See my edit.

Homeless people can’t same-day register because they don’t have proof of residence. As for paying poor people to vote, why is that more likely to happen on election day rather than two weeks before?

Less time for it to be discovered before the damage has been done.

A “parents bill of rights”? What in the hell does that even mean? Good lord. Wait until people find out about the PTA.

It means the “professionals” have lost credibility and are going to be held responsible.

Liberal Nobel prize economist Paul Krugman says we need to face up to the facts on immigration:

“If people like me are going to respond effectively to anti-immigrant demagogues, we have to acknowledge those facts.

First, the net benefits to the U.S. economy from immigration, aside from the large gains to the immigrants themselves, are small. Realistic estimates suggest that immigration since 1980 has raised the total income of native-born Americans by no more than a fraction of 1 percent.

Second, while immigration may have raised overall income slightly, many of the worst-off native-born Americans are hurt by immigration — especially immigration from Mexico. Because Mexican immigrants have much less education … they increase the supply of less-skilled labor, driving down the wages of the worst-paid Americans. The most authoritative recent study … by George Borjas and Lawrence Katz of Harvard, estimates that U.S. high school dropouts would earn as much as 8 percent more if it weren’t for Mexican immigration.

That’s why it’s intellectually dishonest to say, as President Bush does, that immigrants do “jobs that Americans will not do.” The willingness of Americans to do a job depends on how much that job pays — and the reason some jobs pay too little to attract native-born Americans is competition from poorly paid immigrants. Finally, … our social safety net has more holes in it than it should — and low-skill immigrants threaten to unravel that safety net. … Unfortunately, low-skill immigrants don’t pay enough taxes to cover the cost of the benefits they receive.”

Now if you read his and other liberal economists they are singing a different tune about the same problems with immigration now we all of a sudden need more and it’s not so bad.

Find the people who knowingly hire illegal immigrants. Throw them in jail and seize their property

The problem will get solved real quick.

But they haven’t lost credibility. That’s an unfounded narrative based on cherry picked examples that are then amplified by the media and politicians.

If I post a voter fraud conviction in 2018 would you quit laughing?

Are you an absolutist for anything other than voter fraud? Obviously there are isolated cases. There were two that I know of in 2020 where they voted Trump. So what? I’m not going to extrapolate two cases into any conspiracy or widespread fraud that could effect an election.

But if you want to do so l, by all means go ahead. It just makes you look foolish.

Nobody can offer a compelling reason or need for voting…vague…early.

Or a compelling reason not to offer early voting.

It’s not “early voting”. It’s just “voting” for 6 weeks.

How about we find the illegals and seize theirs instead?

Does it happen? Do people pay poor people to vote and does it happen more often in states with same-day registration?

Oh yes they have.

They haven’t. And you know that. It’s a narrative created by politicians to win elections. They don’t give one ■■■■ about the education of our children and whether or not they read a Toni Morrison book. The people who do care are the local school boards, teachers, and administrators.

Thoughts on this take?

In the final weeks of his campaign, Youngkin focused almost exclusively on attacking lesson plans about inequality. He hosted multiple “Parents Matter” rallies, where attendees could gather to express outrage over school curricula. And last week, his campaign released an ad featuring a white mother who fought to have “Beloved,” Toni Morrison’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about slavery, banned from her son’s school district.

The Youngkin campaign discovered that this contingent of angry, willfully ignorant white people was the key ingredient needed to elect a GOP governor in Virginia for the first time since 2009. We can expect more Republicans to try the same gambit as we inch closer to next year’s consequential midterm elections.

Glenn Youngkin’s Virginia election 2021 victory says a lot about white ignorance

Pathetic race baiting sour grapes piece.
