With print and TV ads, mass-mailings, and robocalls to every single
home, Pennsylvanians could soon get pounded with information about photo
ID requirements for the upcoming presidential election.

The Pennsylvania Department of State said Thursday it
will spend $5 million on a multimedia campaign to reach 8.1 million
voters between now and Nov. 6. Messages will soon roll out on social
media and crawl across the screen during the daily lottery drawings.

Pennsylvania is rolling out a significant and sophisticated outreach program to their citizens that targets those that may not have a photo ID.  The full story is here.

Pelosi blames Holder contempt action on voter ID opposition

The “Mad Red Queen” strikes again, connecting those dots.  Lost guns, dead agents, lying to Congress and…..voter ID. 

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi,
D-Calif., said at a news conference today that Republicans are
attacking Attorney General Eric Holder not because he is failing to
produce sufficient documents in the “Fast and Furious” gun case but because he is enforcing laws against voter suppression.

Wide Support for Florida’s Foreigner Voter Purge

American Thinker has more on the wide public support;” for Governor Scott’s purge of foreigners from Florida voter rolls.

Doing the right thing is not always popular with the voters but in this case, it’s pretty much a no brainer. People don’t want their vote diluted by those ineligible to vote. Even Democratic demogoguing of the issue hasn’t dampened people’s enthusiasm for Scott’s policies.”

This has been a bizarre month for Justice Department decision making.  Today, executive privilege, earlier, the decision to go after Florida to keep foreigners on the voter rolls.  There must be something in the water over at DOJ.  Or at least when it comes to Florida voter rolls, perhaps something is in the Coca-Cola.  There is a dark filthy DOJ office filled with hundreds of empty Coca-Cola Classic bottles.  The floor needs to be vacuumed, and this is where decisions to sue Florida are made.  Whatever the reason for them, these mystifying DOJ decisions don’t have wide public support.

Poll: “Florida voters support purge of non-citizens”

…the poll indicates a wide partisan divide over the issue, with nine
out of ten Republicans supporting the push by Scott while Democrats
oppose it by a 60%-33% margin. Fifty-nine percent of independent voters
support the move to purge non-citizens from the voter rolls and 37% are
opposed.

According to the survey, white voters back the move by a 67%-29%
margin, as do Hispanic voters by a slight 49%-42% margin, with black
voters opposed 56%-38%.
