Former Broadcaster Sentanced for Voter Fraud in Wyoming

Story:

“I was living in Big Horn County at the time,” said Koch. “It was a heated political year. Obama was running for office. I had political beliefs I felt strongly about. I was having a conversation with my mother-in-law who’s an elected official (Representative Elaine Harvey) and explained my situation. She said to go ahead and register to vote. The worst that could happen is I would be rejected. I remember taking my son into the election hall and explaining to him how voting was our greatest right; we should take pride in it. In subsequent years, I was already in it so I just kept voting.”

“Setting the Record Straight about Jim Crow”

National Review.

“The majority of the ACRU study focuses on the horror of Jim Crow, which at its core was a system of state-enforced laws that relegated blacks to inferior status. When police enforcement wasn’t enough, lynchings were used to keep Jim Crow in place. At least 3,500 blacks were lynched during the Jim Crow years, and people were murdered right up through the mid 1960s.

But the political enforcement of Jim Crow was entirely in Democratic hands. The Ku Klux Klan functioned as the paramilitary wing of the Democratic party, and it was used to drive Republicans out of the South after the Civil War. Before he took up the cause of civil rights as president, Lyndon Johnson acting as Senate majority leader blocked the GOP’s 1956 civil-rights bill, and gutted Eisenhower’s 1957 Civil Rights Act. Democratic senators filibustered the GOP’s 1960 Civil Rights Act.”
