Voter Fraud Is Commonplace, Voter ID Is The Cure
Ex-Dem Congressman: Voter Fraud Is Commonplace, Voter ID Is The Cure
"Voter fraud is not a figment of your imagination, says former Congressman Artur Davis (D-Alabama).
The use of absentee ballots makes massive electoral fraud possible, Davis told the Daily Caller’s Neil Munro in a startling interview. Davis’s comments came months after a Tunica County, Miss., jury convicted local NAACP official Lessadolla Sowers on 10 counts of fraudulently casting absentee ballots. Sowers received a five-year prison term."
"“There is no reason that half the vote in a community ought to be absentee ballots when the number is 0.01 percent in most communities in the United States,” he said. “How do you get 50 percent of the Democratic primary electorate being absentee in the natural course of things? You don’t get that. That comes about when there’s a strategy of cooking the books at the polls, voting people named Donald Duck and manufacturing ballots.”
Davis can’t understand why those on the left oppose voter ID laws such as the law recently enacted in his home state of Alabama.
“People who are progressives should never be afraid of more transparency and accountability,” Davis said. “I always thought that one progressive core was that we want to know more and be more transparent about politics. The progressives I know believe in more campaign disclosure in terms of who’s putting money into campaigns. They believe in more disclosure in terms of how involved lobbyists are and special interests are in the process.”
“If you believe in more transparency around connections in politics and money in politics, how can you not believe in transparency when it comes to the core of politics which is voting?"
This poor bastard is in for a rude awakening when he figures out what progressives really are.
