Who could possibly be against cutting voter fraud on election day?

When Georgia's Republican Governor Sonny Perdue recently signed a bill to reduce voter fraud, under which voters must show a photo ID before casting their ballots, many of Georgia's black legislators stormed out in protest.  They even threatened to sue, saying it will keep legitimate voters from being able to cast their ballot.  The wife and son of Martin Luther King Jr. joined Democratic speakers Monday at the Martin Luther King ceremony in condemning the bill.

And in Wisconsin, Democratic Governor Jim Doyle vetoed a bill that would have required voters to show government-issued picture identification at the polls, saying it would disenfranchise elderly voters.

And in Indiana the Democratic party asked a federal judge to overturn a new state law, signed by Governor Mitch Daniels, that requires voters to show a photo ID.  Those who do not have a driver's license and can't afford to pay for a state identification card can be issued a state ID for free.  The ACLU jumped right on board, suing to overturn the voter identification law.

And in California, a bill that would have required voters to present identification when they vote has been killed in the Democratic controlled legislature.  Since 2001, Republicans have introduced 11 bills addressing voter fraud, and each has suffered a fate similar to that met by the Voter ID bill.

And in Arizona, Governor Janet Napolitano vetoed legislation to bar some people who show up at the polls without identification from voting.   Napolitano said the measure is illegal because it violates the federal Help America Vote Act.

Which brings us to the Count Every Vote Act of 2005, which Hillary  Clinton introduced in February, along with California Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer.  This bill might be accurately described as the most wide-ranging assault ever on the idea that there should be minimum enforceable standards for voters.  Anyone can show up on Election Day, register and vote with no social security number or photo ID.  Election officials would have no way of knowing whether that person was eligible to vote or not.  All Hillary would require is that the person “affirm” that he or she is eligible to vote.

The Count Every Vote Act of 2005 would also require states to allow anyone to cast a provisional vote anywhere in a state, no questions asked. The number of provisional votes one might cast would be limited only by the number of polling places that could be visited in a day.

Who could possibly be against cutting voter fraud on election day? The Democratic Party, that's who. They actually want to introduce measures to increase fraud and confusion, based on the belief that any problems during the election process benefit the Democratic Party.

I grew up in Boston where the election day battle cry of "vote early and vote often" was much more than a joke and the first Tuesday of November was a day when the dead walked, and also voted.  But the Democrats are now laying the foundation of an electoral process that would favor them if they won and allow them to challenge the outcome if they lost.

This should not stand.  I now live in Florida where every voter must present a photo id to vote and look at all the problems there have been here anyway.  Just imagine the election day chaos if Hillary and the other Democratic nutjobs get their way and open the election process to a free for all. 

Under the provisions in Hillary's bill you don’t even have to show that you’re an American citizen. You go right down to that polling place, tell them you want to register, on the spot, and vote.  And if anybody questions you, tell them "we don' need no steenking badges" or prior registration or  photo ID or proof of citizenship or anything else.  Hillary Clinton said so.
