President Obama is issuing a new executive order on Thursday aimed at cracking down on election problems — but specifics are still scarce.

Read between the lines of the group’s mission statement, and it seems the group will be overseeing state election laws, to at least some degree.

Politico reports Mr. Obama’s order creates a new presidential commission on election body, co-chaired by two lawyers, Bob Bauer and Ben Ginsburg. Mr. Bauer served on the campaign of Mr. Obama in 2012; Mr. Ginsberg, on Mitt Romney’s campaign, Politico says.

Leave the states alone on voting rights, it's their responsibility.

The best thing Obama and the feds could do is eliminate Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act.

They don’t believe in states’ rights. It’s all the power in the federal government.

Let me guess. No voter ID. Instant registration at the polling place. Don't look too closely at the voter to see if they've been in line 5 times already because that's racist, anti-Semitic, homophobic and just plain mean. And don't ask questions about 200% voter turnout in Democratic precincts.

I really despise this bunch.

[ilovesarah2012]

I do, too. This is nothing more than ensuring more voter fraud for the dems.

FUBO

[ColdOne]

just in time for 2014 midterms.

I bet these two Obama fraudsters will be receiving 6 figures for these jobs that are not needed.

Is the title of the EO Election Theft 101?

I smell rats with this one, rats the size of blue wales.

I suspect the idea is to create a nationwide election ‘standard’, dictated by the White House leftists, but then set in concrete, with Democrats (and possibly RINOs), screaming “cheating” every time someone tries to repair the pro-Democrat, pro-RINO bias.

That's why Obama does it; he wants it to be the Federal government's responsibility.

The reason Obama stated that the Constitution is flawed is because it does not empower him to control the states. Obama sees the Constitution and the Congress as obstacles to his Marxist notions of what is best.

I no sooner posted this than my Internernet connection crashed, just got it back, sorry for delay in replies.

You're both dead on the mark. Obama mainly wants leftist control of state voting standards, it will make it much easier than it is now to control the vote outcome.
