voter suppression -romney style

Fixing Pennsylvania's Elections

| Anthony Kammer
Celebrating Pennsylvania’s recent passage of a restrictive piece of voter ID legislation, Pennsylvania House Majority Leader Mike Turzai (R) stated,“Voter ID, which is gonna allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania, done." This statement, shocking only for its honesty, reveals what many voting rights organizations have been saying for years: Changing the rules relating to voting is a kind of power grab, a partisan effort to change outcomes. It has been a depressing turn in our national politics that the composition of the electorate has become a tool for officials seeking to sway elections. The individual right to vote is the cornerstone of a responsive democratic system, and it is essential that those we put in office are committed to keeping that system open to all qualified voters.DEMOS NEWSLETTER

Fixing Pennsylvania's Elections

| Anthony Kammer
Celebrating Pennsylvania’s recent passage of a restrictive piece of voter ID legislation, Pennsylvania House Majority Leader Mike Turzai (R) stated,“Voter ID, which is gonna allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania, done." This statement, shocking only for its honesty, reveals what many voting rights organizations have been saying for years: Changing the rules relating to voting is a kind of power grab, a partisan effort to change outcomes. In the words of Pennsylvania State Senator Daylin Leach (D),“This was always about suppressing votes of people who vote the wrong way.”

For elected officials to change the rules of our political system in this manner is frighteningly anti-democratic. These new requirements disproportionately burden poor, elderly, and minority voters, and based on data from the Pennsylvania Department of State, as many as 9.2 percent of Pennsylvania’s registered voters are now potentially ineligible to vote in this November’s presidential elections because they lack the appropriate state-issued photo identification cards.......... AS THE REPUBLICAN HOUSE LEADER IMPLIES - IF YOU CANT BEAT OBAMA HONESTLY, BEAT HIM ANYWAY YOU CAN.IT NOT THE AMERICAN WAY BUT NO DOUBT THE REPUBLCIAN WAY!

it worked for obama what is wrong with it now?

I dont even have to watch it.Let me guess what it is MAGGOT, a couple of black guys standing in front of a voting precinct with a couple sticks. Am I right? You are seriously comparing two guys in front of a voting precinct, which by the way no one complained about,being the same as a Republican state legislator giving high-fives in passing voter regulation legislation with the sole intent of getting Romney elected! Come on Maggot, is that all you got? Im disappointed in you. Seems you are getting desperate these days defending your man.

Rommney will have a fighting chance after this is passed BECAUSE the illegal voters cannot vote for Obama like the liberal Democrat party had it figured.Just like the last election when the Black Panthers stood at the Voting polls trying to intimadate the voters.
Dont think they will get away with it this time. And neither did the Obama team that's why he granted amesty to 14 million illegals he thought they would all vote for him.

assfly your post is garbage, there is no law in any state to keep people who are legal & eligible from voting. But you go ahead, piss & moan up all you can as your devastated ego will need all the excuses it can find when your sheep gets sheared and put to pasture next election.
