April 11, 2014, 04:52 pm Obama decries ‘bogus’ voter fraud complaints
By Justin Sink
President Obama labeled complaints about voter fraud “bogus” and accused Republicans of cynically trying to prevent Americans from accessing the polls in a fiery speech Friday at a civil rights forum hosted by Al Sharpton.
Obama argued that attempts in some states to impose new voter identification restrictions were actually efforts by Republicans to make “it harder, not easier to vote.” And the president said that while voter fraud should be prevented, it rarely occurred.
“So let's be clear, the real voter fraud is the people who try to deny our rights by making bogus arguments about voter fraud,” Obama said.
Obama sad that the efforts betrayed a weakness within the Republican Party, saying his opposition needed to restrict poll access to remain competitive.
“If your strategy depends on fewer people showing up to vote, that's not a sign of strength, it's a sign of weakness,” Obama said.
“What kind of political platform is that?” he added. “Why would you make that part of your agenda, preventing people from voting?”
Obama called on Congress to pass an updated formula that would restore a central provision of the Voting Rights Act.
Last year, the Supreme Court gutted a part of the historic civil rights legislation that required certain jurisdictions with a history of discrimination to clear changes in voting procedures with the federal government.
The court said Congress could update the formula for "pre-clearance," but lawmakers have been unable to agree on new standards.
Some Southern states have subsequently moved aggressively to impose new, tougher voter ID requirements. Supporters of the legislation, including many Republicans, argue the new standards help prevent voter fraud.
But Democrats say the changes are really intended to exclude poor, minority and young voters who might not have the required photo identification and for whom obtaining it would prove costly.
“Just to be clear, I know where my birth certificate is, but a lot of people don't,” Obama quipped, in reference to the campaign controversy over his birthplace. “I think it's still up on a website. You remember that? That was crazy. That was some crazy stuff. I hadn't thought about that in a while.”
Obama accused Republicans lawmakers of “changing the rules to try to restrict people's access to the ballot.”
And the president said he would have Attorney General Eric Holder review all of the laws being passed for possible legal challenges.
“I will not let voter suppression go unchallenged,” Obama said.
But he also encouraged the assembled crowd to turn out and volunteer to register voters, even as restrictions tightened.
The president did not discuss alternative proposals to combat changes to voting laws.
Earlier this week, civil rights leader Andrew Young suggested Obama provide free Social Security cards with photos to all citizens, in a proposal endorsed by Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter.
Earlier in the day, White House press secretary Jay Carney said the administration hadn't had a chance to renew the proposal.
“We haven't had an opportunity to review all of the implications of that idea that Bill Clinton and others have put forward, but generally speaking on the question of voting rights, President Obama believes we should be making it easier and not harder for every eligible citizen to vote,” Carney said.
Whta is disturing, while this was happeneing no one no one stepped up to the plate, the GOP sat down after getting bitch slapped across the face and cried in the corner much like bonehead does now. Shameful decietful feckless spineless useless fools. Now you cry? after 8 years of this destruction
Google , Bing or Dogpile for voter fraud and you’ll see a picture of Obama
Broncobama and eric holder will keep ratcheting up any and every race angle all the way to November. Joining up with Sharpton ... what a disgrace.
Turns out Obama calculatedly setup a vehicle for consolidating Dummycrat power.....using our tax dollars. healthcare.gov is also a voter registration site: Unsuspecting enrollees are being plugged into Democrat voter rolls.
EXHIBIT ONE Local couple upset after receiving pre-marked voter registration card from "Covered California" (Cali O/Care)
10news | 03-29-2014 | Preston Phillips / FR Posted by Kevin in California
A local couple called 10News concerned after they received an envelope from the state's Obamacare website, Covered California. Inside was a letter discussing voter registration and a registration card pre-marked with an "x" in the box next to Democratic Party.
======================================================
EXHIBIT TWO Obama went on latino TV whining about "underdeserved" latinos and is conniving to get them enrolled.
INCONVENIENT FACTOID Latinos do not need to pay for O/Care---they can get free healthcare any frickin' time they want it.
Obama's "latino enrollment" scam is a ruse to get votes by putting illegals into O/Care. NOTE WELL healthcare.gov is also a voter registration site. Tricky Democrats can easily plug in enrollees into their voter rolls.....and count them as votes on election day.
================================================
Here's how the tricky Dems work the enrollment/voter scam: O/Care's Oregon state exchange "accidentally" enrolled 4000 illegals
PASS THE WORD: This is a scam. Enrolling illegals was no accident. Obamacare web sites are also setup to accept voter registrations.
In Oregon vote-crazed Dems racked up 4000 votes (that we know of) to help them survive looming 2014 midterms).

