Texas woman sentenced to 5 years over voting error acquitted

Glad her conviction was overturned, but the harm desired by the GOP is still done.

The point of these prosecutions is the suppress the Black vote. The vast majority of the voting public will forgo voting if there is even the slightest possibility that they may be prosecuted, regardless of whether they will ultimately prevail.

See Florida (where 23% of Black voters are disenfranchised, 31% of Black men):"The lawsuit, filed by the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition and individual plaintiffs, described a "bureaucratic morass" encountered by felons trying to find out if they are eligible to vote. [...] "The defendants have created and encouraged a chaotic and broken system that is incapable of collecting and assessing the necessary information, particularly data related to LFOs (legal financial obligations), to determine the voting eligibility of people with prior felony convictions," lawyers for the plaintiffs wrote." news.wfsu.org

This lady should leave the state. She is now known to law enforcement statewide and will probably find herself harassed and charged under a bunch of laws from the 1860's, meant to keep her down...

"dwindling whites"

What do you say to such silliness?

The reason whites are "dwindling" is because they have only as many children as they can afford... which isn't many these days thanks in large part to themselves and their expectations.

It has nothing to do with people arriving from elsewhere... and if you think about it ... 7 out of 10 people on the planet are Asian... by 2035 its going to be 8 out of 10. Soooooooooooo by default people entering being white is very slim indeed.

Perhaps they need to get over themselves. The "dwindling" is just nature taking its course in the survival of the fittest. It's not a tragedy.

Oh boo hoo. And what the hell is an "illegals"? There at no illegal humans. All humans are legally human as far as I know.

And I hate to break it to you. Everyone is replaced eventually.

I have already been replaced.

When I retired ... someone replaced me. But not before I retired. Because I was so very good at what I did that I was never afraid of being replaced. Ever.

Are you afraid of being replaced? Be better than your competitors and you won't be so anxious about being replaced.

When I die someone will probably buy my house from my kids and replace everything I have in it (or my kids will).

A thousand years from now America will look very different and no one will probably even know I existed.

It does no good to whine about it.

I agree but in my case, it'll be 50 years.

Nah. You'll live on through your kids and grandkids and maybe even great grandchildren.

I'd give you 75-80 years.

Which, is still pretty good.
