Top Dem: Colorado losses due to ´voter suppression, pure and simple´
The Hill ^ | 9/11/13 | Jonathan Easley

Successful recall elections Tuesday of two Democratic state senators in Colorado were because of “voter suppression, pure and simple,” Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said Wednesday. Wasserman Schultz blamed lawsuits filed by opponents of gun control to prevent voters from mailing in ballots, the late announcement of polling locations, and “efforts by the NRA, the Koch brothers and other right wing groups who know that when more people vote, Democrats win.” “The recall elections in Colorado were defined by the vast array of obstacles that special interests threw in the way of voters for the purpose of reversing

Mayo-head thinks illegals, demo-ghosts, zombies and other Undead should vote: early and often.
This was a shot across the bow for the gun-grabbers.

The Republican Party opposed the recalls, says a lot.

For all of the upsides of this result, the major downside is that we are now looking at a Scorched Earth Battle of recall elections in every state where they are possible.

I thought they were reporting turnout at “presidential election” levels?

I heard that there were some districts that were higher than presidential election levels. Some, heavily democrat.

Indeed—There was fraud, corruption, and vote suppression.

But the DIMS lost anyway.

Rules for radicals - accuse the enemy of doing what you are doing. The lawsuits were filed by democrats and libertarians, not republicans. in fact, the republican party in Colorado was against the recalls!

The RNC in Colorado is practically the DNC....

Only the dead. The live not so much.

Actually in Pueblo there were over 30,000 votes, or 1/4 of the population. Pretty good for an election with “voter suppression”.

Lib Response: 75% didn’t VOTE, VOTER SUPPRESSION!!!!

Voter suppression is the weak minded excuse for getting there butts handed to them.

She a fine one to talk about the will of the people. The majority don't and didn't want Obamacare and we are still getting it.

Debbie, go twerk somewhere else

So then she is FOR voter ID. Right?

Yeah, right.

To a demonicrat, combating voter suppression means preventing service members from voting.

Im my opinion every damn voting booth should have a fingerprint scanner and camera in it. Every time you cast a vote before it registers your picture should be taken, your drivers license or state provided ID card should be scanned and your fingerprint taken.

Then after the votes are counted those that don’t match should be thrown the hell out and the people who fraudulently voted be found and arrested for treason.

Also cross reference the fingerprint info against a damned ICE database and those tossed out as well.

Basically if you fingerprint doesn’t match the Drivers License/ID card an investigation is done.

Also have a system of “voter verification” where you have an option of having your vote choices mailed back to you and if the votes are not the way you wanted them you may go back and contest them/start an investigation of fraud against anyone who may have stolen your vote.

She's right. The dems lost Colorado because their voter suppression, cheating and intimidation DIDN'T WORK.
