SPECIAL
POST
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, a
Republican, vetoed election law bills pushed by Republican legislators seeking
to require a ballot box affirmation of citizenship, restrict voter registration
drives, and require photo ID for obtaining an absentee ballot. Last week a Florida
federal district court judge ruled against the Justice Department’s motion for
a temporary injunction against the state’s voter purge. The ruling was widely
portrayed as a victory for the state by Florida Governor Rick Scott and many in
the media. Florida has been trying to
purge its voter registration files of dead people and illegal immigrants.
All across the country, states are faced
with dead people, prisoners and illegals signed up to vote. The door is wide open in many jurisdictions
for people to vote in more than once precinct, thereby being able to cast
multiple votes. Problems initiated by the
now defunct ACORN persist.
Yet, when state governments try to
correct the problems and to minimize the potential for massive voter fraud, the
Department of Justice is quick to respond, claiming that such efforts will
disenfranchise minorities from being able to vote.President Obama and Attorney General Holder are adamantly opposed to any effort to require any voter identification.
All
this hyperbole is nothing more than a cleverly disguised attempt to stuff the
ballot box in November. It is a
violation of my American voting right. It is an "in your face, I don't care what your rights are" challenge to try and do something about it. It is akin to a front-end proclamation that this will be a wide-open election, just like the ones they have in South America, North Korea and Iran. Further, as it stands right now no state has time enough left to fight the battle in the
courts before the November election.
We
need to be vigilant. We need to be
informed. We need to raise hell with Congress and demand a fair election process
and we need to do that now. I’m sick
and tired of the B.S. and spin. This is OUR country they’re ruining.
That’s
MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