BOOKMARK THIS Each state's Secretary of State is required to check into all cases of reported voter fraud. Course a Dem won't. But many states have Repub Secy's of State. They should be notified about illegals registering via O/Care.....and fraudulently plugged into Democrat voter rolls.
======================================
The Untraceable $8 Billion ObamaCare PR Budget---truly govt fraud at its finest. Egged on by Pelosi, no one in Congress told Americans about Section 4002---which mandates an $8B untraceable fund to "promote" Obamacare (apparently b/c Boobamba had so little confidence in his signature legislation). In 2010 Taxpayers are extorted $500 million, in 2011, $750 million, 2012, $1 billion, 2013, $1.25 billion, 2014, $1.5 billion and in 2015 and on, $2 billion.
I guess the 35,000 that were reported to have voted at minimal twice is BOGUS as well ROTUS?
How Chicago and Obama Globalized Voter Fraud
By Michael Bargo Jr.
American Thinker 12/30/2012
Chicago has a long tradition of padding its vote totals by placing homeless and deceased persons on its voter registration list. Jim Laski, who once served as the City Clerk of Chicago, second in power only to the mayor, noted in his book My Fall From Grace that fraudulent voters were registered to addresses that included cemeteries, municipal buildings, and taverns. The taverns, at least, are understandable: politically connected city workers spent so much time on bar stools the Board of Elections thought they lived there.
Other voters who had died or moved away were also on the voter registration list. Once again, the tendency for the dead to vote in Chicago can be easily explained: the dead cannot be expected to walk to City Hall and remove themselves from the registered voter list. Everyone in Chicago knows they can only walk as far as the local polling place. This tradition was verified in 1983 when the registered voter list was examined and it was found that 3,000 had either died or moved away.
Since 1985 Chicago has pioneered new ways to promote illegal immigration. After 1990 the illegal immigrant population in Chicago and the nation skyrocketed. As illegal immigrants flocked to Chicago, a method was needed to get them on the registered voter list. Although 80,000 illegal aliens voted in 1982, the old-fashioned way, through vote fraud; by 2005 both Cook County and the state of Illinois had moved to allow photo I.D. to be given to illegal immigrants by passing matricula consular laws.
By allowing the matricula consular to function as an official photo I.D., Illinois and Chicago can say they are conforming to any Voter ID requirement. But the Cook County law (most Illinois illegal immigrants live in Cook County) also allows the consulates of Mexico and “any other Latin American country” to issue the consular I.D.s at their discretion. In effect, Illinois has enabled foreign countries to decide who votes in U.S. elections.
In 1983 an alien born in Belize stated to the Chicago Tribune that he and his two sisters were never required to show any identification when they registered to vote. The matrícula consular enables people to reside in Illinois, and once they reside there, they need no ID to register to vote.
This “globalization” of voting rights is clearly a violation of the U.S. Constitution, yet has never been challenged in any court during its ten year history. This supports the idea that Chicago’s goal is to attract large numbers of undocumented residents from all countries.
How Barack Obama enabled illegal immigrants to get on voting lists is the heretofore missing story of the actions he took in the 1990s to help expand the number of Hispanic voters.
Political analysts who have researched Obama’s policy history found that he voted “present” over 100 times as a member of the Illinois State Senate. So he was not actively involved in much legislation. The clues to what he did do in his early days are to be found in his community organizing work. A review of these activities reveals that he was focused on expanding “voter participation.” In 1993 he helped run a voter registration drive for ACORN called “Project Vote” which registered 135,000 new voters and was crucial to the election of U.S. Senator Carol Moseley Braun.
Obama’s activities took place within a national context: Bill Clinton won the election of 1992 by such a narrow margin that he immediately set out to create a larger voter base for 1996. To do so he passed the Motor Voter Law, which contains a loophole stating that a potential voter does not need to have an ID in order to register to vote.
Expanding the voter base was so important to President Clinton that the Motor Voter Law was the first bill he signed into law as president.
Barack Obama, as a U.S. Senator, was also a vocal critic of Voter ID laws. In 1995, the first year the Motor Voter law was to be implemented, Barack Obama represented ACORN and successfully sued the Republican governor of Illinois, forcing the state to implement the law.
After he became president, Obama had his Justice Department sue Arizona for passing SB 1070, claiming that immigration is a Federal issue and that SB 1070 would interfere with Federal procedures. Of course he has never sued Illinois for enabling the matricula consular to function as a valid state ID, or sued Cook County for allowing the matricula consular to function as a “valid passport” when a Latin American returns to their native country.
These two actions have the effect of enabling illegal Hispanic immigrants to cross Arizona into Illinois and other states, and vote. From 1990 to 2000, the number of Hispanics of voting age in Cook County, IL increased 54% to 689,383.
