(12,319 posts)It is shameful that the Pennsylvania Republican Party has joined Donald Trump in his dangerous claims of widespread voter fraud in Pennsylvania," spokesman Jeff Sheridan told the Morning Call, accusing the GOP of trying to cause chaos and disruption."
This is a wretched move by the Republicans.

(25,111 posts)voter lies, et al. Everything the GOP blame and put upon their opposition is a mirror imagine of exactly what they are.
They have no shame, morals, and truly do not believe in "freedom nor democracy".

(15,286 posts)The state GOP tried to get this passed through the state legislature and failed. They also know that since the last year's election, the state supreme court now has 4 D and 3R and it tossed out the GOP's voter ID law. That's why they're trying federal court.
It's still hilarious to think that a bunch of white people from the "T" will be traveling to the big AfAm wards and precincts in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg or even York to "poll watch". It sounds like a good idea when surrounded by a bunch of riled up homogeneous white people, but once they think about doing it, the plan will fall apart like a wet napkin.

(15,286 posts)Basically it's the central PA counties, save Centre County (Penn State), and the northern tier of counties. Start with a straight line through the northern counties, draw a perpendicular line through Centre County, made the resulting "T" a block style and there you have it, more or less.

(17,600 posts)I could see their point, maybe, if the rule was ward or precinct. But, county?? There's (unfortunately) plenty of republicans in Philadelphia County. And every other county. Motivate and train your people to do the job, or shut the hell up.
