Politicians disrespect voting rights

Abstract:
As fall weather fills the air, so does the sweet smell of a new administration taking office at the White House. Unfortunately, many may find themselves without a vote on election day if Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen has his way. Van Hollen filed a suit against the Wisconsin agency that oversees elections, claiming that the state is "required under federal law to check the names of more than 240,000 voters against driver records," according to Van Hollen's Web site....

The author states this: There are, in all probability, legitimate counts of voter fraud on both ends of the political spectrum, whether the person is Democrat or Republican. However most voter fraud is a matter of clerical errors making mountains out of mole hills.

This statement is patently false. There are two items completely missing from this article: ACORN's proven wide scale election fraud on the democrats behalf and something known as a "provisional ballot".

I have no doubt that "legitimate counts of voter fraud on both sides of the political spectrum" exists, but it most certainly is heavily weighted on the democrat side. This could be considered lying by omission as far as I'm concerned because there are proven cases of liberal organizations promoting these fake registrations.

Doud is either completely ignorant of the rampant fraud that can almost always be attributed to a single organization or he is shilling for that organization or the democrats by attempting to marginalize the fraud and excuse it as "equal on both sides" and "dismissive of legitimate votes" which is not true, therefore LYING.

Heavy accusations from a man providing no evidence.

Oh, lets check who is behind virtually EVERY case of voter disenfranchisement, whether sending minorities fake fliers urging them to vote at the wrong location on the wrong date, or sending out fake election officials to student wards to disperse false information, or sending out fliers to democratic districts claiming that parking tickets need to be paid before you vote.

You want to talk anti-democratic? How about the concept of organized attempts to turn people away from the polls. Take your righteous indignation elsewhere, it's as phony as you are.

Bill,

ACORN is not affiliated with either political party.

ACORN may not be affiliated with either party but they sure are advocating that you vote for Obama, completer with offering cigarettes and other bribes. They are clearle a liberala organization bent on "fixing" the election.
