BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: They'd be crazy not to be alarmed at this. Let's look at their turnout again. Let's get back to that. There is no enthusiasm on the Democrat side. There's no enthusiasm for Hillary, certainly.
You might be able to say there's some enthusiasm for Bernie Sanders, but it's not showing up in turnout. You might have a bunch of rabble-rousers showing up at Bernie Sanders appearances, but the turnout on the Democrat side is near record lows. That means there is no energy. There is no excitement. There is no immediacy. There's no desire to continue whatever it is Obama has done. Nobody is happy. Nobody actually wants any more of this. The Democrats campaigning have to promise more of it.
But even if you listen to Hillary and Bernie, they're ripping Obamacare. They're ripping everything that's happened here as though the Republicans are to blame for it. But they're not touting it. They are not praising any of it. They're not saying, "Elect me to continue it." They're still saying, "Elect me to fix it," after they've been in charge of whatever it is, everything, for 7-1/2 years now! So I saw this story at the Huffing and Puffington Post. I missed it originally. March 3rd: "Fewer Democrats Are Voting This Year in (Surprise!) States with Strict New Voter Laws -- But Republicans don't appear to be hurt."
It's not good for Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders. "As voting rights advocates predicted loud and often, new voter ID laws seem to be hitting Democrats harder than Republicans. GOP voter turnout in this year's presidential race is up 62% relative to 2008... But Democratic voter turnout is down by 29%..." Do you realize what that range adds to up? That adds up to 89% differential in voter turnout. "Evidence suggests that new voting restrictions are at least a contributing factor. Eight out of the 16 states that have held primaries or caucuses so far have implemented new voter ID or other restrictive voting laws since 2010."
See? You know what really is happening here? I'm sure you could figure this out. If voter ID laws are to explain for low Democrat turnout, it has to mean that the fraud and cheating has been nipped in the bud. That's all it can mean. All voter ID laws do is identify the voter and confirm the voter is who he says he is. That's all it is. Now, to the Democrat Party, that's a scandal. To the Democrat Party, that is something that they opposed. Photo IDs, official IDs of any kind, they fought them. They've gone to court over them. Why?
Because I think at the end of all of this, this country is not dominated by a majority number of Democrats. There's only one reason to oppose voter ID laws. And again, all a voter ID law is is a means by which you prove that a voter is who he or she says he is. Voter ID laws are not used to discriminate against people, but that's what the Democrats tell their voters. The Democrats say, "You can't trust these people! You go down, get your picture taken, and they're just setting you up to be put in jail," or whatever kind of scare tactic they use. It's absurd.
And yet they have gone to the end of the earth to try to stop these, and there can only be one reason why, and that is because they know they have been getting away with people voting multiple times, and they can't get away with that with voter ID requirements or laws, and the end result is that we find out there really are fewer Democrat voters than we have been led to believe by virtue of election results for years. There is no intellectual reason to oppose voter ID laws, when you have to have an ID for virtually everything else. You can't get on an airplane, for example.
You can't make a purchase with a credit card. You can't get a credit card. You can't do 90% of the things you do, that you need to do to transact business without an official ID in this country, and yet when it comes to voting, the Democrat Party says, "No, no, no! Tsk-tsk-tsk! No way." Why? There's only one possible answer. Now, I know what the Reverend Jackson says and others. They go and they panic minorities, and what they tell them is, "Don't like you dare go down there and get your photo taken! Don't you dare go down and get a photo ID!
"All they're doing is trying to find out who you are so they can deny you your welfare check. All they're trying to do is find out where you are and who you are so they can deny you pension or whatever it is," and they scared the bejeezus out of them with a crock of garbage that is all made up and lies. This is one of the simplest things to understand in the world. You need an ID to prove who you are when you vote. If a party makes a federal case opposing that, they have to be engaging in widespread fraud that official voter ID requirements would catch. So now here we are with Democrat voter turnout plummeting, coinciding with new voter ID law in a number of states.
Well, 1 + 1 = 2 here, folks.
It's not hard to understand what's happening.
END TRANSCRIPT
Early voting should always be done with an absentee ballot.
I don’t discount the possibility that the voter ID laws have something to do with it.
However, I tend to think that it’s because people just don’t like Hillary Clinton all that much, and the only excited part of the Democrat base is a bunch of kids who want free stuff, half of which can’t be motivated to put down the PlayStation controller and go vote.
Trump is drawing a lot too. That’s how he will win the general, with other strong points .
If the only votes that counted in ‘08 and ‘12 were placed by American citizens, and they voted only time each, Hussein Obama never would’ve even come close to winning the Presidency.
Precisely - O would never have won without illegals and dead folks.
This did not take the IQ of a genius to deduce.
“Panic City: Democrat Turnout Drop Coincides with Stronger Voter ID Laws”
I think Rush is misinterpreting the lack of “enthusiasm” on the RAT side. It could just be that the RATS dont see a dimes difference between Hellary and the Commie so why knock themselves out. They will vote for one or the other on election day.
What you said.
One more reason Trump will win a decent sized victory in the electoral college.
Gotta blame something.....
Republicans have to have ID’s also. I had to have not just my driver’s licence, but also two marriage licenses to prove my name change progression. It’s not enough that my driver’s license has MY picture on it, and I had to produce those same documents to get that ID, but the ID itself us useless without a porfolio of supporting documents, as well.
The point is, if republicans must have identification also, then why are their numbers going up while democrat numbers are reducing?
ID is NOT the answer to the question.
People are registering Republican to vote for Trump. Democrats are dropping out and registering republican so they can vote for Trump.
God forbid if reporters actually wrote...the truth.
Roughly 1/3 of the people attending the Trump rally I attended were former Democrats and Independents who had registered republican ...to vote for Trump. A few were voting for Cruz, but those weren’t in the rally. they were in the voting line.
Democrat turnout is down in both states that require, and states that do not require, Voter ID. So how can the headline blame voter id. sarcasm?
Given everyone has id for banks and liquor purchases and insurance and licenses and utilities and plane travel and employment verification, and getting into government buildings,
No one on the left has ever put a decent argument out as to why merely showing your id when they mark yur name on the voting roll, is discrimination, but only against non white voters.
Never have had a good argument. Never will. Because theres zero discrimination.
This country can’t survive an illiterate electorate.
0 is but a symptom of America’s fatal disease.
Dead people are being disenfranchised?
I was thinking about this last night.
The democrats forced every single American to buy a crap Obamacare plan. Their website was junk, their system was junk, the product is crap, and yet we are forced to buy it. So every American is suppose to wade through all the BS and pain and headache to get a terrible product. EVERYONE.
But a democrat voter can’t spend 15 minutes and get a free voter ID.
Democrats... Lie
It also coincides with Democrat fatigue brought about by the abject corruption of the Obama administration.
It has a whole lot more to do with candidates who SUCK!!!
That and crossovers voting Trump instead.
