Texas doesn’t have registered Democrats because you don’t specify a party affiliation when you register to vote in Texas.
I’m not going to spot check the rest of the items, but this list is at least partially B.S. so the whole thing is suspect.
Yes, the Republicans cheat and voter suppression is the only thing that keeps them in power, but spreading misinformation about that voter suppression makes it harder to fight, not easier.
How does "affiliating while registering" not equate to "registering as?"
Texas did in fact purge voter rolls in the lead up to the election, though it was months, not days, prior, and I haven't seen evidence of it being predominantly aimed at Democrats. However, the state does know what primary you voted in and can use that to formulate a "potential Democrat" list.
That was a mistake in my original post. I meant to say that you DON’T specify a political affiliation when you register.
Thanks for catching that, I edited the original post to fix it.
they know which counties leans democrats, thats how they target thier voter suppression methods there.
Considering that a few posts down from this one is this about Oklahoma changing education standards to push the 2020 election Big Lie, I'm starting to think having integrity is a losing strategy no matter how much we wish it were otherwise.
Pretty sure voter apathy is a bigger problem. Of course the former is a big one but you can't explain away 90 million not voting as simply voter suppression.
voter apathy(the ones that cant be bothered to vote or dint vote because they dont think its important) and LOW-Information voters.
