Take it on Faith – Cross State List Checks Dangerous

A typical HuffPost piece warning of the dangers of states cooperating to see if state voter lists have duplicate voters. Bob Brandon has it in for the good work Virginia has done to verify if Virginia voters are registered in other states. Noting that Virginia first thought 308,000 voters were registered in another state besides Virginia, he downplays the final number.

You’ll be pleased to learn that “a little over 164,000 voters were found to be registered in other states,” according to Brandon.

Yes, just “a little over” 164,000 voters were improperly registered in Virginia. Comforting.

Brandon and those who warn of disenfranchisement when states cross check their voter lists for duplicates never seem to be able to produce a single person who was disenfranchised from a cross state check. Instead, election integrity advocates can produce multiple examples of people who voted twice in different states, like Democrat Congressional Candidate Wendy Rosen or college student Tarrell Campbell.

You won’t ever hear Brandon mention Campbell or Rosen in a HuffPost piece.

Brandon is at the “Fair Elections Legal Network,” one of the many George Soros funded groups designed to preserve defects in our electoral system and criticize those law abiding citizens who want to ensure that illegal votes are not cast. Naturally, Brandon also is a member of the academy as well as a genuine partisan:

“Mr. Brandon has been an advisor to the White House on health care strategy. Earlier in his career, he served as Washington Director of Citizen Action, the Executive Director of the Citizen/ Labor Energy Coalition and Director of the Tax Reform Research Group. He has been an adjunct lecturer in law at the George Washington University Law School.”
