Like Poe’s purloined letter, the Republican plan to heist the 2012 presidential election sits before us in plain view. And going Poe one better, it is perfectly legal.
The first part of the strategy has been unfolding for months. Since the 2010 elections brought Republicans to power in numerous swing states, officials in many of those states have made it harder for minority, poor and young voters to cast their ballots. GOP governments have been curtailing early voting (in Ohio and Florida) and requiring voters to produce official photo-identification cards (in Wisconsin). In South Carolina, the poll tax lives again: Voters who want an official photo-ID card must present a passport or a birth certificate, neither of which can be obtained for free.
it look slike the headline should read "GOP trying to make voting FAIR again!"
ReplyDeleteMore like just trying to cut down on voter fraud.
ReplyDeleteThe only voter fraud has always been in the Democrat precincts...and then there is A.C.O.R.N, They must be getting desperate.
ReplyDeleteThe Constitution defines Election Day as the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Please notice that is says Election Day, not Election Week.
ReplyDeleteagree with both. voter fraud is rampant in the cities and everyone knows it. dead people, illegals, voting more than allowed and on and on and on. finally maybe this crap will be cut down.....

That would be congress.
I thought the college was the corruption. Certainly does not matter who wins the popular vote as we have seen in Bush vs. Gore.
While I don't condone any tricky tactics to win an election, it is of paramount importance that Obama be held to one term.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't sound like a human rights violation to have to show ID to vote.Sounds like something the free state should adopt.
ReplyDelete"If you receive tax dollars you should lose the right to vote yourself more money!"
ReplyDeleteSo every business person whose company has even one federal or state contract would lose his or her vote. Nice.
Oh, I forget, they get different rules than you and me.
I'll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one.
