On October 21, U.S. District Court Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin enjoined the Department of Homeland Security from ringing doorbells in certain neighborhoods in nine states and asking if the inhabitant might have voted even though that inhabitant is not a citizen. The basis for the order is the federal Voting Rights Act, which bars intimidation of voters. California Nurses Association v Mullin, n.d., 4:26cv-10680. The judge stayed her own order until October 23 to give the federal government time to appeal.
Here is the ruling.
Kangaroo judge.
Your spam filters have still not been fixed and Not The Bee links are still not posting here, unlike when you’ve fixed them before and unlike other places.
As soon as you removed a comment with a Not The Bee link it automatically filtered them out. You have to whitelist it for it not to be blacklisted in comments settings .
HIGH NONVOTES / CENSUS POP = SUSPECT PCTS FOR INVADERS
ESP IN CA / TX / ETC
I don’t perceive that the editors of Not the Bee have any interest in ballot access. So it doesn’t cause me grief that comments to this website can’t link to Not the Bee. People who are interested in Not the Bee are free, as far as I know, to go to that website anytime they wish. And nothing prevents any commenter to this website from posting a comment saying Not the Bee has something especially interesting this day and suggesting that BAN readers look at Not the Bee.

INDEE IN NE FOR USA SENATOR
EXCUSE FOR D/R CONSPIRACY TO PURGE 3RDS/INDEES OFF ALL BALLOTS ???
Fake news. Demon rat stalking horse IINO (Independent in name only) (pronounced hyena) commie.
Richard Winger,
Why the double standard? Do the editors of the fake news outlets that AZ regularly links in your comments have more interest in ballot access than the editors of Not The Bee?
Why are links to Not The Bee being treated differently than links to USSR YESTERDAY, CCPNN, the Daily Satanist, et tedious cetera?
People who are interested in Yahoo News and the sources it aggregates can go to those sites, too.
And nothing prevents any commenter to this website from posting a comment saying yahoo “news” or any other dishonest leftard propaganda site AZ links multiple times every single day has something especially interesting this day and suggesting that BAN readers look at (sites x, y, and z).
So why can only one side of the political debate post actual links to its spin, while the other is put at a relative disadvantage by having to do relatively more work to ask people to in turn do relatively more work if they want to see for themselves?
I am only asking for a level playing field. If everyone was banned from posting unrelated news links from any source, I’d be fine with complying with such a ban.
Do you believe a level playing field is important? I think that’s a fundamental principle that arguments for equitable ballot access rest on.
It would be hypocritical to not provide a level playing field yourself where you are in the position of having the power and making and enforcing rules while asking for a level playing field where you and those you argue for are in the position I find myself in here.
Conversely, showing fair play and equal treatment to comments here would demonstrate the same open mindedness that you ask of government officials, lawmakers, debate sponsors, courts, etc.
The editors of Yahoo, CNN etc don’t care about ballot access yet you let AZ link their articles constantly.
You are a hypocrite.
Shadow banning is even worse than outright banning because you can say the links aren’t banned, even though it has the exact same effect.
Since you now admit they are effectively banned, we are back to the original question of what makes Not The Bee worse in your opinion than all the other sites that get linked here on a daily basis, usually with no connection to ballot access, much less any particular story here.
How would you like minor parties, their candidates, and independent candidates to be shadow banned from ballots? No explicit reason they don’t appear, no hurdle they haven’t jumped or standard others competing against them cleared and they failed to.
They just don’t appear. JUST BECAUSE.
When they make inquiries the answer is “you are not banned.”
After repeatedly not appearing and continuing to make inquiries they get told “nothing keeps your supporters from writing you in.”
But their opposition doesn’t have to write in.
That’s not a fair playing field.
And that’s what you are doing to NTB links here, vs their competitors.
It undercuts your arguments for ballot access and the principles they rely on as long as this unequal treatment continues.
Winger only supports left wing links.
How can that be? I thought he’s q libertarian?
All unrelated news coverage links are equal, but some are more equal than others, amirite?
Richard Winger and the lemon “libertarian” party say they aren’t leftist. Watch what they do, not what they say.
Richard Winger may not have liked what he saw in communist Cuba. But he still helps grease the skid path that’s leading the USA in the exact same direction by showing a clear preference for “news coverage” that’s designed to help incrementally reshape American opinion and policy over time to get us there.
The only actually libertarian party remaining in the USA is the ballot unqualified Free State Party in NH. There is no longer a libertarian party called Libertarian anywhere in the country.
The last libertarian party in the USA worthy of the name was NHLP which was disaffiliated and then suspended from X.
Winger probably supports the congresswoman with the alias of Ilhan Omar.
The illegal alien invader reportable who married her brother and has now basically admitted it, and lied about her age and name to become a citizen?
The Somali pirate scammer who made ten$ of million$ selling empty wine barrels?
Deportable?
What’s her real name, again?
