This is the mayor of Kansas City. He was turned away at the polls this morning because he supposedly wasn't on the rolls. He's lived at that address for a decade and he's the gd mayor of KC!

I almost think this needs cross posted, just to remind everyone that it can happen to anyone.

If the mayor gets turned away there's a huge problem.

4. Let's run this according to Trumpworld:

Black--check

Democrat--check

"Nope, we can't let you vote today, sir."

Expect this in ALL the red states.

5. It can happen to anyone.

As a disgusted white female Dem, I’ll bet it’s lots less likely to happen to me. These fascist assholes who vote for laws to suppress the voices of voters need to go far away.

8. They care. Voter suppression is targeted towards young urban nonwhites

in red states. They deliberately scrub the voter rolls regardless of how long you've lived at your address or how many years you've voted. They don't want Dems voting. They'll throw in a few urban whites too to prove they're not racist but it's by geography. They want rural votes not urban.

14. And that's what they do now. They CHEAT.

Because they know they can’t win fair ‘n’ square.

They can only win by CHEATING.

If they hope to win, they’ll CHEAT.

And nowadays, with the demographics expanding against them, they still “win” because they CHEAT.

They keep “winning” because they keep CHEATING.

They have to CHEAT to win.

11. After my divorce my ex-wife changed her name back to her maiden name.

She got a new drivers license and voter registration to reflect her current name. She voted that way for Obama in 2008, but just before the next election she received her voter registration card and thought to look it over since Texas had just changed the voter ID rules and discovered that they had changed her last name back to mine which would have prevented her from voting since it would not match her drivers license.

There is no way the computer on it's own decided to change her voter registration, it had to be intentional. They are willing to do just about anything to stay in power. Please remind your friends, family and co-workers to check their voting status etc., well before the election so you would have time to fix anything that may prevent you from casting your vote.

12. Good Grief!

When the mayor of his own city cannot vote, we've got a huge problem.

Sadly, we already knew this. The huge problem, that is.

13. Someone's signature approved this.

Someone's signature approved this.

Find out who it was.

15. That shouldn't be happening

16. Can't wait to hear the explanation.

17. They reversed his name.

Instead of Quinten Lucas it said his first name was Lucas and last was Quinten. I'm not sure how, considering he's been there for over a decade.
