Wyoming registration system fails to identify felons resulting in 6 voters accused of registration, voting fraud
Six local residents are accused of illegally voting during the 2012 election. The Laramie County Sheriff’s Department arrested them this week on voter fraud charges.
…Laramie County Clerk Debbye Lathrop said the revelations came about after her staff crosschecked the 2012 voter list with the Wyoming Department of Criminal Investigation’s database. She said her staff has to manually enter the names of people who voted using same-day registration to check their eligibility status. That process took weeks after the election occurred. She guessed it took so long for the cases to then move through the system because law enforcement has higher priorities to pursue on daily basis.
Dem Senator Warner calls long voting lines “a de facto poll tax” – conveniently forgetting the long “poll tax” lines he presided over in 2004
Last week, Senator Warner took his turn as left wing demagogue comparing long voting lines to de facto poll taxes. Starting at about minute 37:00 of the Senate hearing, Warner responds to Boxer’s over the top presentation on voting lines: “This (long voting lines) becomes a de facto poll tax. Those who can afford to stand in line for hours can do it, those can’t afford, can’t. .
It is surprising that Senator Warner is attacking others for long voting lines and comparing them to racist poll taxes since he once served as the Governor of Virginia from 2002 to 2006 and presided over the longest lines in 20 years, according to USA Today. The Senator may not have remembered the long lines of the 2004 Presidential Election where USA Today reported on a record numbers of Virginia voters who suffered from his very own de facto poll taxes.
By all signs, voters were engaged. At one polling place in a Virginia suburb of Washington — where there was no hotly contested local race to spur interest — nearly 100 people were in line when the polls opened at 6 a.m., in a turnout that one voter was the largest she had seen in 20 years of voting at the location.…There were long lines at polling places, and officials predicted record turnout in the first wartime election in a generation.
Instead of rational discourse to fix the issue of lines, Senator Warner offered an emotional partisan outburst that is contrary to the findings of the Presidential Commission on Election Administration that found the long lines were limited and the result of polling place management and other administrative reasons, not a result of racial discrimination. Warner wanted a boogeyman; instead he saw his reflection in the mirror.
“Debo’s Downfall: How an unlikely coalition worked together to block the Debo Adegbile nomination”
“Seven Senate Democrats joined 44 Republicans on March 5 to oppose the nomination of Debo Adegbile to head the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division—a vote President Barack Obama labeled a “travesty” and pundits denounced as “racist.” The bipartisan blockage arose from the unlikely coalition of a moderate Republican congressman, a popular African-American Democrat, a Tea Party senator, a powerful labor union, and a long-grieving widow.”
