Appeals court strikes down key part of Texas Voter ID law
Supreme Court Allows Wisconsin to Keep Voter ID Law ".... the justices’ refusal to hear objections to the law means that Wisconsin will become the eighth state with a strict photo identification law that allows no exceptions to a government-issued ID. The others are Georgia, Kansas, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
…Oral arguments in the Texas case are scheduled for next month before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit. Supreme Court lets Wisconsin voter ID law stand,
How many of those counties are heavily Democrat?
Interesting that Franklin county is a rural county almost 100% white.
Nothing will be done about it.
Seriously, if you started to shoot all the dirty public officials and no-show hires, the ranking guy in the state would be a dog catcher out near Galena.
My instant take is that most or all of these counties are rural and white. They don’t want to spend scarce money to purge the voter rolls. These counties would tend to have honest elections. One county had 5000 population.
A lot of counties are very slow in removing people who have died or moved away. There should be a system to remove people who have registered elsewhere. If such a thing exists it does not work well. Also voter rolls should be checked against the Social Security death list.
According to the article Franklin county in Illinois leads with 190% - and surprisingly it’s an almost 100% white rural county.
Thanks. WOW! I goofed.
It is across the board.
Henderson County Illinois 148%
Lowndes county has a population of around 11,000....it’s to the southwest of Montogmery. You can figure that roughly 8,000 are over the age of eighteen. For 2012, it was roughly 7,400 people voting (Romney got 1,754 votes).
My bet is that they’ve got a dead-voter problem, and a transitory problem where people move and register in another county, but the clerk at Lowndes carries them on the register. The county clerk’s job is fairly important and typically, in Alabama, you don’t get the smartest or brightest person in the position. All you need is 300 dead folks on the register for a county of this size....to mess up the numbers.
That’s racist! Obama could never have won without his millions of dead and fictional voters.
The "election" in 2008 stolen.
The "election" in 2012 was rigged and stolen.
There won't be an "election" in 2016. Obama is emperor.
Look at that arrogant prick on the left of that photo. I despise that person (I actually wrote man but decided he is no “man”)
great post!
I grew up in Franklin county. if you wanted a govt(city, county, etc) job...you had to be a democrat....at least that was the way it was when i was there a few decades ago. Still have relatives that live there.
it has been in decline since the coal mines closed many years ago.
I live in Lowndes county. We’ve had a problem with absentee ballots for awhile. This is a very heavily black county. It always goes democrat. Still it is a great place to live.
