Latino voters strongly support voter ID and overwhelming have IDs

Latino voters have been at the center of the voter ID law
controversy, and yet according to a new poll released Thursday, they are
not too bothered by it. 

In its most recent study, the Pew Hispanic Center found that as many
as 71 percent of Latino registered voters support the controversial law,
which this year will be enforced for the first time in 11 states. Among
all registered voters, the ID law, which requires voters to show photo
identification in order to cast a ballot, is supported by 77 percent.

Consistent with this, 97 percent of those Latinos surveyed said they
are confident they have the ID needed to vote in their state.

“Racialist Dishonesty In Attacks on True the Vote”

Breitbart has the story.

“Something is happening this election that has never happened before. Tens of thousands of patriotic Americans are searching voter rolls for dead and invalid voter registrations. These same patriots will monitor thousands of polling sites, recording any deviation from legal procedures and standing as silent sentinels against lawlessness in the election. True the Vote and affiliated groups across the nation are leading this charge.

For this public service, vile dishonest elements of the Left and their duped surrogates in Congress have attacked them. A parade of shameless attackers have pushed a dishonest narrative about these groups. Among them are the Demos (a group funded by the convicted felon George Soros), Common Cause, and the Brennan Center at NYU Law. These purportedly non-partisan organizations have played an aggressive role in attacking Tea Party efforts to ensure that the 2012 elections are free from voter fraud.


The most dishonest and racialist of the attackers, however, is Brentin Mock at The Nation. Apparently, this magazine has no editorial standards for honesty and accuracy, else they would terminate their relationship with Mock.
 
. . .

But Mock’s inaccuracies aren’t just clumsy and small; they are also large and defamatory. They are racialist and malicious. Worse, some politicians have been duped by him.

Let’s stroll through Mock’s greatest hits.

Mock Myth #1 – “there are plenty of reports that show True the Vote has targeted neighborhoods that are majority people of color.”

There are also plenty of reports of Bigfoot and wood elves. All of these “reports” come from Mock’s fellow travelers who share Mock’s radical agenda. In truth, True the Vote monitors polls in every neighborhood. They have “targeted” (read: sued) two Republican-run election offices, including the Ohio Secretary of State. Mock cites not a lick of evidence for this assertion other than rumor and paranoia.

. . .

Mock leads an October 8 Nation story with the headline: “Are True the Vote’s Poll Watching Activities Illegal?” This is a deliberate effort to chill and deter political association and involvement. It is designed to threaten law abiding citizens with the fear of arrest if they participate legally in the political process and exercise rights under federal and state law.

Who’s suppressing whom?

. . .


Mock has even managed to push two politicians out on a limb with his dishonest attacks. Both Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) and Representative Elijah Cummings (D-MD) have fallen for it and sent accusatory letters to True the Vote. True the Vote has challenged the pair to attend their training seminars to learn the truth. They have even offered to meet with them and explain the True the Vote program. That neither Boxer nor Cummings have accepted tells you all you need to know about the motivation of the pair of politicians. As with Mock, myth is more compelling than truth.


But perhaps Republican’s shouldn’t get too upset about Mock and his confederates terrifying democrats about armies of elderly ladies armed with clipboards. If Democrat voters really are so gullible to believe Mock’s myths, then perhaps the GOP should just sit back, relax, and let them scare the hell out of their own voters for no reason.

DNC Fires O’Keefe Sting Target

It took two days, but the DNC has fired Stephanie Cabellero, the woman James O’Keefe caught on undercover video partipating in a scheme to illegally double vote in Florida.  Cabellero was a paid Obama Organizing for America staffer.

Stay tuned for more.  And if you work for the DNC or the Obama campaign, best hope you’ve played by the rules the last few months.  You never know who you might have been talking to if you haven’t.

“Voter ID Validation”

Wall Street Journal.  “The Critics Go Zero for Two.”

“Mr. Holder and other critics have used voter ID laws as a political foil to charge racism and gin up black voter turnout this year. The decision last week by Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court to block the Keystone State’s law only for this election was a big hint that the claims of racial discrimination are specious. The South Carolina decision underscores the point.”

Rally against the Rule of Law and Free Speech in Cleveland today

Details here at PJ Media.  The Lawyers Committee has jumped the shark.  They are sending nasty letters about this obvioulsy racist and intimidating billboard that factually describes Ohio law.


PJ Media:  Quick, hide the law books! Nobody breathe a word about voter fraud round here, someone might get scared!


This is what the Lawyer’s Committee has become in 2012 – a facilitator of racial paranoia. Our culture has degraded to the point where stating the truth, the empirical about voter fraud laws, is not met with praise, but rather with threats from lawyers. Incidentally, here is the Lawyer’s Committee’s 2008 condemnation of the New Black Panther Party appearance at the polls in Philadelphia. (Psyche! There really was no condemnation, but you already knew that.)


On cue, the paranoid opponents of free speech and the rule of law have organized a rally. . . .
