GOP Vows To Make South Rise Again With Voter Intimidation Scheme - Thom Hartmann



Republicans have come to genuinely believe that they cannot retain political power without resorting to morally criminal, nakedly unethical voter suppression tactics.

The Republican attorney general of Texas sent armed police officers after Hispanic voters — some in their 80s — to intimidate, threaten, and destroy them financially by forcing them to hire lawyers to defend themselves, even though they are perfectly legal voters.

It’s a manifestation of the new unofficial Republican slogan:

“If you can’t win on the issues, cheat. And if cheating doesn’t get you over the top, intimidate!”
