this headline along w the picture they used may make this seem like a silly story but in reality this is voter fraud.
lemme go more into how these high government officials are abusing voting rights and how it can potentially affect the outcome of the 2018 midterm elections. and by outcome i mean the conservative republicans winning the midterm elections.
what jared did was back in 2009, barely into barack obama’s 1st term. so this particular story wouldn’t pertain to the outcome of next year’s midterm elections. however, I do think that it’s important we pay very close attention to how the government. is slowly restricting voting rights in today’s time.
-back in May the trump administration proposed the “Election Integrity Commission”. the irony about this plan is that it targets black and latino voters for possible “voter fraud”. when in reality, it’s trump supporting conservatives like jared kushner who is committing such acts. anyway, the plan ultimately gives the White House permission to view voter’ personal data. after this plan was established, many MINORITY non-trump supporting voters removed themselves from voting rolls as a whole. as someone who would be eligible to vote next year, this scares the hell out me. but this is just the beginning of it.
-jeff sessions is heavily advocating against voter rights. In August of 2017, the department of justice has suggested it would be perfectly legal for certain states to purge voters off rolls just because they “skipped” an election. this would prevent a lot of people from voting in further elections, specifically the midterm elections.
-Lousiana has already implemented a voting system that can allow majority-white electorates to reduce the value of black votes. Black residents in certain towns have claimed that have not been given the equal opportunity to vote for their judges.
-before a major election, there are usually mail-in ballots to ensure voters have an opportunity to vote despite not being able to make it to a voting location. however, the state of Ohio has refrained from sending out those early votes in prominently black residents during the midterm elections 2014 and in the 2016 presidential election.
-strict ID laws would require multiple forms of government ID to be shown in order to be eligible to vote. this can also potentially target black and latino voters for possible “voter fraud”. AKA another form of racially profiling. thousands of people in Wisconsin have already deferred from voting in 2016 because of this.
overall, most a lot of minority voters consist of democrats. conservative republicans along with some members of the trump administration are taking baby steps when it comes the restriction of voting rights. once again, pay very close attention to how voting rights continue to be restricted within the next year. I know fall of 2018 seems like a long time, but it’s gonna creep on us and be here before we know it. however this shouldn’t discourage anyone from voting. we cannot have anymore gross, racist, misogynist, homophobic conservative men taking over this country.
