Thousands of Mississippians like Lowery — whose votes may decide a critical U.S. Senate race, in which Democrat Scott Colom holds a slim lead over Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith ® — are still waiting to have their ballots counted. That’s because of the Republican secretary of state’s contract with Experian, a global credit reporting agency whose data has been described as riddled with errors, that threw thousands of voters into “inactive” status in the months leading up to the general election.
In highly populated DeSoto County, over 15,000 people were removed as active voters in the time between the primary and general election, according to an analysis from Mississippi Today with data from the state.
Other counties with high rates of inactive voters include Jackson with 14,063 and Harrison, where Lowery votes, with 28,921. For many of these voters showing up to the polls on Tuesday, this was a shock.
Stop equating acts of anti-democratic treason — morally and ethically equivalent to election fraud and coup de tat — with political sabotage.
These are criminals engaging in the highest of crimes.
Ratfucking is a term that includes electoral fraud and strongly implies illegal conduct.
Well, it is election fraud, so yeah it’s equivalent to itself!
It’s obviously both of those things.
