Republicans target minor parties after election losses
Quoted Text
Republican legislators and political activists in several red states are taking steps to make it harder for minor party candidates to make the ballot after a string of elections Democrats won with less than 50 percent of the vote.
Quoted Text
The Ohio legislature voted earlier this week to require minor parties to collect signatures of 1 percent of the number of voters who cast ballots in the last gubernatorial or presidential election. Libertarians and Green Party members complain that the rule — which would require them to gather about 56,000 signatures to make the 2014 ballot — sets an impossibly high standard.

All you hear from the Rabid Right is "VOTER FRAUD". The facts? It doesn't exist!

Iowa Republican’s 2-year investigation finds no statistically significant evidence of voter fraud. Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz (R) has spent 18 months and almost $150,000 fulfilling his promise to make “ballot security” a top priority in Iowa.
To date, his investigation has yielded 5 guilty pleas and 5 dismissals.
Examples of found "voter fraud" :
Quoted Text
One woman, Beth Ann Gallagher, cast an absentee ballot on behalf of her daughter, who had recently moved to Minnesota and thought she wouldn’t be eligible to vote there. However, after she mailed the ballot, her daughter texted her that she had been eligible to vote, at which time Gallagher self-reported the incident to the Delaware County auditor’s office. She plead guilty and paid a $147.75 fine.

A man, Terry Hambrick, registered via the Motor Voter Act while attempting to steal his dead brother’s identity. Hambrick was trying to acquire a driver’s license under the name of a brother who had died of sudden infant death syndrome in 1991, and accidentally registered to vote. He was caught not by Schultz’s probe, but after he was arrested for drunk driving and law enforcement officials determined that he was, in fact, Terry Hambrick.

Jason Rawlin, a felon, was attempting to acquire a nonoperator ID card, he registered to vote without realizing that he attested to not being a felon. When he received a voter card in the mail, he self-reported to authorities . Schultz initially charged Rawlin with felony election misconduct, but he ultimately plead guilty to misdemeanor fraudulent practices.
Quoted Text
The two other guilty pleas were also from convicted felons, neither of whom knew that their voting rights had not been restored.

"A state court judge on Friday struck down a Pennsylvania law requiring that voters to show photo identification at the polls," the AP reports.
"This is a clear victory for opponents of voter id laws, with a finding that the implementation of the voter id law violated the law's own promise of liberal access to voter id, that the implementation exceeded the agency's authority to administer the program, that the voter education efforts were woefully inadequate, and that as a whole the Pa. voter id program violated the Pa. constitutional's fundamental right to vote.

this is a waste of breath....through the 'debacle' at target and other retailers with 'purchasing ID cards', we call them credit/debit cards, there will be a new tech 'safeguard' called purchase ID that will be 'bio protected'....if we can be followed via our cell phones we can be ID'd at the voting booth/room etc........
voter ID is a red herring that will be touted as 'THE ONLY PRIVATE AND HONEST SYSTEM WE MUST PROTECT AT ALL COSTS'...
you see...there are MANY prongs in the fork of the machine....
put a fork in us....WE'RE DONE AS WE KNOW IT TODAY....
pay attention to the REAL movement
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, ADMITS VOTER FRAUD!!!
In an interview with the website RightWingNews.com, Wisconsin’s Gov. Scott Walker claimed that as a young Republican, he voted for former President Ronald Reagan. Walker was promoting his new book, "Unintimidated: A Governor’s Story and a Nation’s Challenge."
“I remember, I was a teenager, had just become a teenager and voted for Ronald Reagan — limited government, you know, smaller government, lower taxes, strong national defense,” Walker said.
Walker is 46 years old, born on Nov. 2, 1967. On Election Day of 1980, he was 13 years old and in 1984, he was just 17 and not old enough to legally vote.

That's why we need all voters to produce photo ID to prevent this from happening.
voting booths will be scanning your retina....no need to sign in and soon no need to get to a 'voting machine'.... do it on your phone with an app.....
that's much more secure and less of a hassle....
we're ZOOMING along to the future 'Minority Report'.....
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

There is the race card again in this story, apparently only white people own cars or legs, and only rich white people can get ID's. I hope minorities and the lower income see this for what it really is and that is fear tactics by the left, they openly admit in this story that they are to lazy to go out and get a ID and are to lazy to get to a voting station without a vehicle. Even in colonial times when there really were restrictions on voting based on race and religion and wealth those who could vote had to travel sometimes up to 5 days on horseback to cast their votes, kinda puts things into perspective when the left cry about people making a hour walk to make it to a voting booth.

Wrong if you are of this country legally you should be allowed to vote and that is what we have today. Pushing these stories you should be ashamed, you are openly calling minorities and the low income lazy.

Here is a voter who was "purged" from his right to vote. He's neither a minority or lazy.
