With the HUNDREDS of voter suppression laws going on all around the country and it is clear the voting rights bills in congress are a non starter so repubs win. End of the US as a democracy.

Choke on your pyrrhic victory all you repub traitors to democracy.

Do you really believe that laws which attempt to avoid election fraud are ending democracy?

The motivation behind these laws have nothing to do with election fraud; the aim is specifically voter suppression and making it harder for anyone who may vote Democratic to do so.

If Republicans were concerned about voter fraud they would've impeached Trump immediately after he was recorded threatening an election official if he doesn't overturn voting results. Instead, they still support Trump and he's their lead candidate for 2024.

Clearly, election fraud is not the motive for these laws.

@sonhouse

You need a driver's license.
You need a gun license.
A hunting license.
A fishing license.
A birth certificate.
Etc Etc Etc.

But having accurate voting identification is "the end of democracy" 🙄

Are you dumb on purpose?

TEXAS IS ABOUT TO PASS AN INSANE LAW LETTING PEOPLE CARRY GUNS WITHOUT BACKGROUND CHECKS, LICENSES, OR TRAINING

Conservatives don't care about any of that crap. They just want to make it harder for anyone not white to vote because nonwhites typically vote for Democrats.

Wait....I specifically recall back in 2016 when the Dems first said, thinking Hitlery would win in a landslide, that Trump's claims the election could be defrauded were a disgrace. Later, when Trump won, the same Dems claimed the Russians juiced the election! They even created a fake document to incriminate Trump with Russian collusion, and spent the entirety of his time in office with investigation after investigation based on their own fake documents!

Now, after a Dem candidate won the Presidency by getting 15 million more votes than any Dem pres ever, including Obama, without even campaigning!.And the Dems are claiming that the Repubs are suppressing the vote! ! !

I'm sorry, Viv, but, uh, you need help. With the new voting where millions of people don't even have to leave their homes, can be delivered pre-filled out ballots they only need to sign...strongly favoring the Democratic party...you have the gall to claim Republicans are suppressing the vote...

As a working person, I have to have a valid driver's license, pass drug tests, etc. But many people can now vote without proof of identification. Democracy has been dead for a long time. Don't blame the Republicans. Blame the communists. The DNC, baby. They got the power and America is Done. You should be happy!

About that gun law...
You do know Chicago has the toughest gun laws in America, right?
How's that working out for them?

As a gun owner, I'll give up my right to carry when America passes legislation that guarantees my family will be provided for very well in the event I am a victim of a violent crime.

You DO know that criminals don't pass background checks to obtain guns, right?

None of these laws are necessary. There was no widespread vote fraud. 50 state election commissioners, many of them Rep., certified the result as accurate and valid. Over 50 court cases alleging fraud were thrown out for lack of evidence. Trump’s own handmaiden, AG Barr, certified the result as correct. Trump’s own VP certified the result as correct. The federal cyber security dept certified the result as not tampered with.

Both parties are ridiculous. Biden won the last election. This should not be disputed. The Democrats are you are completely wrong when they believe that any idea to prevent election fraud is the end of democracy (as you said in your initial post). Election fraud is a real problem and methods that decrease its likelihood are actually essential if you want to have a legitimate voting system.

Saying there is no voting fraud ever because someone certified the result is self serving nonsense. Is there no police brutality if the Capitan certifies the result? Is there no tax fraud if the tax payer or his accountant say that it the return is valid?
It is important that we have systems in place to ensure that only eligible individuals get to vote and that only those individuals votes once. The incentive to cheat is huge -- as seen by the millions of dollars spent on influencing people. To say otherwise is actually comical.
