It has been reported here on FR many times over. And yeah, I would also like to see it in black and white.
Through their own crooked tactics, they may have invited the Feds to be their watchdogs.
I know Republicans aren't lily white all the time, but nobody ever calls the Dems on vote fraud, like here we have this little obscure article, doubt it ever hits the mainstream press. Things are really getting vicious.
It was eerie. They were mocking Bush for his statement about how gloomy it would be if the Dems gain majority in Congress when he said that terrorists were spreading from, it's late, can't remember. I said he didn't go far enough, talked about Europe, the bus burnings in Paris, nothing in the local papers about that, posted a prediction that one week they wouldn't bother to empty the busses. The next day I saw the article on BBC about the woman being burned, didn't realize how severely, and posted about that, terrible what happened to her, read elsewhere that she is burned on 70% of her body and was a French citizen? from Senegal? (another thread here). That one made it through the censors. Even lunatics can sometimes read the writing on the wall.
Now you have to learn English to become a naturalized citizen, and you have to be a citizen to vote, or if you are not a naturalized citizen, that means you were born here, and just how many people born in America don't know English by the time they are of voting age? I can imagine exceptional scenarios, and someone would tell me about immigrant ghettos, but really how many? Something doesn't fit about that.
Governor Vetoes Voter ID Bill ( Fast Eddie Rides again in Pa. )
Same here with my Dad's parents from Germany. Did the government accommodate them with interpretators and voting guidelines printed in German? No. Same for those who emigrated from Poland, Italy, etc.
I would like to know the rationale behind the exceptions made for legal Mexican immigrants. (Those who are here illegally should be deported.)
That taxpayers have to fund interpreters or any other special assistance at the polls is, IMO, another example of the government stealing what rightfully belongs to those who earned it...and they do it with impunity.
If the legal Mexicans want to vote in America, let them learn our language or just don't vote! If their allegiance is more to Mexico than the United States, well, that's another topic.
An immigrant is technically required to learn English to become a citizen (who can then legally vote), so it makes no sense at all.
I agree, how can you know the issues when you don't understand them in english and the contexts to which they are presented? It's just incredible. In the end, if the left wins, there will be no challenge from them but if concervatives win, I can already smell the lawsuits. I am sure they are already laying the groundwork for accusations of voter fraud. Just look what happened in Mexico a few months ago. These leftists will not rest until they're in power by whatever means neccesary.
Yeah, and I'm sure when that happens and found out, the media will look the other way. It's all abunch of horse dung.
It's a disgrace that Philly needs watchdogs to keep them honest. Unfortunately, I doubt they have the morals to be ashamed.
Voter cheats affect the ballots of every voter, whether the candidate is president, senator or rep. They all play a role in decisions which affect the whole country.
So what's the answer? Guess we just grin (or grit our teeth) and bear it. Whose country is this, anyway?
They've pulled this crap before, notably in 2000. The last I looked, George W. is still president, voted in again in '04.
I'd rather have them on the outside (with their lawsuits) than suffer their dominance of the Senate or House.
You got that right.
Photo ID and proof of eligibility to register, photo ID to vote. Pretty obvious, I think. Not too complicated either. We brave such intimidation and violation of our civil liberty for such things as renting videos or buying beer. And no one makes these complaints over traffic stops. If they do that, I won't care so much what languages they want to print the voter guides in.
You got that right. I never heard my grandparents whine about having had to learn English. Matter of fact that made my one set fluent in three languages; I'm jealous.
If their allegiance is more to another country, or religion, they need to leave, yesterday.
I agree.
There should be FBI agents stationed at every polling booth in this Town. The Democrats steal thousands of votes in Philadelphia in every election.
and the Democrat always gets 115% of the vote.
