Democrats want Election Day on Saturday, the Sabbath for Jewish voters

According to the ABC blog, Democrats apparently think Saturday is a better day for Election  Day and filed legislation in Congress to mandate it by 2014. 

Two top Democrats suggest it would be more convenient in these times to
vote on the weekend instead. They want Saturday to be the new Election
Day, and ideally for them, that would start in 2014.

The sponsors conveniently ignore observant Jews and other religious groups recognizing the Sabbath on Saturday.  Just recently, the conflict was raised overseas in Scotland where thousands of Jews were forbidden to vote.  Similar concerns were expressed in the recent Nevada primary with appropriate accommodations were made.

NAACP hopes Uganda, Cuba, Libya, and Nigeria on U.N. Human Rights Council “shame” U.S. on photo ID laws

Other members on the Human Rights Council include Russia, Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Angola.  The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced
it will appear before the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva
next week to seek support for its fight against voter identification
laws enacted in U.S. states.

…”The power of the U.N. on state governments historically is to shame
them and to put pressure on the U.S. government to bring them into line
with global standards, best practices for democracy,” NAACP President
Benjamin Jealous told reporters Thursday. “There are plenty of examples —
segregation of the U.S. to apartheid in South Africa to the death
penalty here in the U.S. — of global outrage having an impact.”  Link.

“GOP Outspent by Vote Fraud Denier Industry”

Kevin Mooney at American Spectator:

Going into the 2012 elections, the Republican Party appears to be a great disadvantage against a well-funded, well-organized “vote fraud denier industry” working overtime to keep ineligible names on ballots across the country. . . . .

The “vote fraud denier industry” as it is aptly described by Adams, includes several groups that deserve scrutiny. They are: The Brennan Center for Law and Justice, the Advancement Project, the NAACP, the ACLU, Demos, and the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. The financial backers standing behind this industry, according to “Injustice,” are the George Soros’s Open Society Institute, the Ford Foundation, the Carnegie Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation and Pew Charitable Trusts.

Bill Wilson, president of Americans for Limited Government, has commented, “The fact that Soros is spending large amounts of money to prevent voter fraud investigations is a bright red warning light that the sanctity of our election system is under unprecedented attack.”

Deroy Murdock: American Photo ID Day

 Washington Times.  Great article by Deroy Murdock, the man with the best out of office messages known to man:

“Race-baiting Democrats apparently couldn’t care less about these undocumented citizens. If they did, they would lead a common-sense effort to provide photo ID cards to every American adult who needed one. By displaying new ID cards on Election Day, these politically enfranchised Americans would curb potential and actual ballot fraud and boost confidence in the voting system.

Beyond Election Day, these freshly documented citizens would be socially enfranchised. With photo ID cards, they could cash checks, fly, visit government buildings and do plenty more that documented citizens accomplish daily.


“It’s perplexing how so many groups complaining about voter ID laws have the funds to register voters, educate voters and transport voters to the polls, but never budget anything to rectify ID problems,” declared Deneen Borelli, a fellow advisory board member of Project 21, a network of market-oriented black thinkers.


Civil rights organizations and other groups that rail against photo ID rules “should dedicate their resources to help people get IDs rather than complain about laws that have passed,” said J. Christian Adams, a former Justice Department voting rights attorney and author of the legal-policy page-turner “Injustice.” “That’s what they did in 1964. But it’s harder to raise funds off of accomplishments rather than complaints.” Mr. Adams introduced me to the challenge of credentialing America’s undocumented citizens.”
