Voter Advocate Rush Limbaugh Applauds SCOTUS' 'Huge, Huge, Huge Move to Undercut Dem Voter Fraud'


Voter Advocate Rush Limbaugh Applauds Supreme Court's 'Huge, Huge, Huge Move to Undercut Democrat Voter Fraud'
Polling Place Photo ID Restrictions in Indiana Upheld by SCOTUS in Courageous and Historic Dredd Scott-like Decision
By Why Stop at Keeping Black and Elderly Fraudsters from Stealing Elections?...


As the great voting rights advocate, Rush Limbaugh, trumpeted at the beginning of his radio show this morning, today's 6 to3 Supreme Court ruling allowing new, modern restrictions regarding which citizens may or may not cast a vote at an American polling place on Election Day, is "a huge, huge, huge move forward to undercut Democrat efforts to commit voter fraud this fall."

Fortunately, instead of coming in June, as expected, this decision on an Indiana Photo ID restriction case, comes just in time to prevent massive voter fraud at the polls in Indiana's Democratic Primary two weeks from now, where millions of fraudulent Democratic voters were almost certainly plotting to try and show up to vote on electronic voting systems on which it's impossible to prove one way or another whether they did or didn't vote the way the machines will tell us they did. With voting systems like those in use across the Hoosier State, and elsewhere around the country, it's all the more reason to ensure those Democrats can't show up and commit the fraud they were probably planning to on May 6th!

Clearly, today's SCOTUS decision is a good start, but it hardly goes far enough to ensure the right American voices are heard, as our founders intended! 14th Amendment, 14th Shmamendment! Don't you Democrats understand the Constitution is a living document, meant to be interpreted liberally?!

If we hope to ensure that only the right people vote, and not the wrong, fraudulent Americans, it's time to put our laws where our mouths are! So I've got some ideas, for some even more good polling place laws to help discourage voter fraud. Here's one or two of 'em…

  • Voters must vote with spouses, to prove they're not gay. Copy of marriage license may be shown in lieu of actual spouse, for voters 60 or younger. Divorce will not be a deterrent to voting, unless said divorces were undertaken under CA or NV law (or from other states to be determined later...maybe at the polling the place...on Election Day.)

  • Voters must name five Fox News anchors to prove they're not illegal immigrants. Only Americans would watch Fox News. And no, just saying the words "Lou Dobbs" won't do.

  • Voters must present current bank statement, showing $10,000 or more in savings account, in order to prove voter is not dead. This one is just common sense...

4. Even though (according to Donna Brazil) there has been about 3 known cases of...
actual voter fraud in the country in the past 7 years I think she said. Just another way to suppress the low income and under privileged votes.

8. The problem is dwarfed,by the rich who vote at their primary res
and absentee at their summer home(s). Would be a shame if they were caught and convicted of this felony and lost all voting rights.....

11. Right, and NONE in the history of Indiana...

Yet, this law was found necessary, despite the fact that it will disenfranchise thousands, in that state alone (much less all the other states sure to follow precedent, now that they've been given the SCOTUS thumbs up).

7. What if they gave an election and nobody came?
How about a boycott? They don't want us voting, they don't want to count the vote, so don't vote.

13. Now that would be rather interesting to see what those machines
would show being nobody voted. This would prove the machines to be fraudulent and not the voters.

9. there are republicans that vote where i do
that have no photo id`s....they are all over 70 years old and have`t any photo id`s. so for them to vote they would have to be driven to the dmv and have their id made. many of these people are wheel chaired bound and some can no longer travel at all.

where i vote they have my name in a book i tell them who i am and they tear my name out and give me a receipt.i can`t vote anywhere else because my name is`t in some other precinct book
.

this is going to hurt both republicans and democrats if the states demand photo id`s

12. But by and large, it's Dem-leaning voters who will be affected...

Poor, Elderly and Minorities lack the state-issued Photo ID required to vote in Indiana.

Unless you feel that such voters tend to vote Republican, it's a net-gain for the GOP. Period.

And a net-loss for both the Constitution, and the once-great United States of America.

10. This has been some orgy of evil for Rush this past week or so.
What with riot-baiting and now gleefully cheering on the disenfranchisement of "fraudulant" minorities, old, and poor. I keep hoping that I will wake up one of these days and not be in Oppositeland anymore. I need a scotch....

16. Was just wondering if this is going to effect mail-in-ballots . . . I hope not . . .
That will be one way, let's hope, that the elderly can continue to vote -- absentee ballots.

Meanwhile, we should improve the early voting and voting by mail --

Probably they throw them all away, but it's something they physically have to do ---

19. No, despite probs with IN absentee fraud (and none at the polling place)...

There are no known instances of in-person, polling place impersonation in Indiana's history, according to the defendants admission in the Supreme Court. Yet, this measure was upheld by SCOTUS anyway.

Meanwhile, yes, there are known instances of absentee voter fraud in IN, as absentee fraud is, far and away, the easiest way to defraud the system from a voter's point of view.

No, none of this affects absentee voting in Indiana. Though it's somewhat restricted in the state, and not easily done. It also means your vote is less likely to actually get counted (as with Vote-by-Mail everywhere), though with the bulk of IN's polling-place voting systems being unverifiable DRE systems, your chances have just increased, if you vote by mail in one of those counties, that it *might* actually get counted accurately...or in a way that it can be verified later, at least (maybe).

17. Rush needs to go back on the oxycontin.
What he doesnt realize is that *HIS* own party is the one more likely to commit voter fraud. And this is some scary shit too. :scared:

18. This is a very sad day indeed
As soon as a Dem President is elected we should think about impeaching Scalia, Thomas, and Kennedy for their Bush v. Gore decision (And O'Connor and Rehnquist in Absentia.) That decision was unconscionable, and no legal scholar believes that there is the slightest chance that the decision was made in good faith.

22. No
Just wishful thinking. But I do believe he will win.

And so do the oddsmakers:

And I think that the racists among them are under-rating Obama. He repels attacks against him like nobody I've ever seen.

OHIO ELECTION ACTIVITIES AND OBSERVATIONS
Report to the United States House of Representatives
Committee on House Administration, Representative Robert W. Ney, Chairman
Submitted by The American Center for Voting Rights, March 21, 2005

Weaver, Mark Landes, Jeffrey Stankunas, Jack Morrison, Jr., Thomas M. Saxer, Thomas R. Houlihan, Tim A. Greenwood, James P. Silk, Jr.

The American Center for Voting Rights, in association with various law firms and legal
counsel involved in the conduct of the Ohio presidential election, has assembled this report of
events that occurred during the 2004 election. This investigation found the following:

Third party organizations, especially ACT, ACORN, and NAACP engaged in a
coordinated “Get Out The Vote” effort. A significant component of this effort appears to be
registering individuals who would cast ballots for the candidate supported by these
organizations. This voter registration effort was not limited to registration of legal voters but,
criminal investigations and news reports suggest, that this voter registration effort also involved
the registration of thousands of fictional voters such as the, now infamous, Jive F. Turkey, Sr.,
Dick Tracy and Mary Poppins. Those individuals registering these fictional voters were
reportedly paid not just money to do so but were, in at least one instance, paid in crack cocaine.

The fraudulent voter registrations, however, appear to be only part of the effort of these
organizations to influence the election. There was an apparently coordinated national litigation
strategy to manipulate election laws in battleground states and, specifically, to eliminate the
provisions of election law that would prevent vote fraud. ....
