Infamously, the Jim Crow south had many ways of keeping blacks from voting after the Civil War and prior to the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (which the racist John Roberts and his racist Supreme Court MAGA flunkies have largely ended). One of the notorious ways to turn away black voters was to point to a large jar of jelly beans and ask for an exact count. The guess was always wrong, sorry darkie, no voting for you today!
Well, Trump and MAGA are back at it again. Unnoticed by most of us, MAGA has passed a voting law that will end voting by mail. It used to be that if a mail-in ballot was received with a postmark earlier than the voting day it would be counted even if it arrived at the voting location after the voting day. That has been changed in the most devious and fascistic way. It used to be that the post office would postmark the mail-in ballot when it got to the post office. Now, I understand that there is a new procedure/law? that it will not be postmarked until it gets to the "processing center", wherever that is. Oops, who would have guessed, but in many places MAGA faithful will hold stacks of mail-in ballots at the processing center and not have them officially processed and postmarked until AFTER the voting Tuesday. Oh my, too bad for all those back folks, brown folks, red folks, yellow folks, women, etc.
No voting for you today...
