Virginia defies Democratic Party lawsuit and purges 40,000 voters before election | The Raw Story
You can't make this stuff up!![]()
I realize illegal voters are the life blood of the Democratic Party, responsible for most of their victories. But you do understand that there is a law, and the law requires purging illegal voters from the rolls, right? And Cucinelli as AG is obligated to do this.
You wouldn't give a shit of course, if Cucinelli weren't running for Governor.
I understand you folks don't like Democracy and are doing your very best to subvert it.
In Florida, with during the Al Gore/George W. Bush race, they used a "law" to purge "felons" from the rolls.
Later on, it was found that the "felons" weren't felons at all.
Back in 2000, 12,000 eligible voters a number twenty-two times larger than George W. Bushs 537 vote triumph over Al Gore were wrongly identified as convicted felons and purged from the voting rolls in Florida, according to the Brennan Center for Justice. African Americans, who favored Gore over Bush by 86 points, accounted for 11 percent of the states electorate but 41 percent of those purged. Jeb Bush attempted a repeat performance in 2004 to help his brother win reelection but was forced to back off in the face of a public outcry. Yet with another close election looming, Florida Republicans have returned to their voter-scrubbing ways.

Like it's even surprising..this is the only way Republicans can win elections anymore.

Amazing.
Next we'll have a guy who runs, say, a voting machine company vowing to do whatever he can to elect George Bush. Or running his campaign while serving as secretary of state in the same state.
Oh wait...
Can you just imagine what the right wing would say if President Obama did anything remotely close to that?

You mean like having the IRS target your political enemies?
Heaven forbid
Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R) was serving as a the Board of Elections legal adviser and was also on the ballot as the Republican Partys nominee for governor.
Clear conflict of interest going on here. He should have been immediately removed as "legal adviser" for the Registrar if he's on the freaking ballot.
So have any of those 40,000 removed voters been shown to have been removed in error yet?
They probably don't even know they were removed.
Correct, because they are either dead or have moved from the commonwealth. Dipshit.
I guess that means your ACORN bitches can't vote in their stead. Too bad scumbag.

Absolutely, after all, who in their right mind wants an Attorney General that actually enforces the law. Example, Eric Holder only enforces the laws that he wants to.

Well considering the purge rolls are public, this is your BIG CHANCE to show that people are being removed in error, or deliberately. I'm sure some Media Matters dipshit squad is busy going over the purged rolls, and if there are any issues, they will be found.

From Rolling fucking Stone? Why don't you just link to the CPUSA's magazine "Workers World"? Which is where you get most of your opinions anyway
And then, to top it off.... Rolling Stoned cites Stink Progress?

The individual citizen has no federal constitutional right to vote for electors for the President of the United States unless and until the state legislature chooses a statewide election as the means to implement its power to appoint members of the Electoral College. U.S. Const., Art. II, §1. This is the source for the statement in McPherson v. Blacker, 146 U.S. 1, 35 (1892), that the State legislatures power to select the manner for appointing electors is plenary; it may, if it so chooses, select the electors itself, which indeed was the manner used by State legislatures in several States for many years after the Framing of our Constitution. Id., at 2833. History has now favored the voter, and in each of the several States the citizens themselves vote for Presidential electors. When the state legislature vests the right to vote for President in its people, the right to vote as the legislature has prescribed is fundamental; and one source of its fundamental nature lies in the equal weight accorded to each vote and the equal dignity owed to each voter. The State, of course, after granting the franchise in the special context of Article II, can take back the power to appoint electors. See id., at 35 ([T]here is no doubt of the right of the legislature to resume the power at any time, for it can neither be taken away nor abdicated) (quoting S. Rep. No. 395, 43d Cong., 1st Sess.).
Voting rolls need be up to date.
The R was way behind in the polls with the D pulling away from him.
That will not change.
Um..he's purging Democratic voters.
Yeah..it might just change the election.
They probably don't even know they were removed.
