When I say that Obama “pushed” the Motor Voter Law, I mean that he represented ACORN in a lawsuit to force Illinois to implement the FEDERAL Motor Voter Law. The states themselves are given Constitutional authority to conduct Presidential elections. The Motor Voter Law was the feds telling states they couldn’t protect the integrity of their own elections. The governor of IL refused to implement those federal mandates, and Obama sued on behalf of ACORN. See http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/01/what_the_dems_know_universal_v.html and https://web.archive.org/web/20080212003520/http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/obama/700499,CST-NWS-Obama-law17.article Some other groups including Janet Reno’s DOJ joined the suit and ended up doing the arguing, and won the case. The governor appealed. The judge in the appeals case was a fellow colleague at University of Chicago and threw softballs at Obama in contrast to his usual manner with young lawyers. And decided for Obama/ACORN.
And that is how the precedent was set, that the feds can control elections that the Constitution gives the States the responsibility for administering. The key first plank for the Cloward-Piven Plan. Obama filed the suit, let the other lawyers do the work, and then came up with all the things the IL governor had to do in order to “fix” IL’s elections... (see the 2nd link above)
Congress claimed that they couldn’t do any vetting of Obama’s eligibility in the 2008 election because the Constitution only allows the STATES to run elections. Funny, that didn’t stop them from pushing the Motor Voter Law on all the States... And to this day Obama’s Department of Injustice, under Eric the Withholder, is trying to keep States from protecting the integrity of their elections, even though the Obama eligibility cases were dismissed on the legal premise that the States cannot be obligated to ensure that the Constitutional qualifications are met by Presidential candidates.
I’m wondering if the IL governor who refused to implement Motor Voter (until Obama filed a lawsuit to force him to do so) was the last Republican governor, as well as the last governor that IL had who wasn’t eventually jailed for corruption - not counting Rahm Emanuel whose time in jail (for the crimes committed in getting Obama the foreign enemy combatant installed into our White House) just hasn’t come yet...
If so, it vindicates what that last governor suspected, regarding the danger of Motor Voter...
