John Fund and Hans von Spakovsky are on the case. I explain here. http://cfif.org/v/index.php/commentary/54-state-of-affairs/1591-vote-fraud-threatens-this-years-elections
A taste:
Von Spakovsky, meanwhile, devastatingly refuted the leftist arguments
against laws requiring voters to show identification at the polls. Critics
say the laws make it too difficult to vote, especially for minorities. Yet,
as von Spakovsky explained, when voter-ID laws went into effect in Indiana
and Georgia for the 2008 elections – after federal judges noted that
plaintiffs could not produce a single witness who would be unable to vote
because of the new law – minority turnout increased by far more in those
states than it did elsewhere in the country.
The reality, von Spakovsky explained, is that it is the corruption of
fraud, not ID laws, that deters voting. Consider: After a series of 11
election-fraud convictions in Greene County, Alabama last decade, minority
turnout went up. As one elderly black woman explained, she cast a ballot for
the first time in years because “her vote was finally going to count.”
One line from Fund that did not make it into my column, but that is worth
worrying about, was this: To win an election these days (especially if you
are on the right), "You need a margin beyond litigation."
It should not come to a battle of lawyers. Reform is needed now. |
