The havoc wrought by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina brought disaster to homes and families, but that has not stopped Democrats from blocking the approval of emergency early voting sites in the heavily Republican area. The refusal to act forced the GOP-led state legislature to intervene.
Democrat-run local elections boards in McDowell and Henderson counties have failed to approve additional early voting sites in the disaster-stricken area, despite increasing calls for more access to voting. Both counties voted for Donald Trump in 2020.
“Ensuring the right to vote is upheld for western NC citizens devastated by Hurricane Helene should be a non-partisan issue,

MSNBC running Nazi rally footage with the Trump MSG footage? Blocking voting? I loathe these people.

Democrats showing their True Colors! They were trying to make folks believe they had their best interest in mind until they realized those people are Republicans! So now they are fighting to keep the Republicans from casting their Votes. Nice!

Same old playbook. Stall, delay, and drag things through the courts until the election is come and gone.
This one may blow up in their faces - most citizens won't stand for using a catastrophe to win an election.

People like my family members are scared to death to listen to and read news or social media by anyone other than the lying media. They are willingly ignorant, but they want to yell at you and tell you how wrong you are. They listen to idiots all day long. I'm talking about intelligent and accomplished family members, not just the oh so dumb ones. Lenard of the Breakfast Club had a so-called hip hop artist (hip hop is supposed to be independent, nonconformist to mainstream) on who insisted that he was the first to accuse PDT of being a fascist (that's a unique perspective), declared kamala is not a communist or socialist, and insisted that she's a capitalist. Of all things, a capitalist. They had the nerve to tell me the race is close, and they can't understand why. Of course, they were repeating stupid michael obama. It was mild compared to past times, but I had a long weekend, Lucianne fam.

9 and 12 sound like my family! I have always been a Republican. No problem until they either went away to College, or married a Democrat! Now all Three of my Children are Rabid Democrats as are Their Children who are now Parents. Makes my Head want to explode! You can't have a Conversation with them when it comes to Politics. They won't listen! They are Right and that is all there is to it! So, we decree a NO-Politics Zone when we are all together. So far, they haven't thrown me out of the Family for being so stupid as to vote for Trump, which I just did!

Well, Democrats are just going to be Democrats. After all, one person's voter suppression is just a Democrat being neighborly.

Actual early voting in Western NC shows 10 of the 11 disaster counties ahead of 2020. A National Guardsmen I know who is working in the area said,
"People are voting. And, they are P#ssed!"

9,12 & 13, there's nothing like serving four years in the military before college to prepare a student to see through the propaganda dished out by the man-bun sissies and feminist professors. When you see what the rest of the world is like and then come home to America, you are a strong conservative like a sword fashioned from good steel in a hot fire. I had one professor who stated that if all guns were taken away from the people, crime would vanish from the country in a generation. I could not help but laugh at his silly logic. The colleges turn out thousands of dumb little democrats because they get the kids too young and naive to know any better.

#9 hugs to you. I have a very devout Christian nonagenearian friend who says they would never vote for that man yet recoils in revulsion at the policies of the Democratic Party. Then they spout, where did you get that information? How do you know it’s true? Yikes when told I shop at at a broad spectrum of sites and where they align I can find truth, Still, orange man bad maybe I won’t vote (insert sad face emoji)

Of course the democrats don't care about these poor ravished people and whether they can get to vote...depending on which area is red and which area is blue...so obvious....just keep going...help your neighbor get to the polling place....use the $75 dollars commie camalot gave you to hire a cab to take you...pay a neighbor's gas to drive you...don't give up...you're an American and you should vote...no matter what the White House says.....

I feel for all the posters with dems in their families, I have mainly in-laws who will not listen to reason, i.e.,...they're dems.
The reason it is this way, aside from the constant bombardment of lies from the Enemedia, is what poster #18 mentioned, indoctrination. Or you can call it brainwashing, and IMO it starts much earlier than college. It's just students get a mega dose of propaganda when they hit the college level. Also, being in the military in decades past was likely a good deterrent for believing propagandizing BS, whether it was college or the Enemedia in your ear. I'd say at a guess being in the military now isn't quite as effective since the leftist swine have sabotaged much of the branches of service.
