Poll question: Do You Think I Should Preemptively Sue the RNC? |
|
I feel like I will be disenfranchised of my vote come November. I know the RNC is planning on disenfranchising a lot of African Americans come November. I live in Missouri and this state is critical to the GOP. I want to know if I should get the paper work drawn up now just in case they come with some bullshit on November 4th or should I just try to vote early through absentee ballot. I plan on being a poll worker November 4th to make sure the GOP is not trying to disenfranchise voters.
Whaddaya think? The Republicans like to preemptively strike countries and so on, so why can't I preemptively sue them for what I "believe" they will try to do?

1. dont sue, but start gathering torches and pitchforks |
|
there may come a time where we the people may have to take ACTION against those who rule us. Not saying that we should do so now, but there may come a time where we will need to do more than talk about petitions
(btw: in lieu of torches and pitchforks, guns and ammo might be more appropriate)

be a poll worker
I don't think you can sue proactively. Sadly you have to wait until you've been harmed. But if you really believe that you'll need to sue, retain the attorney in advance

4. I feel like they may try to start some mess. |
|
I contacted the board of elections and am set up to attend training, etc. So, I will probably vote absentee instead of trying to get through the lines at my precinct before it is my scheduled time to go to my location. But I don't want my absentee ballot targeted either. I've been reading all of these voter fraud threads on DU and now I am paranoid. I will file a friggin federal case on their asses if they even try to F around with my vote.

8. at least in my area, if you vote absentee |

if you go on election day, you can tell if they recorded you as voting in the election.

I didn't know that. Every time I vote, I have to just sign and initial in my spot. I guess it does make sense to have that notated on their to prevent people from voting twice.

if you registered for absentee and they haven't received a ballot, you can vote provisional.

10. McCain has stolen so many songs. |
|
I should preemptively sue them for a song I might write (if I ever get the feeling to do so) because lord knows they have no limits to what they feel like they can steal and they would steal it if I were to ever write one.

|
We won't even have to wait for the election..we can sue them for pain and misery, an irreparable harm.
