On Voting Republicans Out Of Office

How is cutting the days and hours for voting help eliminate alleged voting fraud?

The conservatives already have a ridiculously unfair advantage in government...and want to get an even greater unfair advantage.

You tell me.

Why is this so disgusting? Every state gets the same level of say in the Senate. How is this an advantage for the right?

It is called the Constitution ,Frank.

Move these figures into the Electoral College...and you see that the conservatives get a huge boost there also.

In any institution in which a majority of citizens or members can pass laws or rules that apply, not just to themselves, but to all members of the group, judgment is required to distinguish potential laws which are reasonable and fair from those which are tyrannical because they are unnecessary, unfair, and justifiably intolerable to the minority that opposed them. And formal mechanisms need to be in place, wherever feasible, to prevent tyrannical laws from being passed by those whose judgment in such matters might fail.

The founding fathers of the American republic were not unaware of this problem, and some of the provisions of the U.S. Constitution can be viewed as ways of addressing it even if that is not necessarily their expressed or realized intention. James Madison wrote in Federalist Paper 51: "It is of great importance in a republic not only to guard the society against the oppression of its rulers but to guard one part of the society against the injustice of the other part. If a majority be united by a common interest, the rights of the minority will be insecure." Many of the features of the Constitutional organization of the Federal government are meant to keep any branch or department from attaining domination of the others, but in fulfilling that function, they also serve as a safeguard against any popular majority, as represented then by the House of Representatives (and now by the Senate and the House of Representatives in partnership), from being able to oppress other citizens. Again Madison from the same work: "In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions."

The phrase "tyranny of the majority" (or "tyranny of the masses"), used in discussing systems of democracy and majority rule, involves the scenario in which decisions made by a majority place its interests above those of an individual or minority group, constituting active oppression comparable to that of tyrants and despots.[1] In many cases a disliked ethnic, religious or racial group is deliberately penalized by the majority element acting through the democratic process.[citation needed]

The final 4 digits are only 1000 numbers. (assuming they do use 0000) When you have 40,000 people with the same name you will have a minimum of 400 people with the same last four digits if you simply assign numbers in order to them.

When are you going to forego memes and address the facts, cj?

When are you going to run out of excuses for the obvious fraud?

You are the one with excuses.
