Wednesday, Oct. 27, 2004 Democrats Mad: Non-citizens Can't Vote in Florida
The Democrats' election-stealing playbook calls for counting every illegal "vote," but a federal judge in Florida has issued a ruling against them and for fair elections.
More than 10,000 foreigners, and people too stupid to check a box on the registration form indicating that they were American citizens, won't get to help decide the election Tuesday, thanks to U.S. District Judge James Lawrence King in Miami.
Democrats, Big Labor's AFL-CIO and other left-wing groups had sued elections officials in Democrat-run Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties and elsewhere, but the King's ruling Tuesday noted that people had to take responsibility for completing the simple forms and could not blame elections supervisors.
"I don't think the federal and state requirements, which are in place to prevent voter fraud, are unreasonable," Ed Pozzuoli, a lawyer for the Broward Republican Party, told the Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel. Illegal voters "dilute" votes cast by legitimate voters, he noted.
Alia Faraj of the Florida Department of State noted: "It's an anti-fraud measure. It's to protect the voter. It's the law, and we stand by that."
Pro-Kerry groups grumbled that the ruling would exclude more than 14,000 (illegitimate) voters. Hooray!
Damn it! Why aren't the judges allowing the Democrats to break election laws!
DISENFRENCHFRIEMENT!!!
Democrats Mad: Cadavers can't vote...
BTTT
The refusal to take responsibility by your typical RAT permeates everything they do.
The RATS are disgusting.
Check out the tortured syntax that has to be used in this sort of nonsense:
"... count new voter registrations as valid, even when a voter did not check a box on mail in registration forms indicating they are a U.S. citizen."
It's not "a" box, it's THE box, folks. One implies a minor, inconsequential oversight, the other is THE salient point to begin with. AND - they aren't "a voter" until it is proved said person is deemed a legal citizen to start. But in order for claims of "disenfranchisement" the implication has to be laid that said individual is legitimate, which is not the case. They are properly termed "registrants" or somesuch, not voters. "Voters" is not equal to "Citizens" folks - something they wish to obfuscate a priori.
Sure, but can't these unregisterd still vote a provisional ballot. I think in Ohio one thing HAS been ruled in the demons favor where if they have to go through these ballots later on if its real close, then they can actually count the ones where they find that the voter wasn't registered, but was indeed "eligible" in every way. Still, if they are actually in the country illegally, I hope they wouldn't find some argument that they should somehow count anyway. Sorta like the crazy driver's license and in-state tuition argument. I wouldn't put it past em.
The local news shows covered this story in a very different manner.
It was not foreigners but mostly African-American voters who did not check the citizen box. These applicants signed under the penalty of perjury that they were US citizens on one page of the application, but forgot to check the US citizen box on another page.
It was presented as a "straining a gnat" situation designed by Republicans to disenfranchise African-American voters.
Desperation central!
If a person cannot take the time to properly fill out a simple voter registration form correctly, that individual is NOT a registered voter and cannot vote. What do the DemonRATS not understand about this fact? Or do they know that only mentally impaired individuals will vote for DemonRATS?
No problem there, the cadavers are already properly registered democrats.
Suggestion: Everyone should take one of those cheap throwaway cameras with them to the polls and actually take or pretend to take pictures of the commies standing around with demonrat signs. Then inform them you're turning their picture over to your State Attorney General. Should be great fun! Get em all lathered up
someone pass those poor little babies some friggin' kleenex.
Democrats Mad: Non-citizens Can't Vote in FloridaThe next sound you hear is that of Liberal heads exploding!
To ALL Freepers and Lurker voters:
GO to the polls and vote for Bush. Take your friends with you to do the same. If you know any Zell Miller type Democrats that support Bush and they are voting for him, take them as well.
Vote EARLY to avoid the rush. If you wait until November 2nd, make SURE to go and vote!! And if you do wait until November 2nd, remember:
IGNORE ANYTHING IN THE MEDIA YOU HEAR (i.e., making a fast, early call in Florida for Kerry, etc.). THE FLORIDA ELECTION DEBACLE OF 2000 CAN AVOID A REPEAT THIS YEAR IF GOP TURNOUT IS STRONG, imho.
Thank GOD Katherine Harris left behind a powerful legacy.
I heard a clip of Hillary (over the weekend, I think) complaining because the Florida Secretary of State was denying ballots to people "who simply forgot to check off the citizen box."
Ha, ha, ha, like it was an inconsequential oversight on the voters' part!
My daughter registered to vote for the first time 2 weeks ago (today is her 18th birthday!) and that little box is highlighted all over the form!
Sorry Hillary, crossing your fingers didn't help this time.
Pinz
NEW POLL JUST IN!!!!
The dead are for Kerry 3 to 1!!!!
I live 20mi south Of Tampa. Work in Tampa. Voted Monday, took over an hour. I was wondering where the "conveince" was.
I have some liberal coworkers and they are all up in arms over this issue. They despise me :)
Maybe it's the huge BUSH/CHENEY poster on my wall.
