discrimination? how about pure politics! No Voter ID Law Means More Democrat Voters in November March 12, 2012 by Gary DeMar The Justice Department’s civil rights division shot down a new photo ID requirement for voters in Texas because many Hispanic voters lack state-issued identification. A similar edict from the Justice Department was leveled against South Carolina. When I saw the doctor yesterday to be treated for a sinus infection, I had to show my driver’s license and insurance card. Two days ago, the police set up a road block to check proof of insurance and a valid driver’s license. I wonder if the Hispanics didn’t have to stop to show whether they had a license. (Of course, I’m not in favor of random ID checks. I only mention this to make a point.) Early last month I flew to Las Vegas for a speaking engagement. I had to show my ID two times before I could board the plane. When I checked into the hotel, I was asked for my ID and a valid credit card. While in Las Vegas, I set up two business bank accounts. They wanted a whole lot of IDs. Last week I went to a different bank branch to cash a check, and the teller asked for my ID and wrote my license number on the check. Here’s a convenient list of where you will need an ID: ¦DMV ¦Airports ¦Hospital ¦Pharmacy ¦Donating Blood ¦Banks ¦Gun Shop ¦Cashing a Check ¦Adoption Agency ¦Social Security Office ¦Pawn Shops ¦Jail ¦Using a Credit Card ¦Court ¦Union Elections Here’s where you won’t need an ID in Texas and South Carolina: ¦Voting Booth Are we to conclude that these ID-less Hispanics don’t ever need to show identification for anything? One would we let people vote in elections who may not be citizens? We need a voter ID-law to keep people who have no stake in America from voting. Here’s what this is all about. Democrats know that Hispanics generally vote Democrat, especially Hispanics that are in the United States illegally. Of course, they don’t have valid IDs, so they would be denied voting rights. This would dilute the voting pool for Democrats. It’s that simple. http://godfatherpolitics.com/4149/voter-law-means-democrat-voters-november/#ixzz1p0Ki2Gpk

O'Keefe Video Exposes Voter Fraud-Friendly Policies in Vermont breitbart.com by Christian Hartsock 10 hours ago James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas has released a new video exposing just how easy it is to commit voter fraud in Vermont. The video, a sequel to O'Keefe's "Primary of the Living Dead" in New Hampshire, shows a Veritas agent entering various voting places around the state of Vermont, giving a different name each time. Each time, he is given a ballot without showing an ID, to his disbelief. In the video, the agent repeatedly requests (but does not take) a Republican primary ballot. As he explained to Breitbart.com: "We wanted to remind viewers this is not a partisan issue. This is a situation wherein anyone -- Republican or Democrat -- can exploit the system." The new video follows in the wake of a highly-politicized media attack on Mr. O’Keefe after his exposure of voter fraud in New Hampshire. Those videos resulted in calls from the left for O’Keefe’s arrest. However, the videos soon resulted in the New Hampshire State Senate passing a new bill requiring voter ID. O'Keefe's new video from Vermont could not be more timely, coming the day after the U.S. Department of Justice's civil rights division blocked a Texas photo ID requirement for voters--to the applause of the American Civil Liberties Union, which claimed that the law was “discriminatory” against “Latinos, African-Americans, elderly citizens, and others.” As the Project Veritas video shows, the current system in Vermont discriminates against actual legal voters, who must face the prospect of disenfranchisement by those who would vote in their stead illegally, or have their votes cancelled out by those voting illegally in place of deceased voters who have yet to be removed from the rolls. If it is not discriminatory for Vermont citizens to be required to show ID to get married or buy alcohol, it is certainly not discriminatory to make them show ID to vote. “It is a national disgrace that ballots can be given out in the names of dead people,” O’Keefe told Breitbart.com. “Threats of government intimidation will not stop us from protecting the integrity of the ballot box. If any state has a system which encourages ballots to be given out to the wrong person, dead or alive, we will come to your state, we will film your poll workers, and Project Veritas will put the videos on YouTube. States like Vermont and New Hampshire have to take dead people off voter registration forms and clean up their act, once and for all.” ON BREITBART TV Exclusive: O'Keefe Video Exposes Voter Fraud-Friendly Policies in Vermont
