People seemingly voting after they’ve been dead for years. Drug kingpins buying votes from poor people to sway elections. Non-citizens being bussed to the polls and coached on how to vote. Stories of voting fraud are shocking, and states have been taking action to make sure that elections are secure. But the Justice Department, led by Attorney General Eric Holder, has blocked states at almost every turn.
This is the same Justice Department that stopped a non-partisan election reform by arguing that if party affiliation were removed from a ballot, African-American voters wouldn’t be able to identify and vote for the Democrats. Holder has continued to stoke the racial fires, calling a requirement for voters to produce photo identification a “poll tax.” Heritage expert Hans von Spakovsky said this argument is merely political. “Holder continues to perpetuate the incendiary error to the public, knowing that the poll-tax assertion is a racially charged one that should not be used lightly,” von Spakovsky said. He explained:
Even the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals—the most liberal appeals court in the country—did not buy the Holder poll tax claim when it reviewed Arizona’s voter ID law. In Gonzalez v. Arizona (2012), the Ninth Circuit held that even though “obtaining the free identification required under [Arizona law] may have a cost,” such immaterial costs are not a poll tax.
Holder is now “investigating” Pennsylvania’s voter ID law, on the left’s charge that it disenfranchises minorities.
Former Congressman Artur Davis, an African-American from Alabama who served in Congress as a Democrat from 2003 to 2011, finds this argument incredibly insulting. Speaking at The Heritage Foundation yesterday, Davis held up his driver’s license and said, “This is not a billy club. It is not a fire hose. I used to represent Birmingham and Selma, Alabama, and I know something about fire hoses.”

Eric”my people” thinks all of his”my people” are to dumb to obtain a ID,guess that proves how rotten Arnie Duncans job at at Dept. of Ed. is doing!How the h— are they going to cash the welfare ,foodstamp ,unemployment checks or even buy certian meds,booze,cigs drive enlist for the service,apply for a social security ,get into a rated movie,rent or buy anything? Do his people live under rocks{forgot all the dead vote Democrat} Well ? Mr. Holder are” your people” real or are you and dearleader still pretending so you can steal a election after all it’s is the Crook County way!Frankly if you believe the BS coming out of your mouth maybe you should ask for a rubber room next to dearleader?
But we don’t live in a just world. We live in a world with a dishonest President who does everything The Chicago Way and a corrupt media who long ago sold their souls in their quest to protect him.
This is way more than the Chicago way, this is Marxism at work.
We can yell, we can scream but Obama with Holders help is going to do what Obama wants in order to illegally be re-elected. Every illegal attempt will be made to see that every dead person, dead animal, every illegal, every minor will vote for Obama. There will be no one who can challenge the results. What this means is that there is only ONE person that has any and all rights of an American Citizen and that is Obama. Who will not and cannot even prove that he is an American Citizen.We have no law to protect us because we have no representation by anyone in Congress, Senate or the White House, there are NO steel spines anywhere to be had. We are now NOT for the People, NOT by the People and NOT of the People. We are just captives of thugs whose purpose is to destroy the greatest Nation known to man.The only law is Obamas total disrespect for any of our laws. and his respect for lawlessness and evil. I believe the only thing we can do is get down on our knees and pray to the Lord our God that He will intervene. He is our only hope but it is up to us to get on our knees and beg him to help us and to be better about obeying His laws.
This ID crap is so damned ridiculous – who amongst us ever leaves our homes without ID? We know that we are going to need it if we are going to purchase ANYTHING using a credit card, debit card or check for pmt. Do those on welfare, food stamps or whatever have to show ID, hmmmmmm? I contend that just going to the polls to vote is far more inconvenient than obtaining a picture ID. The way the liberal dems want it is for us to need ID for EVERYTHING EXCEPT TO VOTE!!!!!!!!!!! Voter fraud, voter fraud, voter fraud!!!!!!!!!! But alas, Ovomit is going to get his half-black ass stomped on Nov 6th!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eric Coyote Holder Blocks For Pres Obama In “Fast And Furious” What About The New Evidence That Has Surfaced Indicating That Not Only Obama And Holder Were Deeply Involved Early In 2009 Spending 10 Million Stimulus Dollars, Which Hillary Clinton And Her Trusted Associate At State Andrew J. Sharpiro Devised Operation F&F It Was Clinton And Sharpiro Who First Proposed F&F In Early 2009. Now Pres Obama Who Is Busted Using A Stolen SSN For 25 Years, Will Be Served Papers Under Obama Fraud. Maybe Sheriff Joe Could Make Room For All Four “Coyotes”?? God Bless America And Susan Daniels.
it is way past time for our State Governers to stand up and say enough. The Injustice dept is the most corrupt dept in the country and needs to be told to sit down and shut up. holder needs to be told to stay out of our states. We must have vorer ID`s in the polling places. Any fed that shows up at any polling place and tries to interfer needs to be arrested, removed forceably and jailed until the voting is over. The shipped back to DC in cuffs. It`s way past time to tell the injustice dept your not wanted or needed in our states.
“Holder is now “investigating” Pennsylvania’s voter ID law, on the left’s charge that it disenfranchises minorities.”
And what about the disenfranchising of everybody else’s votes by the voter fraud that goes on without such voter ID?? This is a ludicrous argument, and Holder must know it; so that shows how arrogant these executive branch people are getting these days. There MUST be elections that can be trusted. That is the only ‘procedure’ that counts.
Both sides of the political aisle need to get involved in voter reform. Or there will be the devil to pay. Time’s up on sleaze and corruption; on this matter, as on other matters. It’s time for change, all right. Real change.