Enabling foreign nationals to vote in Illinois allowed the Democrats to manipulate not just local and state elections, but the presidential election as well. This is because the electoral college is not based on votes counted, but on population. The 2000 Census found that in 19 of the 100 largest U.S. cities the only part of the population that is growing is the Hispanic segment. Mexican families have twice as many children as white families. And children are also counted by the Census Bureau to determine the number of Congressional Representatives.
The larger the population a state has, the more electoral college members it has. States that are solidly Democratic can continue to extend their influence on the Presidential elections by extending their Hispanic populations. Today, one in four children born in the U.S. is Hispanic.
It has been 27 years since Chicago started sanctuary policy for illegal immigration. Since that time Chicago, Illinois, and other cities and states have expanded the illegal immigrant population by stretching the envelope of immigration through Sanctuary Policy. At the same time they have stretched the concept of voter registration.
The notion that foreign nationals can influence elections is no longer a possibility but a reality. The first president to both actively participate in that process and benefit from it is Barack Obama. These actions prove that President Obama is not a socialist or a Marxist, he is an old-fashioned Chicago Democrat who is focused on padding the voter registration list to get elected.

the rest of the history
By complaints he means convictions, right?
ROFL
Photo ID’s are racist!
“So let’s be clear, the real voter fraud is the people who try to deny our rights by making bogus arguments about voter fraud.”
Actually I might agree for once with Obozo but not in the way he was thinking when he was spewing his bs. By making bogus arguments that voter fraud does not exist, Obozo and his political hacks and puppets are enabling illegal voting and denying the Constitutional rights of those who vote legally.
Did you ever wonder why obumbler picked Chuck Hagel so quickly for Secretary of Defense?
CEO of American Information Systems Inc., a computerized voting machine manufacturer.
Think about that.
What obumber was really saying:
“If we had voter ID, I never would have made it the second time.”
No doubt every person in Dear Reader’s audience had to show a valid photo id to get in. Was he trying to prevent minorities from seeing him?
How about it you folks in North Carolina, the Obama
is calling you a liar...
I am a native NC born and raised, although I spent time in other states in between. I say that to say this...from a child I have heard of dead people voting every year in elections here.
There was a time if you wanted a job in WNC you had to be a registered Democrat, and secretly vote Republican. It got so bad, in 1950s I believe, a true story told to me by older family and friends..a female teacher was fired for voting Republican and the students protested. The principal refused to allow them to graduate. Needless to say some cars ended upside down in a school parking lot riot...they graduated after all!
There are a couple of counties in NC that really are corrupt, and I will stop there. That type of behavior is returning with this Administration. Obama only won NC with 8000 votes and all of us knew it was the older dems, who have homes here and in Florida, who double voted or the dead people!
OH and we all know who the LIAR REALLY IS!
Here is a study on the dead and double voters here;
http://www.wate.com/story/25145787/report-points-to-possible-voter-fraud-in-nc
Even the far left website Daily Kos acknowledges the small number of votes for Obama in NC in 2008:
www.dailykos.com/.../-Early-Voting-in-NC-Day-1-Obama-pull..
News from 2008 election Quote:
Daily Kos
Oct 19, 2012 - North Carolina has “One-Stop early voting,” which means that you can register to ... Obama is probably ahead by about 8,000 votes right now in North Carolina, after ..... Obama won NC by a razor thing margin in 2008. ... But it will be a surprise and icing on the cake if he wins North Carolina in this election.”
So OBAMA and The Press stating this is minor vote fraud is ludicrous on the face of 2008 election, it got him elected didn’t it?
President Simba weighs in.
Jesse Jackson Jr. a Chicago ally wanted to be there for support, but he's in jail.
Bill Ayers - the 60's domestic terrorist and a man who dedicated his first book to all people who had murdered a police officers added his support on voter fraud - telling the gullible press that he had never heard of voter fraud in Chicago..
Obama and Sharpton stood together against outrageous Republicans who dared to challenge their honesty and integrity on this issue. The press also believes Sharpton would never be a snitch because Sharpton says he didn't 'feel' like a snitch. The press accepted that delusion...
Then the press - being democrat butt kissers - bought into everything Obama said and declared the issue 'settled'. Quoted saying," once democrats made their pronouncements from 'on high'... it's settled and anyone who says otherwise is a denier"
It's hard to believe Obama's NOT aware of this rather open 'secret'.
Almost as hard as believing Bill Ayers was 'just a guy in the neighborhood'... who ghosted 'Dreams' and dedicated a book to all the cop killers in the country...by name.
Or that Sharpton wasn't a snitch...and wasn't in on drug dealing...
or that you can keep your doctor...
or that Benghazi was caused by a movie clip...or that... all the other bullsh*t stories so transparent only people stupid enough to work for the press or MSNBC could buy.
This...isn’t...satire...wow!
