Trump adviser Kobach is the Republican patron saint of voter-suppression fuckery, and it’s always cheering when he gets slapped by his betters:
A federal judge has ordered that Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach be held in contempt of court for disobeying her orders in the proof-of-citizenship voter registration case.
Judge Julie Robinson in her decision Wednesday bashed Kobach’s failure to send postcards to voters whose registrations were restored by her previous move to block the proof-of-citizenship requirement for the 2016 election.
“Kansans have come to expect these postcards to confirm their registration status, and Defendant ensured the Court on the record that they had been sent prior to the 2016 general election,” Robinson said. “They were not, and the fact that he sent a different notice to those voters does not wholly remove the contempt, nor does his attempt to resend postcards eighteen months after the election and five months after Plaintiffs notified him of the issue.”
She also took issue with Kobach’s refusal to update the state’s training manual for election officials to reflect her 2016 order blocking the proof-of-citizenship requirement. Kobach had argued that he need not change the manual until the Supreme Court had a chance to weigh in on the case, and that he communicated with election officials via email the changes in policy due to her 2016 order.
Kobach is a Fascist who represents the oligarchs.
The oligarchs are authoritarian Fascists ideologically.
Ask any Republican or Conservative or Evangelical Christian to prove what they are claiming and they can’t. Because it’s all magical thinking and fantasy.
Zuckerberg is one of these Fascist oligarchs.
His Facebook is trying to re-introduce facial recognition into Europe after Zuckerberg was told by a court of law in 2011 that his app was a violation of privacy and to cease and desist.
Zuckerberg also wants Canada to allow its use.
Zuckerberg developed the app in China.
China has since introduced Zuckerberg’s technology into every home, building, on every street, in every subway, etc. nationwide to “prevent terrorism.”
The National Security Agency doesn’t hold a candle to Big Brother Facebook.
The attorney’s fees sanction (rare in the extreme) was ordered payable to the ACLU.
