34. Wow, I guess all of the hub bub about purged voters
Tue Jan 28, 2025, 07:30 PM
Jan 28

has all been b.s.. Nothing to see here.
I'm curious what is the all important purpose of purging votes in typically red states if, as you state they're just people who've moved to another state. Where is the "proof" that they're double voting or somebody is impersonating them to vote in the state they moved from.
It is a strategy that works, that's why it's utilized. The only question is the numbers. But if only 1 voter is intentionally prevented from voting, we as Americans should be really pissed off and motivated to recognize, challenge and eliminate this strategy.
If you're sincerely a Democrat, your efforts would be better utilized working positively towards more of us voting instead of negatively attacking our own for no better reason than "I'm right and you're wrong". Ask yourself, what if. What if Palast is right? Even if half the numbers are correct. On the other hand, if it's not true and it's just to sell books, how does that affect you? Or us as Democrats.

So, you don't care that the election was stolen? Nt SnoopDog Jan 28 #8
It was wasn't stolen because of purged votes. Palast has been full of it for years. Silent Type Jan 28 #9
It's purged voters, not purge votes. SnoopDog Jan 28 #12
More accurately given he doesn't link to the data and my initial searches only turned up results that went back to him EdmondDantes_ Jan 28 #14
No he has actual data. You choose to not recognize it. SnoopDog Jan 28 #17
Right...data in the "Sidney Powell" sense of the term. tritsofme Jan 28 #22
Then why doesn't he point to the direct source? EdmondDantes_ Jan 28 #24
The data he presents in his article has no links to sources. Wiz Imp Jan 28 #56
Maybe you should read the article again... SnoopDog Jan 28 #59

Nobody needs to be convinced. It's a small-time conspiracy theory tritsofme Jan 28 #38
The packed and stolen Republican Supreme Court ruled that voters can be purged... SnoopDog Jan 28 #39
Why do you suppose actual credible people like Marc Elias are not leading the charge or embracing these theories? tritsofme Jan 28 #40
You should ask him... SnoopDog Jan 28 #41
I don't have to. I know he's not gullible enough to fall for dumb conspiracy theories pushed by hucksters. tritsofme Jan 28 #42
That's just it... it isn't a conspircy theory SnoopDog Jan 28 #45
And yet no one with any credibility has embraced the idea that the election was stolen. tritsofme Jan 28 #47
Palast is very credible... SnoopDog Jan 28 #48
Sure...at knowing his audience, and making a living off of them. tritsofme Jan 28 #50
Yeah he's real credible... Wiz Imp Jan 28 #75

Were they? Maybe provide some info on that... SnoopDog Jan 28 #57

Me too... SnoopDog Jan 28 #62
You still haven't answered why Democrats like Whitmer and Benson would be involved in illegal vote suppression MichMan Jan 28 #64

that's what i was saying - if they aren't told or hear about this on a liberal radio station chances are they don't kno orleans Jan 29 #108
Also worth noting, Illinois has same day registration so even if you were purged you could register that day questionseverything Jan 29 #92

How far did suits get? Just show me one person that was purged and showed up to vote. That should be simple. Silent Type Jan 29 #93
So you are saying president Biden had no reason to file lawsuits? questionseverything Jan 29 #95
I'm saying you can't produce evidence of one person showing up who was purged. If DOJ couldn't either, then Silent Type Jan 29 #96
The doj has proof, palast has proof, you are like an incorrect broken record questionseverything Jan 29 #97
Produce it. 3.7M purged votes is proof of nothing but voting rolls have a lot of dead, moved, tuned out people on rolls. Silent Type Jan 29 #98
