He doesn&#8217;t want to appear to be more worried about \u201cwhite supremacists\u201d (domestic terrorists) then he is about \u201cBlack Lives Matter\u201d (<strong>not<\/strong> domestic terrorists).\u00a0\u00a0But his testimony seems clear:  he is.\u00a0 White Supremacists are more violent, and more importantly, they attempted  to disrupt the US Government\u2019s transition of power.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can\u2019t blame Wray for knowing how to \u201cdodge, dip, duck, dive and dodge\u201d. He became Director after Comey was fired, in the middle of the hurricane (Crossfire Hurricane more appropriately) over Trump.\u00a0\u00a0He used his political agility to keep his job, even in the last months of the Trump Administration, the time of \u201clong knives\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> We may worry about what happened on January 6<sup>th\u00a0<\/sup>\u00a0and what\u00a0\u00a0threats might be in the future.  But both sides of the aisle seem determined to continue to litigate Trump.\u00a0\u00a0That is because America reached no resolution for his actions in the 2020 election.\u00a0\u00a0Wish as we might that we could \u201cmove on\u201d, here&#8217;s our reality.  Trumpism is still driving a significant part of the electorate, and more immediately, politicians who need their votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Legal Insurrection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nationwide impact continues.\u00a0\u00a0Anti-democratic actions are happening in many states, now.\u00a0\u00a0And by democratic, I mean actions against our democracy, not against my Democratic Party.\u00a0\u00a0The founding principal of our democracy is our citizen\u2019s right to vote.\u00a0\u00a0 When the Founding Fathers wrote the original Constitution, the word \u201ccitizen\u201d only applied to twenty-one-year-old white men who owned property.  But all of them were \u201cenfranchised\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The history of the United States is to increase that franchise.\u00a0\u00a0The property requirement was dropped by the 1820\u2019s, and the race qualification was abolished with the 15<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Amendment.\u00a0\u00a0Senators were made subject to direct election with the 17<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Amendment.\u00a0\u00a0The gender qualification was removed by the 19<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Amendment.  The residents of the District of Columbia were partially enfranchised with the 23<sup>rd<\/sup>\u00a0Amendment.\u00a0\u00a0The 24<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Amendment abolished a tax on voting.  And finally, the age was lowered to eighteen by the 26<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Amendment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the ratification of the Constitution, we have increased the \u201cright\u201d and the \u201cpower\u201d of the vote.\u00a0\u00a0And for almost every advance in voting rights, there has been a subsequent attempt trying to claw that advance back.\u00a0But\u00a0the real driving force behind denying the right to vote, is the desire to keep people of color from participating.\u00a0\u00a0The creation of the Ku Klux Klan was first, a direct consequence of the passage of the 15<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0Amendment.  In took a century for the full legal enforcement of that amendment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And today it\u2019s happening again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Quiet Part Out Loud<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The right to vote is only as good as someone\u2019s ability to vote.\u00a0\u00a0That ability depends on accessibility.\u00a0\u00a0In the past every \u201ctrick\u201d from literacy tests to guessing the number of jelly beans in a jar was used to prevent registration.\u00a0\u00a0And while those more obvious \u201ctricks\u201d are gone, some state legislatures are TODAY engaging in a new form of denying accessibility.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Georgia, the state legislature is \u201crolling back\u201d access to absentee ballots.&nbsp;&nbsp;They are restricting early voting days, and discussing further legal documentation to \u201cqualify\u201d to vote.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is all in spite of the protestations of those same Georgia elections officials that the 2020 election was without fraud or deception.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same thing is happening in the Pennsylvania legislature.\u00a0\u00a0The Arizona state legislature is not only looking to restrict ballot access.  They are also considering the notion that the Legislature should have the right to overturn the vote of the people when it comes to Presidential electoral votes.\u00a0\u00a0Let\u2019s put that in plain English.\u00a0\u00a0If they don\u2019t like who the people choose for President, they want to choose someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Michael Carvin, a lawyer for Arizona\u2019s Republican Party said the \u201cunspoken part\u201d out loud in the United States Supreme Court yesterday, as he argued the \u201clegality\u201d of the state requiring every voter to vote in only in their own precinct.&nbsp;&nbsp;When Justice Barrett asked what interest his&nbsp;&nbsp;Party had in restricting where a voter could vote, he answered with the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cBecause it puts us at a competitive disadvantage relative to Democrats. Politics is a zero-sum game. And every extra vote they get through unlawful interpretation of Section 2 hurts us, it\u2019s the difference between winning an election 50-49 and losing an election 51 to 50.\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/elections\/supreme-court-gop-attorney-defends-voting-restrictions-saying-they-help-n1259305\">(NBC<\/a>).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If They Can\u2019t Win&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona:\u00a0\u00a0all of these states have a single commonality.\u00a0\u00a0Each was a pivotal state in the 2020 election and the electoral college loss of Donald Trump.\u00a0\u00a0And in each of these states, people of color came out in high percentages to vote for President Biden.\u00a0\u00a0Contrary to Trump\u2019s continuing delusion of election fraud, all evidence shows that these outcomes were accurate.\u00a0\u00a0But the outcomes weren\u2019t what the Republican state legislatures wanted.  So, if they can\u2019t control the vote, they\u2019ll control who comes to cast their ballot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Arizona they\u2019ll move and consolidate precincts making it more likely that it will take more time to vote, and be more difficult to get there.\u00a0\u00a0In Georgia, they\u2019ll discuss ending Sunday voting, so that Black Churches, who have traditionally voted after Sunday service, can\u2019t go. They all will restrict mail-in balloting.\u00a0\u00a0It all boils down to one thing:\u00a0\u00a0keeping people of color from voting, because they overwhelmingly supported a Democrat instead of their Republican.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And even here in \u201cperfect\u201d Ohio, the state legislature will continue to gerrymander the Congressional Districts, to make sure the \u201cright\u201d person can \u201cpick\u201d their voters and win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because if they can\u2019t win \u2013 they change the rules.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unfinished Business I listened to the Senate Judiciary Committee interrogate FBI Director Chris Wray on Tuesday.\u00a0\u00a0They want to know about his agency\u2019s role in preventing and investigating the January 6th\u00a0Insurrection.\u00a0\u00a0Director Wray has a \u201cfacile\u201d way of dodging the pointed Senate questions, from both sides of the aisle.\u00a0\u00a0He conveniently refuses to define domestic extremists by their &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/dahlman.online\/index.php\/2021\/03\/03\/stop-the-vote\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Stop the Vote&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4028","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Stop the Vote : Our America - Essays on Politics and American Life<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Insurrection to keep Trumpism in power didn&#039;t end.
