Remember Republican screams of voter fraud against ACORN, put out of business, for similar violations this Republican canvasser pulled? A Republican canvasser had residents sign voter registration forms, but did not tell them what they were signing. He turned them in for the money Pepublicans paid him for each registration he got signed for the Republicans. ACORN also had a couple instances where their people were caught making up names on registrations for the rewards for filing registrations. Those names used were Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, who would never have voted. By law, even fraudulent registrations caught by the organization (signed by Mickey Mouse) must still be submitted to the registration screeners, even if the organization doing the registration drive is aware of the fraud. It is what Republicans used against ACORN to claim they engaged in voter fraud.
Now Republicans justify draconian changes to registration requirements because of this massive (1 case) fraud they committed themself. New legislation requiring State photo id's, birth certificates, gun license registrations, but dis-allowed College student picture id's will tend to affect more Democrats than Republicans from being able to vote.
Grandmothers with lost birth certificates will be barred from voting. Attaining new required id's can cost upwards of $200.00 to replace and could be considered a poll tax, which is illegal. When did that ever stop the Republican machine?
And the invalid registrations were caught at the voting locations, thus negating the need for voting law changes! The current laws are just fine and work very well.
Republican campaign tactics effectively scream they can't block Democratic votes without these new laws.
Republicans will cheat to win elections and blame Democrats for what Republicans do. It's how Republicans think apparently. If I do it, then so does the opposition. *cough*
New Republican voter ID laws do nothing to allow a registrar to discard a fake or invalid "voter registration" form. So what did they accomplish?
It would appear Republicans just want to inhibit students, and mostly poor and sick opposition voters from poor neighborhoods from voting for the Democrats. Many of these folks cannot afford a photo id, or may have lost their original birth certificate and can't afford to get a new one. That is the real reason. There is no doubt about it. It's what Republicans do. They have no empathy for the poor, or the sick, or for anyone disagreeing with them on anything, anytime, anywhere. Republicans will stack the deck against the opposition with Billions from corporate backers and laws to diminish opposition voters and make agreements to not allow voting machines be checked because of proprietary laws. We cannot know if they were designed to kick out Democratic voters or not.
Walker woud look Good in orange. The People of Wisconsin worked hard to get this recall, but some still voted for him. Why????? There might be more to it. Keep the investigation going. Why does a sitting Governor set up a Civil Defense???? Way to go Democrates you got the Senate majority , keep Walkers hands tied. And come Novemeber add some more Democrates to the list. Thank You all that put so much into this Recall, America is awake thaks to you.jay9n
I am starting to think that the cases in Miami, USA and Canada are related.
I hope the authorities are smart enough to have a biopsy done to check for a prion infection. Also there was a madman in Warwick ,RI last night that stripped naked, ran around making primal screams in the RI Mall, eventaully swam across the river, ran across 295 until getting caught and is now at a Mental hospital for observation. I think that's a rabies type symptom too.
I agree, I think all people who perish from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease should should be tested. It makes sense. Who knows, maybe Prion infections are responsible.
I think we have a lot more to worry about in the election fraud department than voter fraud. No paper trail, machines that get hacked... You can't very well expect people to get out the vote, if the vote they cast might not ever be counted.
Thanks so much for your wonderful work and responses to the comments in this post. It is disheartening to see how many people do not use facts and reasoning to form their opinions.
