Republicans once again making it hard for people to Vote

[Truthmatters]

Come on Cc you haven't answered this question so I'll ask again.

So now how about you explain how overloading a district with temporary students that have the ability to manipulate local elections is fair for the permanent residence and tax payers in that area?

Overloading? You mean attending college?

No, overloading as in thousands of temporary people having no stake in the community having the ability to sway local elections. How would you like a butt load of students voting for a new tax levy that you object to and they will never have to pay. But hey someone at school told them to vote for it, won't cost them anything, so why not? Screw'em let them vote where at least someone in the family has an investment in the community.

you dont ask the rest of the voters there how long they plan on living in the city before you allow them to vote.

why target the students?

 

[Truthmatters]

they are so used to targeting people who they DONT like how they vote that they actually think its OK to try and keep people from voting.


Im so glad the American people are figuring their game out.

Well you have a problem with our voting system. Sorry about that *shrug*

Back to the topic at hand

The bill is designed to remedy the exact situation I describe, it is the topic at hand, it just doesn't fit the spin you're going for. Poooooooooooor Baby.

TM, are you advocating that a person should not have to give their legal residence address on a voter application?

Uh no, if we listen to the author of the bill that was not a reason at all. It's a reason you just made up.

New Hampshire House Speaker William O’Brien, a Republican, told a tea party group that allowing people to register and vote on Election Day led to “the kids coming out of the schools and basically doing what I did when I was a kid, which is voting as a liberal. That’s what kids do — they don’t have life experience, and they just vote their feelings.”

If they establish a residence there, meaning changing drivers license, auto registration and insurance and voter registration to the town, no problem. If they are there temporarily they should have no ability to make a permanent impact on the community.

 

[LogikAndReazon]

If someone can't manage something as easy as this do they really need to be voting?

Rmember you are addressing the imbeciles that find acquiring a valid ID an obstacle to extraordinary a task to conquer..................

 

[Truthmatters]

there is NO test for being allowed to vote in this country.

[Truthmatters]

any party that touts their ability to win elections by keeping "CERTAIN" people from voting is an Anti American party

How dare the Republicans, wanting to have one vote only.

 

[Truthmatters]

Prove there is any danger of such a problem with facts.

 

[Defiant1]

Wow, so keeping certain people who are not legally registered to vote is anti-American.

 

[Truthmatters]

why you lying about what I said?

 

[Truthmatters]

democracy works best when most people vote.

the republican party wants fewer and fewer people to vote.

WHY?????


because it makes it easier for them to win elections

Florida Central Voter File - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


James Lee's testimony

On 17 April 2001, James Lee testified, before the McKinney panel, that the state had given DBT the directive to add to the purge list people who matched at least 90% of a last name. DBT objected, knowing that this would produce a huge number of false positives (non-felons).[7]

Lee went on saying that the state then ordered DBT to shift to an even lower threshold of 80% match, allowing also names to be reversed (thus a person named Thomas Clarence could be taken to be the same as Clarence Thomas). Besides this, middle initials were skipped, Jr. and Sr. suffixes dropped, and some nicknames and aliases were added to puff up the list.

"DBT told state officials", testified Lee, "that the rules for creating the [purge] list would mean a significant number of people who were not deceased, not registered in more than one county, or not a felon, would be included on the list. DBT made suggestions to reduce the numbers of eligible voters included on the list". According to Lee, to this suggestion the state told the company, "Forget about it".

"The people who worked on this (for DBT) are very adamant... they told them what would happen", said Lee. "The state expected the county supervisors to be the failsafe." Lee said his company will never again get involved in cleansing voting rolls. "We are not confident any of the methods used today can guarantee legal voters will not be wrongfully denied the right to vote", Lee told a group of Atlanta-area black lawmakers in March 2001

Voting Law Changes in 2012 | Brennan Center for Justice



Ahead of the 2012 elections, a wave of legislation tightening restrictions on voting has suddenly swept across the country. More than 5 million Americans could be affected by the new rules already put in place this year — a number larger than the margin of victory in two of the last three presidential elections.

In October 2011, this report was the first full accounting and analysis of this year's voting cutbacks. Click here to read an up-to-date summary of both the bills that have been proposed and the legislation that has been passed since the beginning of 2011.

In 5-Year Effort, Scant Evidence of Voter Fraud










By ERIC LIPTON and IAN URBINA

Published: April 12, 2007




WASHINGTON, April 11 — Five years after the Bush administration began a crackdown on voter fraud, the Justice Department has turned up virtually no evidence of any organized effort to skew federal elections, according to court records and interviews.

You know, this one example is one example. But if you add up all the things repubs are doing to curb a problem that doesn't exist i.e. voter fraud (on a large scale) then you have to see the bigger picture is no matter how easy you think it is to jump thru hoops, you're sitting on the couch yelling "It's easy"

Of course, everything is easy when someone else has to do it and you're on a keyboard.

But combine all of it together and you have a Voter Suppression Voltron! Whether or not you think it's easy has nothing to do with it
