The Supreme Court granted a request from the state of Alabama to prohibit voters from casting their ballots curbside

The Supreme Court granted a request Wednesday from the state of Alabama to prohibit voters from casting their ballots curbside, an accommodation sought by Covid-vulnerable voters in the state.

The 5-3 order was unsigned, but Justice Sonia Sotomayor, joined by the other liberal justices on the bench, Elena Kagan and Stephen Breyer, dissented.A federal district court had concluded that curbside voting should be allowed."The severity of the COVID--19 pandemic should, by now, need no elaboration," Sotomayor wrote.

Racist statues being torn down : OUR FREEDOM!!!! 🤬 Voter Suppression: 🤷 Got it. Another point for America. facistsfortrump

There’s an option still there in the United States It is in our conduct to establish: It is on our choice to be respectable and prosperous or contemptible and miserable; as a nation. As we surrender our trust to a president; as I vote. GET AMY BARRETT OUT!!! Get her OUT! Go Biden

Brought to you by the least racist person in the room.

I’m still waiting for Joe Biden and sons explanation on how he got paid all that money for not knowing a thing about Barisma except that they were currupt! How is that possible? That’s needs to be explained! Fyi-look at his record of accomplishments. Very little in 47 years.

Why

Just think of all the carbon that would be released into the atmosphere from voting this way. Clearly Alabama is a green minded state and all of these other people could care less about their carbon footprint. Selfish selfish selfish people

The US needs an ENTIRELY new government! If Americans and so-called patriots, every citizen, allows this $HIT to continue without change, what we will witness is the DEATH OF A NATION!

Good!

Funny thing is in my province in Canada we just had an election where I witnessed a 90+ yr old vote from her car due to mobility and covid-19 issues. Everything seemed to work out well. The sky didn't fall. The world didn't end. Maybe our election officials are smarter.

This has been designed to help those with handicaps or health issues. Voter Suppression.

What specific risk is 'inherent in voting'? Please elaborate.

America is falling apart under trump, time for better leadership

This is clear voter suppression and using office power for personal enegit using the supreme Court.

When it comes to voting, the United States of America as a democracy, is a total embarrassment. It's time to take elections out of the hands of each individual state and have an independent group take over.

Then Alabama will redistribute voting machines to white voters, creating an impossible situation for minorities

Walk two feet to the ballot box. Cheese and crackers!!!!!

Not surprising since the Supreme Court has become Donald “ crazy uncle” trump’s personal law firm

This late in the game sounds like voter suppression.

Like what could even be the problem with people voting from their car? This is so bizarre and makes 0 sense.

I lived in Alabama from 6 months old thru high school. It was always a depressing place. I only go back when there's a death in the family.

I have mixed feelings on voting modifications. I am well aware of the tendency of some men to intimidate their wives regarding ballot choices. Any rule that makes it too easy for one person to control another's vote is unacceptably dangerous, regardless of which side is helped.

Voter suppression. Plus AL is so backwards.

Racist state doing the most to make sure people don’t get to vote- how pathetic.

Doesn’t surprise me coming from Alabama where the laws are backward and their government suppresses everything to the core. Down with Alabama 👎

Only democracy in the world that try's to stop people voting if We were so great like people claim you would think that would not be a thing

Gotta stop the vote. That’s Trumps game.

This pure and simple VOTER SUPPRESSION CONGRESS NEEDS TO HELP STOP THIS NOW 221,000 OF AMERICANS ARE DEAD DOES ALABAMA JUDGES WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE AMERICAN LIVES. SURE LOOKS LIKE THEY DO

Republicans rigging the election again they already paid Russian to get involved again.

kevinpurcell The Supreme Court is therefore Unconstitutional Corrupt & Complicit. EVERYTHING IT MUST NOT BE. This decision must be Challenged.

Dear America, please don’t become that 3rd world dictatorship run country that doesn’t let their people vote to make a difference. What ever it takes “VOTE “

Psalms 12:6 'The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.'

Why does the Republican party hate the freedoms of having the right to vote so much? I mean how does this even help their party as well? I know there are elderly Republicans as well? Why do they hate the Constitution so much? I mean they really want Fascism to reign.

Disgraceful

So how come conservative Supreme Court justices rule against a states rights when its democrat but for a states rights when its republican that doesn’t sound constitutional or conservative to me it sounds partisan. Ironically the only justice who has ruled consistently is Roberts

Yes, heaven forbid Scotus Give the voters in Alabama a better chance to get covid!

