This is why we need a National Voter ID like they have in Mexico. It identifies, down to the precinct level, where you are allowed to vote.
At least once.
Anti-constitutional republic, Progressive Movement-inspired state winner-take-all laws for electoral votes, such laws unconstitutional under the 12th Amendment (12A) imo, could nullify all the cheating voter’s multiple state votes. So much for Democratic "all votes count" mantra.
Excerpted from the 12th Amendment: "The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice- President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate [emphasis added]; …"
Also, not only does 12A not limit the ballot choices of presidential electors to candidates nominated by the constitutionally undefined political parties, but the states would first have to get the consent of Congress before they agree to limit presidential candidate choices on their ballots to the nominees of the political parties imo, something that the states have never done.
Excerpted from the 12th Amendment: "The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President [emphasis added], and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice- President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate; […]"
"Article I, Section 10, Clause 3: No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State [emphasis added], or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay."
Let's also consider major constitutional problems with the politically correct power of ordinary citizens to vote for president of the constitutionally limited power federal government.
Although ordinary qualified citizens have the express constitutional power to vote for members of Congress, it remains that the states have never expressly constitutionally given citizens the express constitutional power to vote for POTUS.
In other words, so-called citizen power to elect a POTUS that actually has very limited constitutional power to define domestic policy is as phony as the politically correct rights protected by the unconstitutional Civil Rights Act of 1964 and its associated titles imo, corrupt career lawmakers making that act mainly to remain career lawmakers imo.
In fact, consider that since one of the very few powers that the states have expressly constitutionally given the feds to dictate domestic policy is to run the US Mail Service (1.8.7), most domestic policy of the unconstitutionally big federal government based on stolen state powers, the key question regarding the need for political parties is how many parties does it take to run the mail service?
I say none, no political parties required.
Are we having fun yet? =^P
Democratic Party (include RINOs) + 17th Amendment = judicial tyranny
Remember in November 2020!
MAGA! Now KAG! (Keep America Great!)
"The “Holy Grail” of organized crime is to control government power to tax." —me
"The 16th Amendment effectively repealed the involuntary servitude aspect of the 13th Amendment imo, evidenced by unconstitutional federal taxes." —me
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"13th Amendment, Section 1:
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude [emphasis added], except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
"16th Amendment:
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
"The constitutionally undefined political parties are basically rival, corrupt voter unions, “union dues” paid by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.” —me
"The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." —me
"Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most appropriations laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." —me
In our last election I learned that Marion County (Indianapolis) voters could vote at any precinct. You did not have to vote where you normally do. Not sure about the rest of the state.
Now I can understand the reasoning, allowing a parent to vote near their chid’s school, or one’s place of work, etc.
Put I can also see HUGE potential for abuse if the rolls are not cleaned up.
Had forgotten about that. Souter retired very young and very unexpectedly for a Supreme Court Justice.
If he was bent on retirement, why not do it a year or so earlier and let GW Bush appointee a successor.
One of the many strange and inexplicable Obama Era events
Bump!
As usual, this has the fingerprints of Democrat Federal judges all over it.
First, Common Cause judge-shopped for a ClownBammy district judge [Tanya Walton Pratt, appointed by 0bama in 2010 (95-0)].
Pratt made the original preliminary injunction ruling halting Indiana voter roll cleanup effort:
https://www.brennancenter.org/sites/default/files/legal-work/18-2492%20Appeal.pdf
Then it got appealed to the Seventh Circuit - into the hands of Rapin Bill appointee and chief judge of the circuit, Diane Wood.
Wood joined with a Trump appointee (his confirmation vote in the Senate was 49-46!!!), Michael Brennan [who has apparently "grown" in office, as the Left would say] to thwart Indiana in its voter roll cleanup effort:

It appears as though the third judge, Amy St. Eve [another Trump appointee (91-0)], dissented, but left no written dissent on the opinion.

We dodged a bullet there.
ClownBammy considered her as a replacement for both David Souter and John Paul Stevens.
She's a hard-Left Democrat ideologue who "is known for building consensus on the court and rallying other judges around her positions". Probably what happened to Brennan here.
Ed Whelan [National Review and one of the heroes of the Kavanaugh confirmation wars] did a number of articles on her back in 2009 when she was up for Souter's slot.
https://www.nationalreview.com/bench-memos/supreme-court-candidate-diane-wood-summary-ed-whelan/
She's Lefty Democrat scum of the worst stripe.
As Whelan points out:
No judge whom I’m aware of is more extreme than Wood on abortion. Her defiance of the Supreme Court’s mandate in NOW v. Scheidler (and her incurring successive 8-1 and 8-0 reversals by the Court) ought alone to be disqualifying [for appointment to the Supreme Court].
Thanks kiryandil, I suspected as much but didn't take the time to confirm it.
As one way communist still running America through the court system.
Americans need to remember and/or learn that federal courts, authorized by the Constitution, are for the purpose of resolving INDIVIDUAL CASES AND CONTROVERSIES and their decisions, even if constitutional, reaches only a far as the parties involved (U.S. Const., Art. III, Sec 2).
Federal courts are the Judicial Branch and the scope of their decisions, if constitutional, are limited to individual cases. Federal courts are NOT the Legislative branch and DO NOT make national law. Only Congress can make national law (Id. Art 1, Sec 1).
America, we NEED to get back to the Constitution as the Supreme Law of the Land over the Federal Government which includes federal judges and courts.
So, Republicans should register in vulnerable house districts in the 7th District. Then vote in their home state or the other where their vote maybe more useful in kicking out a Dem House member. If it’s ok to be registered in two states, let’s do it. If enough people did that, she might regret her decision
Some of America’s robed mullahs are as tyrannical as the middle eastern screwballs. Our socialist scumbags will have to take a backseat to nearly 1400 years of sharia law. Sharia wannabes. Off with their heads ‘hammedans. Culture appropriators. All robe, no scimitar.
Can the FEDS legally do this?
I've always thought that how states run THEIR elections are THEIR business?
It is almost as convoluted as this!
The Founding Fathers would’ve been taking care of this in the only manner that works.
