The 2024 United States Presidential Election Thread

[Bobby Barrows]

Nah I’m honestly happy. He just fucked over Trump. This was the best thing that could’ve happened.

I meant worse in the relative sense lol, I'm pretty pleased with the outcome myself, Trump managed to not just isolate and vilify a large portion of his voting base, he insulted an entire territory of the United States and the people whom are from there to the point where prominent Puerto Rican celebrities who were quiet before are now supporting Kamala.

Literally a week from election night, this might be the dagger to the heart of the Trump campaign.

I think we can safely say Trump has realized he's lost Pennsylvania.

Here is the current projection of the race, including battleground states.

Kamala's Major Paths to Victory:

- Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania
- Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona
- Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Arizona
- Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Nevada

Trump's Major Paths to Victory:

- Georgia and Pennsylvania
- Wisconsin, Michigan, and Arizona

Voters boxes being burned. Early voting sections being shit down at 145PM instead of 5PM. Bus loads of people bussed in and pushed to the front of the line to vote all in PA.

Fucking gross

Lol using outdated DMV records to take away the right to vote of citizens in the name of freedom, nothing more free than that. Probably one of the best Republican PR victories was convincing their base that if voter turnout isn't horrendously low, then it must be fake or illegal votes

 

[Sabretooth]

So they’re targeting specifically 1600 voters?

 

[Chris]

Seems they were trying a lot more but when it got ruled unconstitutional they tried to claim the 1600 self reported as non-citizens and that it should be upheld bc of them, but there's been no evidence that actually happened. The playbook is pretty evident, sow evidence and confusion so the results can be claimed as fake if they aren't what they want. Georgia trying to switch to hand counting last minute instead of following the proper protocols to make that change just to cause more ballot box chaos is another example

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Yeah it really is the fascist playbook, sow dissent, cause confusion, claim rigging from opposition, and take power for oneself.

Nadra Wilson of Lynchburg, Va., was concerned and confused when she received a letter in the mail from local election officials notifying her that her U.S. citizenship was in question.

The notice said she needed to affirm she was a U.S. citizen within 14 days or her voter registration would be canceled. It was first sent to an old address and then was forwarded. By the time Wilson received it in October, the deadline had passed.

But Wilson was puzzled by the letter. "I was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. — I'm a citizen," Wilson said in an interview with NPR before showing her American passport as proof.

Wilson, who works in health care, moved to Virginia nine years ago and first registered to vote there before the 2016 election.

Legitimate citizens, born in the country, registered to vote legally, not not able to vote in the election due to a last minute push to invalidate registrations.

"Well it's only 1600" "but what about the ballot stuffers" "I'm sure some of them are illegal"

These are the things that will be said to defend citizens being stripped of their right to vote and it will be allowed to happen with no protest. Freedom and liberty

Where have I seen this before?

Death to Fascism, Freedom to the People

A federal judge in Alabama earlier this month halted that state's program to inactivate the registrations of 3,251 people the state suspected could be noncitizens. The secretary of state's office has so far acknowledged at least 2,074 of those individuals were eligible voters, according to court filings. The judge — a Trump nominee — said in an Oct. 16 hearing that the state "has identified a handful, at least four, perhaps as many as ten, perhaps more, noncitizens who were somehow on Alabama's voter rolls."

Just lol I'll wait for the "but what about..." responses for this one too, I hope it's better than "but what about the at least 4 non citizens huh"

 

[Chris]

Strict ID laws, strict registration deadlines, lack of early voting options, all of that is nothing compared to this next step of literally removing the right to vote for thousands of citizens weeks before the election. It wasn't enough to make it hard for everyone to vote, we have to ban citizens from voting now. The American way as the founders intended
