VOTER ID LAW
Looks like the bedwetters have gotten themselves into quite an ironic pickle. The Supreme Court is deciding on a case of voter ID requirements in Indiana. By now you know the liberal arguments ... it disenfranchises the poor, the minorities, the elderly, blah blah blah.
Well it looks like someone didn't do their homework. Faye Buis-Ewing is 72 years old. She has become a "poster child" for the disenfranchised voter that will be protected under a voting system with no ID requirements. But now we've discovered one minor problem. Not only is Faye registered to vote, but she is registered in two different states. She claims two states as her primary residence. She received a homestead exemption on her property taxes ... in two different states. In other words, the leftist poster girl for their fight against voter identification laws is a criminal. What a shame.
Faye could not only vote, but she could technically vote more than the average citizen registered in only one state! She explains that she and her husband "winter in Florida and summer in Indiana." Isn't that sweet? She says that she has never voted in Florida, but she has a Florida driver's license. And when she went to vote in Indiana in November 2006 with her Florida driver's license, they, logically, did not accept it. Doesn't seem like rocket science to me! But hey, this is the average voter we are speaking of.
Now the League of Women Voters (I'm sure they are my biggest fans) say this experience is exactly the reason the law should be changed. No, ladies .... That is exactly the reason why the law should be upheld! I'll bet dollars to doughnuts that Faye is voting for Hillary Clinton. Maybe twice. (More, see link.)

This is just too good to be true. Too bad it won’t make the MSM and NYT....
Wonder if she has Florida plates on her car??? The Indiana BMW might not like the idea that she is avoiding Indiana taxes.
How can she be poor if she owns a car?
great minds think alike- I was just remembering the Baltimore kid who (with his sister) goes to a private school for $20K annual tuition each.... being used as a democrat poster child for Bush’s cruel cuts to children’s taxpayer funded healthcare programs.
How can she be poor if they have residences in two different states? And Florida is not a cheap place to live either.
Then she’d need (and already have ?) proper identification ;)
Definitely a case the United States' AG should be investigating. Are you listening, Mr. Bush???? Instead of having your lackeys going after Ramos and Compean, why not use taxpayer dollars to investigate a real crime?
But the question is ... we all know this but does SCOTUS??? Is there a friend-of-the-court brief pointing this out? Otherwise, they are like the referees before replay review. Everyone else in the world can know the actual results of the play but the refs were not allowed to take notice of the jumbotron showing over and over again that the call was wrong.
How can she be poor and afford to “winter” in Fla?
Looks like the dems screwed up again. But how would the Indiana voter ID law correct any of her violations?
Since Neal is a libertarian don’t we automatically have to do the opposite of what he says? Isn’t that how it works now?
I remember a black woman in Florida in 2000 admitting on TV (more like bragging) that she had voted twice...and I doubt any legal action was taken against her.
So she goes to the polls with a Florida ID showing a Florida address and then whines about not being allowed to vote in Indiana?
She lies about being registerd to vote in TWO states and lies again about getting it “automatically” and lies yet again by claiming BOTH states as her homestead residence. She MUST be a DimocRat.
I’ll bet she also couldn’t figure out the infamous “butterfly ballot” in Palm Beach that a room full of special ed 7 year olds had no problem with.
Our voter registration systems are antiquated. As it stands, it isn’t difficult to register in more than one state and the odds of ever being caught are practically nil.
Florida is the “least cheap” place that you could ever select. I don’t think you can buy a house....even a shack...for less than $150k. Property taxes....as a friend of mine owns a place in the panhandle...amounts to around $8k per year on a $220k house. This would be the last state I’d pick...if I were on strictly social security and nothing else.
