A here you have the President of the United States imploring people to do felony grade activities to screw up the election less the 3 weeks away…
The ‘law and order’ guy?
President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Tuesday to urge the California Republican Party to “fight on” in its move to collect ballots in unofficial “drop boxes’’ around the state, in defiance of legal threats from state officials.
Trump’s comments come a day after top California officials sent the state party a cease-and-desist notice, ordering them to remove the unofficial ballot drop boxes. The appearance of the boxes prompted Gov. Gavin Newsom to accuse California Republicans of being “willing to lie, cheat and threaten our democracy all for the sake of gaining power.”
…
Republicans on Monday said relying on unofficial ballot boxes was no different than the “ballot harvesting” that Democrats organized with great success during the 2018 midterm elections. Under California law, third-party collection of ballots is legal as long as a voter formally authorizes another person to return their ballot for them. Democratic volunteers in the last election collected ballots from voters who indicated they wanted help submitting them….

Note…
Once a sealed ballot is dropped in an illegal box how would a voter ok them to be formally collected?
Meanwhile the SCOTUS appointee Republicans are ramming through the Senate won’t answer if a President can unilaterally suspend or delay an election.
Every Republican that votes for her is anti-American. As is Amy Coney Barrett. I don’t give a shit how many damn kids she has!
A gangster egging on other gangsters.
The Republican Party circa 2020.
Again?
“Law and Order?”
Time was when the Grand Old Party overcame Democratic opposition to pass the 15th Amendment 150 years ago in 1870 (guaranteeing citizens the right to vote regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude) and the 19th 100 years ago in 1920 (guaranteeing citizens the right to vote regardless of sex).
The Democratic campaign of 1868 (2 years before the 15th Amendment’s ratification) declared “This is a White Man’s Country ! Let White Men Rule !”, while the GOP platform (supporting U.S. Grant’s candidacy) declared,
The National Union Republican Party of the United States, assembled in National Convention, in the city of Chicago, on the 20th day of May, 1868, make the following declaration of principles:
First—We congratulate the country on the assured success of the reconstruction policy of Congress, as evinced by the adoption, in the majority of the States lately in rebellion, of constitutions securing equal civil and political rights to all, and regard it as the duty of the Government to sustain those constitutions, and to prevent the people of such States from being remitted to a state of anarchy or military rule.
Second—The guaranty by Congress of equal suffrage to all loyal men at the South was demanded by every consideration of public safety, of gratitude, and of justice, and must be maintained; while the question of suffrage in all the loyal States properly belongs to the people of those States….
Eleventh—Foreign immigration, which in the past, has added so much to the wealth, development of resources, and increase of power to this nation—the asylum of the oppressed of all nations—should be fostered and encouraged by a liberal and just policy.
Twelfth—This Convention declares its sympathy with all the oppressed people which are struggling for their rights.
CG, as a Chicagoland Republican, would no doubt heartily approve.
A century ago, eh?
I think despite all the voter suppression activities including those activities in California, are going to have little to no effect on the outcome of this election…it may actually have more impact on the congress races than the presidential race, cause I really don’t see how this guy pulls 2016 all over again…
Me neither….
