  1. Meanwhile, it’s being left to groups *not* associated with the Michigan Democratic Party — the campaigners for marijuana legalization and banning fracking and frack wastes (both endorsed by the Green Party of Michigan, by the way) — to prepare to point out in court the unconstitutionality of a bill now sitting on the desk of “Tough-as-Lead Nerd” Rick Snyder which would end all chance to use the legal process of validating older signatures on initiative petitions (much less to update that process to use the state’s now 20-year-old Qualified Voter File technology).

  2. Hopefully the Donald will NOT be picking the NERD MORON (Flint Water DEAD and injured) Snyder to be his VP choice.

    Donkeys — ALL humans vote 24/7 — alive or dead.

    Elephants – NO human vote anytime or place — even alive.

    How many seconds until Civil WAR II starts — in MI, CA, TX, Fl, OH, etc. ???

  3. Can ALL of the juveniles on this list be banned ???

    — the type of juveniles who NEVER read ANY of the JUNK SCOTUS opinions about ballot access since 1968 ???

    — i.e. who are brain dead clueless about anything to do with political history, constitutional law, and esp. the rotted election parts of the USA Const and the various States.

    — i.e. who love ALL of the EVIL machinations of the OLIGARCHY Donkeys/Elephants

    — stuff like the ANTI-Democracy minority rule gerrymanders in the Fed regime and in all State regimes since 1776-1788.

    The complaint is based on racial discrimination and violation of the ADA (Americans with Disability Act).

    According to the complaint 75% of blacks vote straight-ticket and over half of all Michiganese. Because of past educational discrimination it will take blacks longer to understand the new-fangled system. Because of the local administration of elections, and precarious financial situation in places like Detroit, Flint, and Pontiac, there won’t be enough voting booths in black areas. Blacks will face longer lines, make more mistakes, be embarrassed, etc. so they won’t vote.

  5. What’s next — having automatic votes for Elephants / Donkeys if an Elector-Voter happens to be white / nonwhite — alive or dead ???

    Why have elections ???

    For the clueless — ALL persons (sane adults at least) are alleged to be aware of ALL laws ALL the time — i.e. BALLOT INSTRUCTIONS.

    aka — ignorance of the LAW is NO excuse.

    Michigan has ALL vote-scan ballots — will be around 10 party hack offices (Fed, State, Local) on each ballot — with lots of nonpartisan judge offices in urban areas.

    What’s next — back to the OLD paper ballots
    — with translator party hacks in each voter booth to tell the voters who to vote for ???

    How many seconds until Civil WAR II starts ???
    — i.e. Clinton/Trump shoot off their EVIL LAWLESS brains/mouths and things really happen.
