Full title: Von Spakovsky and Phillips: Bizarre federal court ruling halts Indiana efforts to clean up voter rolls

With the 2020 presidential election less than a year away, America’s voter registration rolls are woefully out of shape. Yet well-funded liberal organizations are working to stop states from cleaning up rolls. Their latest victim is Indiana. A federal district court has temporarily halted the state’s effort to compare its voter rolls with those of other states to eliminate duplicate registrations.

A three-judge panel of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals went to extraordinary lengths to come up with excuses for why a voter might need to be registered in more than one state. For example, “someone might move to Kansas from Indiana to take a new job, and upon arrival in Kansas immediately register to vote in Kansas. But if her personal circumstances change before Election Day – she flunks a probationary period on the job, a family member becomes sick, a better opportunity arises in Indiana – the person might decide to return to her former residence in Indiana.”

But don’t worry, said Judge Diane Wood, the Clinton appointee who wrote the opinion. Those voters who are registered in more than one state “will vote in only one place, even if they have open registrations in two.” Really?

The Heritage Foundation’s election fraud database lists many cases of duplicate voting. Some are rather pedestrian, such as John Marotta, who was convicted in 2011 of casting ballots in both Arizona and Colorado. Others, like that of Wendy Rosen, are a bit more colorful. A Democratic congressional candidate in Maryland, Rosen was forced out of the 2012 race (and later pled guilty to voter fraud) after it was discovered that she had illegally voted in both Maryland and Florida in multiple elections.

She should resign her judgeship and take up writing novels with her imagination.

IGNORE and NULLIFY bizarre, unconstitutional, and illegal federal court rulings.

It is our RIGHT and DUTY to reject illegal and unjust court rulings.

Rather we should seek the removal of such judges.

Yup. And the day before they start Law Skool, they’re unemployable liberal arts majors.

Amazing what three years of indoctrination will do for you.

Let’s see.. votes magically appear after elections to tip the balance toward Democrats. The left fights to keep excess and illegal voter registrations on the books. It’s almost as if you can connect the dots... there are only two of them.

Rapin Bill appointed her.

I imagine she had to "put out" to get her seat on the Federal bench.

Help me. 11 active judges in 7th ckt. Only 2 appointed by RAT Presidents. Yet Wood is Chief Justice and probably has a big say in who is on these 3 judge panels.

Three GOP appointed judges are 82, 84, and 84 and obviously pushovers. Push them to Senior status ASAP. Does Amy Coney Barrett have 3 sisters.

But this offers a way to see the startling difference between Republicans and Democrats.

The Republican’s, right after the decision was handed down, went outside and kicked rocks. They then went to a restaurant or someone’s office to discuss the next step, appeal or throw in the towel. 50/50 either way.

The Democrat’s would have done one of two things.

First, they would have already had their appeal drafted, signed and ready to be filed. They would have had people at the next court waiting for a text message.

Second, if it were the Dem’s that wanted the voter rolls compared and purged, they would just do it. They would never ask for permission. And they would keep on doing it no matter what the judge says. And when they find one or two instances of what they were looking for, they’re present that information to the court and say....See Judge, we weren’t supposed to do it, but we did it anyway and we found what we were looking for. So you should let us do what we want.
