Secure votes
Slowly, the battle over voter ID is getting media attention. This is good news as it also showcases some of the dirty tricks that the Dems are willing to use in order to cheat.
"Hearne said he was inspired to delve into the details of election law after 2000, when on election day he found himself in court arguing against a move by Democrats to delay the closing of some St. Louis polling sites.
"They were arguing for a plaintiff who wound up to be dead. It was a fiction," he said. "I thought I had walked into a John Grisham novel."
Weeks later, Hearne joined GOP lawyers in Broward County, Fla., examining dimpled chads and other disputed ballots in the presidential contest.Hearne said he did not coordinate with the Republican Party, and he vigorously denied that his goal was to suppress Democratic votes."
It has been argued that in this day of free state issued photo ID, the Democrats argument that this is a "burdensome" requirement that equates to a modern day "poll tax" lack merit. However, what bothers me is this;
"The chief sponsor of Georgia’s voter identification law told the Justice Department that if black people in her district “are not paid to vote, they don’t go to the polls,” and that if fewer blacks vote as a result of the new law, it is only because it would end such voting fraud." (emphasis in the original).
Excuse me???? If they don't get paid to vote, they don't vote? The stunning thing (to me) is that a) the sponsor of the Georgia Voter ID bill actually said this and b) that the Dems are actually excusing this! I'm sorry, but paying people to vote is ILLEGAL already!
The argument that requiring voters to show proof of their residency is burdensome is ludicrous! They have to show ID to collect and cash welfare and unemployment checks. No one calls that requirement burdensome.
Voter ID is an idea whose time has come. Those who fight it do so at their own peril. For why would you want to fight elections where cheating doesn't happen....unless you are the ones benefitting from the cheating...
