The law for sex changes for prisoners was the same under Trump. It's not actually been done under Biden or Trump.

There is an anti-Sherrod Brown ad here in Ohio beating up the transexual stuff. Men in women's bathrooms, etc..
They are using the exact same ad in other states, just changing the names. Same graphics, same script.
Sherrod Brown is associated with zero transgender legislation.

As to Ohio's secretary of state "suing Biden", he is suing Homeland Security for data they say they don't have. He is naming Biden for effect. There is no way he could use the data this late if it did exist, it's all to have lies to cite after the election to challenge it.
If you research one "story" like that and find it to be a lie, you might question the source or the person that spread. it.

Repugs are lying liars who lie. We all kinda know this, don't we?
 
So I'm in a gaming server on discord that has a very active lefty politics channel, and they are feeling super confident. Like to the point they're talking about winning Texas and shit.
 
Probably believing their own astroturfing

That all changed two weeks ago, when X user @jessiprincey replied to one of my posts with a screenshot from a Discord server, seemingly related to the Harris-Walz campaign:

I immediately messaged Jess, and soon received a link to the Discord server where this operation was taking place. What I’d find there went far beyond algorithmic manipulation. I discovered massive “astroturfing” campaigns operating across multiple platforms

As to your posts on Virginia removing non-citizens from the rolls.
It's estimated that one in 4 of the voters removed were by mistake, they were citizens, but regardless of that number...
There is a federal law prohibiting purging the rolls within 90 days of an election since those removed by mistake would not have time to fix the issue.
The law is the law.
I happened to read that. It's not even worth taking time to disprove this stuff anymore.
 
You guys see a while ago when the FBI released that Trump hit his ear on the podium he was speaking from? I remember somebody being very adamant here that it was a bullet and not shrapnel and other shit like that.

I did not see that report, but did they explain why he grabbed his ear before he dropped to the ground ?

Oh no!!! Not an online community sharing their political beliefs on public platforms!! It mostly talks about a discord server designed to 'push propaganda' as if spreading the hateful lie that immigrants are eating pets, to push their campaign, (which, as a person who has lived in Springfield, during the large part of the end of Biden administration, I have witnessed to be false) isn't the definition of propaganda. Neither side is great, but at least one side isn't headed by a rapist!
Also, the first article calls " Reddit, one of the top social media sites" lol

A divided court sided with Republicans, allowing the state to cull about 1,600 voters less than a week before Election Day.

sadly you may be correct. most of it is easily debunked - or at very least placed in a wider context - with just a little independent reading.

today, the governator weighed in!

what is that? an excel file?

Loading…

This implies you need to file an FOIA request to get the data, which takes awhile, and it will come in .CSV format... which that screenshot is not.

smells like bullshit to me, where is the source? where is any backing info other than an easily faked screenshot of random data?

The QVF file is not available on demand. You have to do a request. The guy is a lawyer so it's plausible he obtained it, but:

No, Michigan does not have more active voters than people eligible to vote.

Despite claims by Elon Musk and others, Michigan has several systems in place aimed at keeping the state’s voter rolls clean and accurate.

No, Michigan does not have more voters than residents eligible to vote​

Misleading claims about the state’s voter roll ignore the large number of voters marked as inactive who cannot be removed for several years.​

A misleading claim promoted by right-wing activists has gained traction through X owner Elon Musk and other supporters of Donald Trump, feeding a false impression that there’s something wrong with Michigan’s voter rolls.

The claim — that Michigan has more voters than people eligible to vote — has been debunked extensively by the state as well as independent experts. A federal court ruling this week weighed in on a similar GOP claim, finding flaws in the comparison of data points and no proof that the discrepancy amounts to a violation of law, just as previous courts have found.

Musk and others cite the data points to argue that the discrepancy could enable fraudulent voting. The claim is based on a misunderstanding about the makeup of the state’s voter roll and what it means in relation to Census population data. It ignores the fact that the total number of registrations on the roll includes a large number of voters who are marked as inactive but who must be kept on the roll for several years under federal law. Most of those voters likely are no longer residents of the state.

The claim echoes a history of litigation from conservative organizations. Most recently, a lawsuit filed by the Republican National Committee in March argued that Michigan’s voter roll maintenance runs afoul of federal law, because 76 of Michigan’s 83 counties had voter registration rates higher than 90%. A federal judge’s ruling Tuesday shot that argument down, while also dismissing the suit on the basis that the RNC lacked legal grounds to bring it.

In her ruling, U.S. District Judge Jane M. Beckering noted that the plaintiffs “do not identify a single voter in any Michigan county who is ineligible to be registered but nonetheless appears as an active voter in the QVF,” referring to the qualified voter file.

Beckering agreed with the state’s characterization of the RNC’s complaint as an assertion that “something must be wrong with the Defendants’ program, but Plaintiffs do not know what it is.”

But I can't find anything yet to dispute the specific claims that one voter ID has been used to place multiple votes. But it makes sense that if one Michigan based conspiracy has been debunked, this one will too with time.
 
What he says it shows is that the same voter ID number (voter) voted 29 times from multiple addresses

This guy says the campaign is looking into it
