And they’ve already uncovered election fraud for this go around. Vote early, vote often. And get your felons to vote too while you’re at it. Voter ID laws are necessary to protect the citizens of this country. The Democrats cry and whine whenever it’s brought up because they’ll lose votes from those that are ineligible to vote if ID is required.
More 2008 Election Fraud Uncovered
In a case that illustrates the need for stricter laws to clean up the election process, nearly a dozen convicted felons have been charged with voter fraud for lying on registration forms during the 2008 presidential campaign.
The crimes took place in Virginia, where ironically Democratic lawmakers opposing a voter ID law recently contended there was no evidence of election fraud in their state. Like their party’s national leaders and other assorted liberals, Virginia Dems claim such measures discriminate against minorities.
For instance, the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, refers to voter ID laws as a “full-scale assault” on minority voters designed to “rig” elections for Republicans. This absurd theory is based on the fact that minorities are either too poor or too ignorant to get a valid identification—provided free in many of the states that have passed voter ID laws—that proves they are who they claim to be. This will prevent a chunk of citizens that would normally vote Democrat to cast ballots, the thinking goes.
That’s why the Department of Justice DOJ, the president’s political tool, is challenging voter ID laws—like one already upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court—around the country. Eight stateshave strict laws that require a voter to provide picture identification in order to cast a ballot. All but two of the states—Georgia and Indiana—passed their measures in 2011. Currently, the DOJ is pursuing discrimination probes against ID laws in Kansas, Wisconsin, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Mississippi.
