She's blazing a trail. //
Nancy got flamed over her tweeted claim of an “alarming” incident in Wisconsin.
Here we go:
“It’s beyond alarming that more than 200,000 registered Wisconsin voters will be prohibited from voting. Less than a year from the election, we must ensure [Wisconsin Democrats] have the resources to respond with a massive voter registration effort. Don’t agonize. Organize!” //
Pelosi says these 200,000-plus people “will be prohibited from voting.”
That’s a major overstatement of how this actually works.
Yes, the pruning process — if allowed by the courts — could potentially remove more than 200,000 people from the voting rolls before the upcoming elections. But there is no punitive element that would ban future voting. Everyone can re-register, even on Election Day.
The use of the word “prohibited,” in particular, goes too far, in that it suggests there is no way to vote in the future.
We rate Pelosi’s claim Pants on Fire.
Maybe that’s why she wore black Wednesday — hides the soot.
