Well…after Georgia passed a voter suppression law aimed at keeping dem voters from being able to vote that included making it a crime to give food and water to people standing in line to vote, there have been various lawsuits from voter protection organizations, but today, the big guns came out when the DOJ also filed suit against Georgia to get the law nullified. This law and over 250 others passed by repubs across the country are blatantly aimed at dems and the groups that normally support them and are based on the “big lie” of voter fraud that the idiot and his minions continue to spout and have no basis in fact at all…as evidenced by the report put out by the repub controlled Michigan senate that blew holes in the lies that are driving fake “recounts” in Arizona and stated bluntly that there was no fraud at all in Michigan and that people need to stop believing the lies that trump is spewing. It is about time that the DOJ got started going after these bigoted laws and start protecting the sacred right to vote…and now they need to go after every damn one of the over 250 laws that these cheaters have passed…and right now…

Protecting voting rights here in Michigan…
Well…the cancer of repub voter suppression that has infected this country from coast to coast is one of the most important problems facing us in my lifetime at least…and while we have passed anti gerrymandering constitutional amendments, with repubs still in control of the congress here, they are still trying to rig the system by making it harder to vote…and a thought came to me on the bike today how to fix that…in Michigan, you can get referendum on the ballot if you get enough voter signatures…so, why can’t we do that for a constitutional amendment that would force any change in voting laws to be voted on by the people and not just the legislature? This would keep the repubs from being able to cheat in any election and make fair representation the norm here….if you’ve lived in Michigan, you know how the repubs are spending most of their time trying to rig the next election and to make it easier for them to overturn the fair results if they don’t like the outcome as is happening in many other states, too…so, let’s get this done and stop this election meddling in it’s tracks…geez…
Got my absentee ballot application…
Well…forgot to talk about this one…but I got my first absentee ballot application for my first election here in Muskegon…and all I have to do is sign it and send it back and they will send me the ballot for the local election that is coming up….that is for now, the repubs here in Michigan are trying to make this easy, smooth process much harder in many different ways that include having to send a copy of your ID in with it…and who the hell has a copier anymore? I mean anyone who is retired and doesn’t need one…and that would mean going out to UPS or some other store and paying 1.50 for a copy…what about the people who don’t drive anymore? This is the kind of bullshit that the repubs are doing all across the country to still support the idiot trump’s big lie that mail in ballots are rife with fraud when there was absolutely none in Michigan with almost 7 million ballots cast….so, call your rep or senator and tell them to stop this crap of trying to make sure that people can’t vote…it’s the Russian playbook still in work….and the repubs are more than happy to support Putin over the US….geez…
