American Politics IV: 1400 Reasons Why(A Stimulus Serial)

Kentucky lawmakers pass key election reforms, including early voting. The bill passed 91-3 and now heads to the governor’s desk who will almost certainly sign it.

Establishing three days of in-person early voting on the Thursday, Friday and Saturday before Election Day;
Letting people "cure" their absentee ballots if a problem, such as a mismatched signature, would otherwise cause it to be thrown out;
Making the online portal through which Kentuckians requested — and government officials tracked — absentee ballots in 2020 a standard feature of future elections;
Letting counties offer vote centers where residents from any precinct can cast their ballot;
Allowing for secure drop-boxes where people can turn in their absentee ballots;
Requiring counties to gradually phase out electronic-only voting systems and switch to equipment that can process paper ballots;
Letting state officials quickly remove someone from the voter rolls if they're notified that person moved to and registered to vote in another state.
Beshear and Secretary of State Michael Adams made notable but temporary changes to Kentucky's elections last year because of the coronavirus pandemic. HB 574 will adopt some of those things, such as no-excuse early voting and the online portal for absentee ballots, for the long term.

Not bad, Kentucky
Not bad at all

This was Kentucky? Protecting voter rights? Even increasing voter access? Did they all get drunk and think they were doing the opposite? Or have I fallen into Bizarro World?

Has McConnell exploded yet?

The cynic in me suspects that Kentucky is so ruby-red that they don't fear much, but want to show a good face to be able to more easily oppose HR1 and support the vote suppression laws in states that are purplish.

That's actually good news!

[Greater Miami Shores]

Different Persons have a different view on what is or what not is a voter suppression bill. Most of us Republicans if not all hate the ACLU.

I'm of the opinion that lawsuits are not the correct response to blatant acts of fascism.

The Department of Justice is investigating Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) for trafficking, and a possible sexual relationship with a 17-yr-old girl. The investigation was opened under former AG Bill Barr and briefed to senior Trump DOJ officials.

Imagine trying to claim you're an American patriot and then openly admitting you hate a group that until very recently defended the civil rights of even the worst people in the country lol. There's arguably nothing more American than that.

I'm sure Trump would disapprove. 17 is too old for him.

Emphasis mine

Gaetz was the lone no vote on the Combating Human Trafficking in Commercial Vehicles Act, a bill combating human trafficking.[84]

*thinking*

lol, I used to work as a 7 Eleven cashier clerk, I was robbed at gun point by two guys wearing masks before the virus crisis. They tied my hands and took money $. But I was able to recognize them by body weight, structure and other features. Then another night I saw them coming back for more, I fired my gun into the air as safely as possible to scare them off, and it worked they ran and left and never came back. What a coincidence a guy representing the ACLU told me you can't do that, the Leftist ACLU guy was defending the crooks who tied me up and robbed me and my 7 Eleven Store. Yes I am a Proud right wing Republican Trump Supporter, Pro USA, USA, USA, American Patriot Citizen of the USA - GMS.

So the robbers... filed a complaint with the ACLU. And the ACLU responded, by sending a guy to the store to lecture you. Somehow I find this hard to believe.

And even if it did happen the ACLU guy was probably right, blindly firing a gun into the air in an urban area is both almost certainly illegal and very dangerous.

Lol, the ALCU doesn't do cases like this. Plus, it is a crime to fire a gun in the air in many urban locations. So, I’m going to say your story is pure balderdash.

No an ACLU guy just happened to be there when I fired my gun into the air.

Gaetz has a slightly different story

Over the past several weeks my family and I have been victims of an organized criminal extortion involving a former DOJ official seeking $25 million while threatening to smear my name.

We have been cooperating with federal authorities in this matter, and my father has even been wearing a wire at the FBI’s direction to catch these criminals. The planted leak to the FBI tonight was intended to thwart that investigation.

No part of the allegations against me are true, and the people pushing these lies are targetof the ongoing extortion investigation.

I demand the DOJ immediately release the tapes, made at their direction, which implicate their former colleague in crimes against me based on false allegations.

The fact that you felt the need to bring up the fact your a Trump supporter at the end of your story causes people to have doubts. The fact that you said “The ALCU guy just happened to be there” makes it almost certain that your story is pure baloney

I’m not going to comment on this story of yours itself, but I will give you some friendly advice; personal anecdotes mean nothing on the internet. Regardless of how high one’s integrity and reliability may be.

lol, The Washington Resistance Army was the one who questioned my Patriotic American claims on his original post, so I responded to it. Yes, the ACLU guy just happened to be there as I fired my gun into the air to scare off the crooks and it worked.
