Whats that tell us?
Crook County, IL would go NUTZ!!!!
Because they are the party of no?
...
When he disbanded his voting commission, he said he would turn the issue over to the “proper authorities.” Hmmmm....
>>>But why did Republican states refuse?
Many states have laws preventing the sharing of some voter information. Evenn Commission Chair Kobach did not turn over all the information requested, as Kansas law prevents the sharing of a voter’s last 4 digits of the social security number.
Voter Fraud: The most pressing issue in America. The democrat party ace in the hole for most state and federal elections.
Many (if not most or all) of those states refused to hand over certain data because their state law prevents them from doing so.
I’ve voted in both No. and SoCal. The precincts look like a UN meeting yet nobody is asked for ID. Literally anybody could vote with a “name” and “address”. Ditto for Driver License office where they hand out voter registration forms like popcorn.
As for previous voter fraud, that horse has left the barn. The thing to do now is ensure through various means that it won’t happen next time, such as voter ID and finger dye.
American soldiers have died in Iraq to ensure democratic and fair elections and finger dye is used.
Here’s my chicken-and-egg theoretical scenario for opposing Voter ID.
If I, as a free, sovereign individual, wish to vote to abolish government - an officeholder, an office, a department, an agency, an entire branch, an entire government entity (eg a county commission) - should I be obliged to use an identity document that same government may have issued? Is it even possible to do so? And what if my vote succeeds?
Obviously the government in question has a vested interest in protecting and perpetuating itself so they are quite unlikely to allow documents they have issued to be used as one of the instruments of their abolition.
Now...as a practical matter, ID is the best, and possibly the only, way to currently separate the wheat from the chaff. As we have seen, demands for government ID are made everywhere from employment applications to buying a six pack of beer therefore claims of a lack of government ID or claims of the difficulty in obtaining a government ID are specious at best.
Amazon can sell, ship and deliver a bicycle or a pair of shoes overnight. Credit agencies can compile and track millions of transactions as well as detect fraud. Airlines fly a thousand times a day. All of these entities must do these jobs successfully in terms of end-user satisfaction in order to do it again tomorrow, next week and next year.
In contrast, government can confiscate the wealth of its citizens in order to fund its activities but cannot, despite constitutionally-stipulated offices like secretary of state and a plethora of underlings, manage to stage free, convenient, efficient and, most of all, FAIR elections several times per year or, in more important races, every 2, 4 or 6 years. Imagine if they held the Masters and Augusta National had allowed all the grass to die beforehand. Imagine the Indy 500 with no fuel at the pumps. Elections are a core function of government in terms of forming a government yet government is horrible at it.
Equally bad are the excuses. Too many paper ballots. Not enough paper ballots. Short of volunteers. Technical problems with voting machines. User unfamiliarity with voting machines. For some reason they expect sympathy for their utter incompetence and failure. And then there is the temptation of fiddling the numbers - something we have seen repeatedly.
And so, the ‘initial sort’ of validating votes via Voter ID is not perfect but it’s all we have thanks to corruption and bureaucracy. The volume of protests against such mild deterrent should tell us all we need to know about the motive of the protests.
Can anyone explain to me how requiring an ID at the ballot box is racist? I’ve never understood this argument. It is prima facie a stupid one.
Voter ID needs to be a Constitutional Amendment or else the traitorous left will repeal it.
This is a sticky wicket, is the fed going to control the “fairness’ of elections?
I am not comfortable with that.
A federal voter ID that requires proof of citizenship and periodic renewal to vote in federal elections would help things. IMO.
People who care will have to go through the hoops, those that find it to be too much of a bother should probably stay home anyway.
I hear the dems howling already. AAAAaaaaaarrrrrooooooowwwwwwooooo!
Slighty off topic. I stopped at my county’s Board of Elections to have my Mom’s name removed from the rolls as she recently passed away. The lady I spoke with had just done it earlier today as a result of notification from the Ohio Secretary of State’s office. I was so glad to hear they are on top of things here.
Now she is only eligible to vote in Chicago since she drove through there once before.....
Voter ID is only a partial fix for this problem, although it would go a long way.
Purging inaccurate voter rolls, auditing elections at random, and instituting professional election administration is the way to proceed.
The individual few “GOP” states that refused, did, that I Bet, to keep thier RINOs.
“You will know them by their acts.”
