Courting the Cellblock Vote
Washington Times:
“Perhaps, but it seems more likely Mr. Holder has in mind a new survey by the Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, which found that a mere one in 10 returning felons registers to vote as a Republican.
It’s not hard to see why. Democrats are notoriously soft on crime, and that’s exactly how professional criminals like it. It’s not necessarily good for the rest of society to establish a mutually beneficial relationship between criminals and Democrats.
Mr. Holder insists disenfranchisement perpetuates “the stigma and isolation imposed on formerly incarcerated individuals,” which increases their desire to commit crimes. Translation: “If they won’t let me vote, I’ll just stick up another 7-Eleven.” We’re not persuaded.
The Justice Department says that 11 states — including the electoral swing state of Florida — restrict voting rights for ex-felons. Mr. Holder sees 5.8 million undocumented Democrats to add to the voting rolls. Fortunately, he has no actual authority to force states to modify their laws.”
“Photo ID requirements for voters get OK from Missouri House committee”
A Missouri House committee approved on Wednesday measures to create one of the strictest voter photo identification requirements in the country. The change would require unexpired Missouri-issued or federal photographic identification. Bill sponsor Rep. Tony Dugger, R-Hartville, said the opportunity for voter fraud needed to be stopped to maintain the integrity of elections in the state. Link to story.
Radical nominee to Election Assistance Commission (EAC) joins in attacks on state powers to prohibit felons from voting
Brennan Center Deputy Director Myrna Perez, the radical nominee to the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) with absolutely no experience in election logistics, has now hit the air waves on C-SPAN to come to the aid of Attorney General Holder, calling on states to repeal their felon voting laws. She continues to bash the states saying the laws not allowing felons to vote are racist and only put in place specifically to stop blacks from voting. With no actual voting administration experience, we now see why President Obama has nominated her.

South Texas politiquera pleads guilty to buying votes
One down, two to go in Hidalgo County, Texas voter fraud case: A local politiquera pleaded guilty on Friday morning to having paid for votes in the 2012 Donna ISD school board election. Rebecca Gonzalez went before U.S. District Judge Randy Crane and pleaded guilty to one count of election fraud, court records show… Gonzalez is one of three campaign workers or politiqueras the FBI arrested in December after an ongoing investigation into vote buying during the 2012 school board election in Donna. Gonzalez, Guadalupe Escamilla and Diana Castañeda had all been accused of paying voters small amounts of cash, beer and cigarettes in exchange for their votes. Meanwhile, in neighboring Cameron County, the District Attorney and Elections Administrator have allied with local grassroots group Citizens Against Voter Abuse to protect election integrity and discourage voter fraud.
