But never, never pressure them to vote a certain way. It is morally wrong to do that. Should be legally wrong too. You are right.

I guess I shouldn't be shocked. Every time I think repugs have reached their nadir, I find out I'm wrong.

Really unbelievable

We got a postcard in the mail giving us information on voter registration deadlines in our state and phone numbers to call for information. No pressure to vote a certain ticket (although I know what its preference would be!)

This is the same as sexual harassment. Your vote is your vote. No one is allowed in that voting booth with you. It is our right to freedom of choice. Big business is way out of control!

because in days way past, there were attempts to buy votes with offers of drinks, than it is hard to see why this behaviors, in those same states, is legal. Buying votes and coercing votes has the same effect.

It seems we weren't supposed to sell any booze until the polls were closed.

...the bosses that is, will never change until someone makes sure there are consequences for their actions...dire consequences.

... ever gets so much as one day in jail or a nickels worth of fine for this shit. I ain't holding my breath, that's for sure. Our "Dept of Justice" is more concerned with busting everyday citizens for smoking a little pot than they are with preserving our voting rights.

However, there should be a federal law against it.

But they aren't in the booth with you and they can't see how you vote.

But they can see if you put out or not. Which makes a difference.

From my point of view, the ability of the extortionist to verify would indicate the sexual favor itself defines the crime rather than the extortion and intimidation. Given that, I stand by my comparison.

Remember Cheney saying that if the American people didn't reelect the Bush cartel the United States would be hit with another terrorist attack worse than 9-11.

...anything else that suppresses legitimate votes in an election. I'm serious. I think that is a most reprehensible crime which can cause so much suffering and death that it needs to be severely punished. If this sort of shit doesn't go unpunished people think they can get away with it.

needs to be a death penalty offense.

Now how much will employers attempt to influence the outcome?

Die MF!

Apparently this crap is protected free speech.

Like an armed robber holding a gun to your child's head and saying "Give me what I want or the kid dies!"

First the right to vote and then it is much easier to erode the rest of your rights.

Will explain later.

Btw do NOT tell them they are in America or let them see a flag because they might ask for asylum.

If you don't train them you are fired now. If you do train them you are fired later.

Forcing employees to buy their own votes. Vote buying is illegal.

In another office, a state office, there was a little Pro-Life duet who were allowed "during lunch hours" to go around telling everyone about their Pro-Life meetings at church.

Not to mention electoral treason and electoral extortion.

I don't know about you, but it sure makes me want to get my guillotine on!

I am waiting, with baited breath, for the DOJ to act.

Sadly I think I will wait a long time.



but it is a violation of Federal Law.
