Voters, Beware: Creative Voter Fraud Grows, California Woman Nearly Scammed into Giving Up Her Voting Rights (video)
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on January 8, 2012
Democrats and liberal lobbyist groups are revving up the racist smear machine against Republicans, declaring that requiring identification to vote is meant to suppress and prevent minorities from voting, that voter fraud is a concocted lie.
No, it isn’t — on all counts.
Only ID for voting is a hot-button issue with Democrats. There are no concerns, outrage, or assertions from liberals that requiring ID also “unfairly” targets and prevents minorities from getting a driver’s license, checking out a library book, cashing a check, boarding an airplane, entering some government buildings, buying alcohol, legally entering the country, or any other of a gazillion circumstances where proof of identification is, more often than not, required. Bizarrely, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, ID must be presented to panhandle.
In a WyBlog post this weekend, I learned that in Illinois, Obama’s old stomping grounds and one of the liberal hotbeds in the nation, you now have to produce photo ID to buy drain cleaner. I kid you not.
Despite liberals’ empty claims, the rampant fraud is already underway — in November, underaged kids were bribed with cigarettes during an Occupy movement rally to sign petitions to recall Gov. Scott Walker. One liberal voter told reporters that he had signed about 80 petitions to recall the governor. This past summer, radical liberal group ACORN was found guilty of voter registration fraud in Nevada — and guilty of fraud in other states — and was given the maximum fine.
Thousands upon thousands of bogus voter registrations in 2010 were turned in by Mi Familia Vota, another liberal organization — states affected included New Jersey, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Nevada, and North Carolina.
Voter fraud and voter registration fraud are becoming even more creative and insidious across the country — this was reported in Stockton, California yesterday when a woman was nearly fooled into signing a petition to relinquish her voting rights that was presented to her by two young black men.
This piece was written last week by Tom Donelson, the chairman of Americas PAC, at Texas GOP on our nation’s growing voter fraud problem:
Why would the Obama Administration or the Justice Department be up in arms over the insistence that a voter have an ID to prove that they are who they say they are? The answer is simple and two fold. The first is that the left and a good portion of the Democratic Party understand the enormity of this election and want to be able to win at all costs, including cheating. The second is to heighten racial tension with the goal of increasing minority turnout with the theme; those evil Republicans want to deny your right to vote and are attempting voter suppression.
The facts and common sense says otherwise, and with the increasing number of voter fraud cases popping up, along with solid documentation by scholar Larry Sabato and writer John Fund to show that voter fraud is real, there is no question that the integrity of the ballot box is under assault. Nor are Republicans the only one concerned as many Democrats have realized that the sanctity of the ballot box is a necessity to ensure faith in the process and that every vote counted is a legal vote.
An overwhelming Democratic majority in Rhode Island passed a voter ID law, and as one Black legislator who supported the law noted, it was about doing the right thing. While the leadership of many minority organizations are fighting ID laws, there are enough Black and Hispanic legislators who understand that the precincts most negatively affected by fraudulent ballots are minority precincts. The first myth to put to rest is that this is a Republican plot, but point out that there are many Democrats and liberals who understand that voting fraud denies, not just legitimacy to the election process, but devalues the vote of legal voters. The attempt by the left to turn this into a major human right crisis not only devalues the ballot box but undermine the democratic process itself.
The second myth is that voter ID will restrict voter turnout among minorities, but the opposite has happened. Southern States like Georgia and Mississippi along with Midwestern States like Indiana have seen minority voter turnout both in real terms as well as percentage of the voter population increase significantly after Voter ID laws came into effect. The reason is for there were issues and candidates that led minorities to vote and in politics, issues and candidates are the driving point for voter turnout just as economic concerns led to an increased turnout among conservative and Tea Party voters in the 2010 midterm elections. Many minorities increased their voter turnout in 2008 as they proved decisive in Obama’s victory.
