I shall not be voting in this election. It is not a choice I made, however, but because I have been disenfranchised. My existence is apparently fraudulent, but in what way they cannot say. It’s not that they can believe I’m a bot or not-human because I get energy assistance and food stamps. I have a state issued ID with my address and all of these have been verified; but my voting registration keeps getting flagged and scrubbed and my calls to the Washoe county election board and to the Nevada Secretary of state can’t tell me why i have been scrubbed from the voting roles; only that there are various reasons that it might have happened.
old post. but I did get reinstated as there was a lawsuit, 40,000 Washoe Co. voters had been disenfranchised, and voted the day after I demanded reinstatement.
I am so glad you wrote about your struggles and I am glad that people were fighting. as well as the fact that they won. I did look it up and saw the lawsuit over on Democracy Dockett
simple. Trump legal maneuvers and continually reinforcing frivolous readjudications and an election panel of three of five election deniers. I suspect , however it should be settled before the election.
but even if I become enfranchised, I still do not intend on voting for a presidential candidate of either major party. as you pointed out in your podcast post, the problem is not the Jill Stein’s taking votes from the democrats but the democrats and republicans trying to fix elections and tell people that they have no choice but themselves. You may be upset they tell that to black me but I’m upset they tell that to white men when the lack of alternatives they try to prevent create the divisions that can lead nowhere but to ultimate disassociations between all people in this society and its ultimate collapse as you often predicate.
The only way to avoid that is to defeat democrats and republicans; defeat abusive cops when they abuse; defeat horrid judicial decisions by disobedience and people taking upon themselves a little bit of courage to fight injustice whenever it occurs and realize it exists only because we allow it to exist.
These friggen shenanigan's are abhorrent. I am sorry this happened to you Ken it is so dam disgusting.

This is astounding but, sadly, not surprising. Further, I am morbidly curious as to why the court has failed to adjudicate the decision.

Bravo!
Perhaps because the people who filed the challenges are trying to keep it tied up in court? I just saw this: https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/right-wing-group-files-multiple-voter-challenge-lawsuits-in-nevada-counties/
Judging by their 2022 990 (https://pdf.guidestar.org/PDF_Images/2022/943/178/2022-943178977-202313109349301686-9.pdf) Citizen Outreach Foundation is a 501(c)3 (?!) consisting of at least 3 Nevada residents. Curiously, the phone number in their 990 has a Washington DC area code. [later edit: yeah, it seems to be coordinated at the national level: https://www.alternet.org/gop-voter-purge/ ]
that is true.
How disgusting, Ken. It sounds to me like someone programmed the system to purge all persons receiving public assistance.
