “Free Speech”.
The only sensible comment down here. The most important issue we have.
Aren’t around 90% of corporate owners here in the United States democrat donors and supporters?.. seems odd somehow….
@Paul Koehn Corporations, generally, pay bribes, I mean donate to campaigns for both parties. They may favor one over the other, but no smart company shuts out the side they oppose totally. They are buying access to those legislators, nothing more.
@Paul Koehn Big money supports both parties guy.
@J C. mostly republicans
This ruling may be a foreshadowing of the democrats “For the People Act” being dead in the water before it’s even passed. This ruling shows that the supreme court, or 6/9th of it, respects the rights of the states to make their own elections laws and that the “For the People Act” may be found unconstitutional if challenged.
@Nobody_from Nowhere Georgia actually made voting easier. Not more difficult.
@Nobody_from Nowherethe Supreme Court will more than likely find the dems for the people act unconstitutional based on them regulating states election laws. Not any finance laws. They won’t let the federal government dictate hours, days or voting methods as well as the gerrymandering laws because they’ve indicated that these right sir with the state.
@ScottCleve33 I understand this, that is why I made it a separate thread. The state laws are just as corrupt as the Supreme Court’s ruling. This is why we only have pseudo democracy.
@Nobody_from Nowhere Democrats have no grounds in doing so ask Massachusetts Connecticut and Maryland to stop gerrymander first
@Nobody_from Nowhere no.
How dare we have secure, fair, elections! Boohoo commies
It’s about time Biden packed the SCOTUS to save Democracy in America..
America is a Constitutional Republic.
Nah its time we rounded you up for federal court
Acts 2:39
[39]For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call..
America’s highest court, McConnell judicial hitmen and woman.
Anyone else see the latest pictures of Biden with Hunter’s business partners?
lol. youtube should have issued several hunred misinformation bans on msnbsars already, and the selective attention to political interference as opposed to expression and communication is that same ole clinton crew cowardice corruption dishonesty and disgrace. more cheatin’ is how they figure their ‘win’ can be ‘respected.
