You're way off base here. Florida has a huge problem with the over-incarceration of blacks and other minorities. Saying that this added cost to vote will disproportionately hurt minorities is simply a statement of fact, and is probably a big reason for it's existence.
**** Thriller and NPC. You’ll ill pause and listen to.
So, I went back and reread NPCs post that I quoted and he says:
The DNC base IS minorities. It’s certainly possible that I missed earlier context. But I took this as him saying that DNC base is comprised of criminals. go look at minority votes and tell me it’s not DNC.
So I took an opportunity to tweak his nose. I think everything about NPC is fake, as stated earlier, so I think his posts are for show. So I don’t give them honest replies. I’m not above giving him 1 + 2 = 7 replies. Because why not

I'll tweak my own nose thank you. Honk Honk.
Now let me tweak your ears.
Facts. I am 100% real, and you cry too much. All I give you is 10x10=100 posts and replies. Never fake. Always given 100
Facts. Your posts are for attention. That's why you post. You are a drama queen looking for action. Your posts are 5 -16= -11, well below the bare minimum effort and quality.

LOL, so I thought this was in response to Thriller (because I have that other yahoo on ignore). Carry on.

As do I. People seriously still respond to hack? I put him, toilet, and babe on ignore months ago. When @Stoked responded to hack, it kept showing up as updates for me. So without reading ignored users, it appeared as if Stoked was responding to me.
So I don’t know if by having hack on ignore caused a massive confusion or what. But the truth is:
A. Florida has a long sick history with black voter suppression.
B. Florida’s legislature is committing a disgusting act by placing a poll tax on ex-felons all for political and racist purposes.
C. Can’t we all agree that once a person has served their time they should regain their voting rights without having to pay additional taxes, fees, or punishments?

I noticed that a lot of this discussion between about 5 of you has been miscommunication because of the 5 I think each has at least 2 or 3 of the others on ignore. It has been pretty funny reading from the sidelines. I actually had to click the "show ignored content" to really see how silly it was.

Obama's assumption that Clinton would win anyway was huge. It was the reason that they felt like they were going to get away with continuing to run the intelligence community in such a massively biased way. Trump's election is a nightmare scenario to them for that reason more than any other.

All presidents go through this. They all seem to use a lot more restraint than trump does

The ****ing Democrats are just so unreal. Where do they get off being so damn inconsistent and hypocritical? The hypocrisy coming from this party right now is like nothing I have ever witnessed. I mean really, the nerve of these people. Practically everything they do and say is laced with slimy hypocrisy. Makes you feek like you are living in bizzaro world and a fiction reality. This really feels like a movie.

The problem with this tweet is that it ignores the context in the 2016 election that would lead Pelosi to issue such a warning.
Namely, for months prior to the election, Trump claimed that the only way he would lose is if the election was rigged. And at rally after rally, he said it would be rigged. Most of us understood this to just be a way to make it appear he was cheated out of a win. He would never accept the fact that he could possibly truly lose at anything, after all:
https://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/donald-trump-rigged-election-226588
Then, during the last debate of 2016, he refused to say he would concede the election if he lost, thereby threatening the peaceful transfer of power:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...ald-trump-election-results-reaction/92445068/
"Donald Trump has, in recent days, blasted the presidential campaign as "rigged," and at Wednesday's debate in Las Vegas, he was asked whether he would accept the election results, no matter the outcome.
He refused to make that commitment, saying he would "look at it at the time." When pressed again by moderator Chris Wallace, the GOP nominee said: “I will tell you at the time. I will keep you in suspense.”
-------------------
He later revised that by saying he would accept the results, if he won! Lol....
So, given this context, how can anyone blame Pelosi for feeling this way? After all, he has already overseen an increasing trend toward authoritarianism:
1. He has eliminated an independent DOJ, by appointing an AG that is no longer the people's AG, but simply another one of his legal defenders.
2. He is attempting to eliminate the Constitutional right of the Legislative branch to excercise oversight over the Executive branch, by simply ignoring every and all requests and supeanas pertaining to documents and testimony. Including suing Deutche Bank to keep his finances unseen. That may be justified, but it's more likely there are things he does not want the public to see, just as he continues to block access to his tax returns. This ignoring of the House also threatens our system that recognizes that all three branches of the federal government are equals.
Given these already obvious trends toward increasing the power of an imperial presidency, bolstered by an AG who believes in unlimited power for the Executive branch( and it's appropriate that Kamala Harris had asked the IG to find out if Trump has directed the AG to go after Trump's enemies), of course we should not expect a peaceful transition if Trump lost a close election in 2020. Even his supporters should be willing to admit that much.
Does anyone really believe he would pull an Al Gore and concede a close election, to preserve our tradition of peaceful transition? At the least, such an outcome goes against everything we know about Donald Trump. It would be completely out of character.