...why tho

Those 5 justices should be impeached if Democrats ever regain a supermajority.

Just the tip of the iceberg for the New SCOTUS. Think things are bad now? 2020 ain't got sh*t on the upcoming chaos of 2021.

Why can't people just mail it in? Or drop it off and not wait in line...

Breaking: Alabama now requires poll workers to spit in mouths of voters

If we get control of senate, oval office and retain the house, how about WE PACK THE FUCKING COURTS!! Let me say that again for those in the back. If we win oval, senate, house, LET'S PACK THE FUCKING COURTS! Its time we take our lives, country back!

This could have been stopped the day the south lost the Civil War. Send the losers away from America.

Wtf?

This only proves further how backward the state of Alabama is! Run by Republicans the last 20 years, the state is broke, last n education, health, basically everything. Red states broke, blue states support them, while rich Republican politicians laugh all the way 2 the bank! SMH

It is clearly time to balance the court so that radical right zealots in SCOTUS do not derail this country and oppress it's citizens. Biden should do the right thing in his first 100 days. SCOTUS

WTF. are we still a democracy

Hmmmmm another colorful way to apply voter suppression for those who otherwise can't vote! And we know the subset of the population that this hurts the most

Mr. Burns would be pleased.

Again the Republicans are playing right into dump trump’s hands. Americans have voted for years in fact he was elected with the, now rigged voting claims he’s making. Go sit down or better yet, make a plan to control this pandemic.🤬

We truly live in a third world.

Well this is a glimpse of things to come. Remember elections have consequences and sitting this one out is not an option. This could’ve been avoided if people voted in 2016.

Wear a mask and vote in person. There is a reason the majority of the world doesn’t allow this or mail-in-voting. It’s ripe for corruption.

Alabama's argument: No reason, we just want to be assholes. . .

How stupid can Alabama be? This stupid. Oregon has had mail in voting for years. No lines. No waiting. No fraud.

Typical MAGA nonsense.

Wow.

Voter Suppression

SCOTUS is corrupt

FFS

Welcome to freaking Alabama, my state, Republicans been restricting people n voter's for ever.😒😒😒

Why?!?

cool. more voter suppression.

Republicans continue making it so difficult for their stupid followers to defend them.

Why? Are they afraid people are actually voting? Seems like voter suppression to me.

VoterSuppression

Elect Biden. Flip the Senate. Increase the number of Supreme Court Justices to eleven. End life-time appointments: The Conservative Justices get more imbecilic with age. How can anyone in their right mind not insure the right to vote. These idiots ended the Voter's Right Act.

Gop... afraid of voters

WHY is everyone afraid of voters? Oh wait...

Rednecks

Voter suppression by the Republican side of the supreme court

Lazy ass people

Well, that's stupid.

This is soooo wrong!

Yeah nothing more democratic than trying to stop ppl from voting 🗳

Money laundering on the Biden laptop. Report the news.

Curbside in Alabama? Aren’t all their cars on blocks?

BREAKING NEWS: Alabama hates minorities after football eligibility expires.

Love how they're protecting the republic from the people's oversight, very true to their oath of office, the constitution surely was meant to promote inequality

Yeah of course they do..... Cause voter suppression

WHY

Of course, because gosh, who needs those pesky voters! Just have Trump declare himself President for life and be done with these tedious, annoying elections.

Doesn’t matter. A solid Trump state anyway

Did you see this though?

Thanks to Trump

This is ridiculous! The GOP have literally lost their souls!

They're going to revisit Plessey v Ferguson at this point

You should be embarrassed - the country is laughing at your state!

The greatest democracy in the world doing its very best to prevent people actually voting

Such a disgrace that Republicans continue to suppress voting every way the can!

SAME SCOTUS 🔥

The south is so ass backwards its ridiculous

Why aren't we doing everything possible in our country to make voting easier and why are the courts complicit in voter suppression? Makes you wonder.

If they can walk in a grocery store they can go vote ! People have died so they can go vote IT’S A PRIVILEGE !!!!!!

This is America!🙄

Alabama: Hey can we do something to legally allow people from safely voting from their cars? Supreme Court: yeah whatever

What in the actual fuck

👎

VoterSuppression

The Republican Party can only win elections by disenfranchising voters.

Because, Alabama.

Hunter Biden Money Laundering Scheme. FBI investigating tonight...

Alabama sucks

Yeah. Why would we want to make it easier to vote?

Even more voter suppression
