    Hate in my heart? Because I strongly oppose and speak out against an unconstitutional assault on democracy, the very foundation of our country? While trump's supporters mumble about "well, he has a point"? Spare me...

    I have lots of Trump supporters in my family I love deeply that openly support giving Trump autocratic powers because they traffic deeply in conspiracy theories and believe Liberals are an existential threat to humanity.

    Please don’t go there by us calling out Trump supporters having taking an aggressive stance against Democracy as “hate in your heart”. That’s crap man.

    Believe it or not, there are still people who have not YET gone in on Trump, including me and some people I know. Yes, he can still find more bitter enemies in this country.

    TRUMP CALLED THIS ELECTION ‘RIGGED.’ DATA INDICATES OTHERWISE
    The decision to give a California city a polling center sparked a clash — with national implications

    Carrie Levine
    Pratheek Rebala

    INTRODUCTION
    President Donald Trump fumed that a California special congressional election is a “Rigged Election!” because local officials opened an additional polling center to better accommodate voters who do not — or cannot — vote by mail.

    Their “votes must not count,” Trump tweeted.

    But without the additional vote center, residents of the ethnically diverse California city of Lancaster would have had to travel, on average, roughly twice as far as voters elsewhere in the district, according to a Center for Public Integrity analysis of in-person vote center locations and voter file data provided by L2, a national nonpartisan data provider.

    METHODOLOGY
    Our analysis used locations of vote centers from Los Angeles and Ventura (the two counties that constitute California’s 25th Congressional District) and voter-file data from L2 Political, a non-partisan data vendor. The ethnicity estimates used in this analysis are based on modeled data provided by L2. For each voter in the congressional district, we calculated the distance (“as the crow flies”) to their closest vote-center before and after the addition of the vote-center at Lancaster National Soccer Center.

    California’s 25th District congressional election is being conducted primarily by mail, but state law requires in-person voting options. Adding the vote center, which Los Angeles County election officials announced on Friday at the behest of Lancaster’s Republican mayor, reduced the travel distance for Lancaster voters closer to that of voters living elsewhere in the district, the Public Integrity analysis found.

    The spat over a single in-person voting center in a special election being conducted primarily by mail anyway is a small window into a larger war over voting that’s raging ahead of the November general election. Republicans and Democrats are vying to shape how people cast their ballots while exchanging explosive charges of voter fraud, election tampering and disenfranchisement of minority voters.

    “I didn’t know this thing was going to blow up the way it did,” said Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris in an interview Tuesday, adding that he had spoken off the cuff when requesting the vote center after being told by a reporter that the neighboring city of Palmdale had them — and Lancaster did not.

    “I just kneejerked it,” Parris said.

    Afterward, Parris explained, Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder Dean Logan called him and offered to add a vote center in Lancaster, a city of about 160,000, a chunk of which falls in the 25th District. Drexel Heard II, executive director of the Los Angeles County Democratic Party, said Democrats had also separately advocated for an additional vote center in Lancaster, where, he pointed out, many voters are people of color.

    Both Heard and Parris said they were initially unaware of the other’s request.

    Prior to the addition of a vote center at the National Soccer Center, the nearest in-person location for most residents in Lancaster was the Pampered Pooch Pet Hotel or the Palmdale Elk’s Lodge — both in the neighboring city of Palmdale.

    “Our argument was not that we are expecting people to run to the voting centers,” Heard said. “But we did want to make sure that people had their voting center accessible to them.”

    Parris, a lawyer who has worked on Voting Rights Act cases in California, said the incident has him thinking about how decisions such as the location of vote centers could be used to influence the outcome of an election. He said Republicans objecting have a legitimate point, even though he stressed he expects few voters to cast ballots in person. Election officials need to carefully consider how such decisions are made before November, he said.

    “We seem to be becoming a society that sees a conspiracy around every corner, and that’s really not what happened here,” Parris said.

    Public Integrity’s analysis estimates the Lancaster vote center will be the closest vote center for roughly 40 percent of African-American voters in the congressional district.

    Election officials sent every registered voter a mail-in ballot and expected most voters participating in the election to use them rather than vote in person. About one voter out of every three has returned a mail ballot, ballot tracking data shows.

    Under California law, election officials are required to offer safe, in-person voting options for those who need or choose them, such as voters with disabilities, those who need language help, or those taking advantage of same-day registration.

    The congressional district includes parts of northern Los Angeles County and part of Ventura County. In Los Angeles County, officials had planned to offer in-person voting at nine vote centers available to any voter in the county. The southern portion of Lancaster is in the district.

    Two candidates, Democratic state assemblywoman Christy Smith and Republican businessman Mike Garcia, are seeking to replace former Rep. Katie Hill, a Democrat who resigned last fall, leaving the seat vacant.

    Partial results Wednesday morning showed Garcia with a lead. The two will face off again in November, seeking election for a full term. Both have weighed in on Twitter about the vote center fracas.

    In response to a request for comment, Michael Sanchez, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County registrar-recorder’s office, said his office could not confirm the Public Integrity analysis. But given social distancing orders related to the pandemic, he said his office had looked for locations with large exterior lots that could safely serve as vote centers.

    “We geographically placed vote centers throughout Congressional District 25 that could accommodate the largest eligible voting population,” Sanchez said in an email, also noting that the district covers a large geographic area.

    “The COVID-19 pandemic has limited a lot of activity and options, but we have demonstrated that we can provide safe and secure in-person voting options for those who need or choose them,” he said.

    Again, a trump tactic... people that oppose me are simply trump haters, or never trumpers. It doesn't matter what awful thing he says, does or tweets... he gets defended by his supporters who dismiss objections as "trump hating".

    There's another thread dedicated to Trump propaganda so it definitely balances out.

    We are in the midst of information warfare. I cannot open up Facebook without being slammed with conspiracy theory falsehoods with a political agenda to help Trump.

    If we did not have people combating that type of nonsense with massive amounts on information on the other side we’d be in trouble.

    Just as I have the ability to push ignore on conspiracy theory crap on Facebook you have the ability to ignite NewRox. However sanitizing your echo chamber isn’t a healthy practice even though sometimes it’s just too much.

    Do what you want but political information blasting is just what we have to deal with and you don’t have the credibility to call one side hate filled and completely ignore the fact that ever action has an equal and opposite reaction. However in this case it’s not equitable at all. Show me 5 posts from NewRox that is false conspiracy theory propaganda.

    It’s not hate... it’s information warfare caused from the right wings propaganda that must be combated or we are truly lost as a society.

I think that black lives matter but i dont think the org BLM is on the up and up. If i were to share that opinion on my fb, i risk my job because of cancel culture.
