Message From The Mayor: Vote Early — And Often
Investor's Business Daily ^ | 12-6-14 | Kerry Jackson

Posted on 12/08/2014 8:19:41 AM PST by afraidfortherepublic

The Democrats say that there is no reason to require voters to present identification, nor is any other measure to curb voter fraud needed. They should meet one of their own, Opelousas, La., Mayor Don Cravins Sr.

While speaking on Nov. 3, the day before the midterm elections, Cravins told a gathering, "If you 'early voted'" for Sen. Mary Landrieu, "go vote again tomorrow. One more time's not going to hurt."

In Louisiana, voters can go to the polls early, which Cravins sees as an invitation to stuff the ballots. But he's not worried about breaking the law. In the same meeting, he said, "Tomorrow we're gonna elect Earl Taylor as the D.A. so he won't prosecute you if you vote twice."

Cravins Jr. was Landfill’s Communications Director. Daddy was jus’ tryin’ to keep his kid employed. Question: Are there ANY honest people left in politics in this country today?

For a Mayor to say such a thing..to invite his citizens to commit a felony is in itself a felony. He should be prosecuted.

But how are you going to find a jury that wouldn't use its power of jury nullification to let him off?
