This is a Gannett article so I can't post even an except of this. Normally I wouldn't post even a link, but vote fraud is a major issue.

I wish I knew what organization this was. If it's based in Ann Arbor and Lansing, it's most likely a leftist group.

Meridian Township borders East Lansing to the east. It leans slightly democrat. Okemos is dem while Haslett is competitive. Okemos has a large student population as well as state workers and MSU employees.

Leftist group? In Ann Arbor or Lansing? Gee, hard to believe... ;')

Please Pass Emergency Anti-Vote Fraud Measure Immediately!

Vote fraud threatens the very core of our republic, and it directly threatens our sovereignty

Please send the following message to your Congressmen and Senators:

Please pass, on an expedited basis, emergency legislation to require voters to show ID at all polling places on Election Day.

Vote fraud threatens the very core of our republic, and it directly threatens our sovereignty. There is a significant amount of evidence emerging that evinces a wide-spread plot to engage in massive voter fraud. Thus, Congress must take immediate action to counter this potential menace.

Congress has the express power to dictate the time, place, and manner in which federal elections are held. The congressional power to make or alter time, place, or manner of federal elections extends to the regulation of voter registration. Federal regulation of the electoral processes, including the regulation of federal voter registration, is also consistent with the Tenth Amendment and permissible; although states do have broad discretion to enact and implement registration procedures, states may not transgress the Constitution. It follows that state voter registration and Election Day statutes that are inconsistent with federal voter registration and Election Day mandates are preempted.

As per the Federal Court in Byrd v. Brice, the government may require a voter to furnish proof of identity at the polling place on Election Day. Such a measure would go a long way in protecting citizens’ federal voting rights from fraudulent practices.

Please set to work immediately on enacting emergency legislation to require a valid ID at the polling places on Election Day.

Thumbprint identification system might be best. Of course, the ACLU would file against that, claiming it undermined the ability of people on the run from the law to vote. What a hardship! ;')
