I keep reading and hearing about redistricting and changes in voter laws by the Republicans. They say it is to prevent fraud and better representation. My guess it is more to end democracy and establish a Republican dynasty. This is however just the way I see it.

(10,602 posts)The GOP is in a rush to completely rig the election system before they are outnumbered by minorities. They only want total power to do what they want and they have multiple billions of dollars behind them. I believe that in their view if they can rig everything by 2016 they are in the clear for years to come with a permanent filibuster proof majority in Congress. That is why they are trying to take over most of the state legislatures.
A longer term plan is a Constitutional convention to change our government entirely in their favor. They owe the religious right their theocracy as long as they have total say over the economy and governing.
A lot has been accomplished in taking over the judiciary that is more than willing to enable them. Just look at how well the courts are stacked. And if they can get control in 2014 they may even be able to have all 9 justices on the corporate payroll so to speak. Essentially they are working on a coup because the do not believe in democracy.
All you have to do is listen and watch them. Look at their deeds and recognize their lies.

(228 posts)Very good information. If you lessoned to the recent Rachel Maddow show it is amazing what the conservatives will do to control the vote. The sad part is so many people are too stupid to see the end result and how it will effect them.
