Voter ID “actually makes the process easier” say South Carolina poll workers



Results are in for South Carolina’s 1st congressional district race – and for implementation of the state’s photo voter ID requirement in today’s election.  In Dorchester County:


 


“The voter ID requirement, which has been in place since the beginning of the year, actually makes the process easier, several poll workers said… There appeared to be no significant issues with the voter ID law or the voting machines so far, and Democratic poll watchers, including County Chairman Richard Hayes, reported a smooth process.”


 


Three more felony voter fraud charges in Hamilton County, Ohio



“Three more people were charged today with voter fraud related to voting in Hamilton County in the 2012 presidential election… If convicted, they face up to 18 months in prison.”


 


This brings the county’s total number of felony voter fraud indictments this year to six, including poll worker and professed Obama voter Melowese Richardson, who is charged with eight counts of illegal voting in multiple elections.


 


Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said, “Our democracy is built on our lawful right to vote. Everyone’s vote is weakened when some people decide to disobey the law.”


 


Presumably the Department of Justice agrees and U.S. Attorney Carter Stewart is on the case(s) too.


“Donetta Davidson & Pam Anderson Embrace Left Wing Groups In The Name Of Laziness”

 Colorado Peak Politics:

“County Clerks have been clamoring for all-mail ballots for a number of years now because it makes their life easier. But making life easier for bureaucrats shouldn’t be the driving force behind election reform. Sometimes the headaches county clerks have to endure are necessary to ensure integrity in elections.”

Latest Effort to Regulate Free Speech

 PJ Media.

“Whenever Congress acts in the area of political speech, there’s a touch stone for everything we do, should be the first amendment to the Constitution. And I think that the public should be particularly skeptical when you have elected politicians of either part enacting rules limiting the ability of public citizens to criticize the behavior of their elected officials,” Cruz said recently during a Senate hearing on campaign finance reform.

I had occassion to spend some time at an event with Ted Cruz in Dallas last weekend.  The future is bright for this Senator. 

The Racialism of Mel Watt


Surprise has abated by now.  President Obama’s FHFA nominee Mel Watt:

Watt reportedly said that a “substantial majority of white voters” would not vote for a black candidate under any circumstances.

He acknowledged “some” white people would support a black candidate, but said voters who refuse should be “factored out.”


“I’ve got no use for them in the democratic process,” he reportedly said.


Watt also claimed that black voters — unlike white voters — don’t have “an absolute commitment” to voting for a candidate based on race.”

Perhaps Mr. Watt was looking at polarization coefficients from his own Congressional district history, but reversing the labels on the columns.
