Who is this D-Bag? These damn #nevertrumpers are worse than Democrats.
Mr. niteowl77
Uniparty.
Mississippi Ping Onyx.
Part of the swamp.He knows what will happen when they find all the fake voters that have been on the rolls for years.I bet soldiers from WW 1 are still voting.
Every objection should automatically trigger a federal investigation of the individuals and states objecting.
This is ABSOLUTELY INSANE that basic due diligence on the voter rolls has to become a political fight. ALL of these people have a duty to make sure the voter rolls are legitimate.
ANY obstruction of this process by any person should be responded to with arrests.
Remember when Obama wanted to designate election systems as “critical infrastructure”, and the howl that arose from the right?
Now the Federal Government wants detail on voting rolls from each state.... and the political right (excluding this guy) is just fine and dandy with it.
I thought we were supposed to be AGAINST the Federal Government interfering with local and state elections? Its so confusing being a conservative sometimes....
Suggestion: Fedzilla should issue a passport to every US citizen over 18 who doesn’t already have one. Then states pass laws requiring voters to show up with their passports.
Show me where in the Constitution the Federal Government has the right to demand that states cough up voting rolls, and the prescribed penalty should they refuse?
I hope that asking politely is only the first course of action.
If the Democrat Party would have him, Hosemann would be a Democrat. At heart he is, but he had to run as a Republican to get elected.
Article IV, Section 4, Clause 1:
“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government.”
... which is impossible to do without integrity of elections, as they are essential to having a republican form of government.
How would you know? This is not a conservative/liberal issue as much as a legal one. Trump is doing this to see who howls the loudest. Anyone aiding and abetting illegal voting is a federal criminal...they can be conservative, "liberal", socialist, communist...fascist...
This guy has no authority over the Gulf of Mexico.
A big part of me firmly believes in Federalism. We as conservatives can’t pick and choose how the states should express their independence based on who is sitting in the White House.
At the same time Hosemann’s letter is OBNOXIOUS. It reeks of NeverTrump.
It reeks.
Is this the same thing?
The Left wanted to take control(the Left always does) of state elections.
This is to clean up voter rolls which have been intentionally kept dirty for political reasons, namely voter fraud.
Wow. Well thats a stretch. I have an idea. Since we’re going down that route, how about the Federal Government supply all voting equipment, therefore standardizing elections in each state? And, while we’re at it, to further simply things, why don’t we make voter registration a Federal responsibility instead of a State responsibility?
You down for those changes? Seems to fit your mindset.
I agree. It is confusing. I know something has to be done. Vote fraud cannot continue. This does seem to be too invasive. Hosemann is at least partly right even if he is a douche and is probably working for the Republican establishment.
Looks like not only the Dems are guilty, though I am sure 95% of the fraud volume is Democrat.
The feds have long got around that by simply withholding funds from the states.
