In the past two years, more than 30 states have enacted new voter ID laws and other restrictions to keep Americans from voting.
Republicans claim that purging voting rolls is necessary due to illegal voting. But there is little physical evidence to suggest that voter fraud has ever been a problem in the United States.
Case studies show that voter fraud in the U.S. is virtually non-existent, so Republican claims that it is rampant are misleading and false.
In every state studied since 2000, the incidences of voter fraud has turned out to be such a low percentage, the number of individual voter fraud cases could be counted on one hand.
“Two reporters attempted to probe the accuracy of New York’s voter rolls by comparing them with death records and with the rolls of other states. The reports led to inflated claims of widespread fraud, of the sort commonly used to support restrictive identification requirements for voters at the polls. We examined each of the allegations of fraud by individual voters -- the only sort that ID could possibly address -- to uncover the truth behind the assertions," according to the Brennan Center for Justice.
"In a review of at least four different elections, the allegations yielded only two substantiated cases of individuals knowingly casting invalid votes that counted – two voters who voted twice. Given the number of votes cast in these elections, this amounts to a rate of 0.000009%. Neither of these problems could have been resolved by requiring photo ID at the polls.”
Critics claim that Republicans are trying to stack the deck against the Democrats by targeting specific voting groups that tend to vote Democratic. The theory is that if only Republicans can vote, only Republicans can win.
Is it a coincidence that the Florida voter purge currently being attempted by Republican Gov. Rick Scott, is aimed overwhelmingly at Latinos?
“Latinos are not voting in numbers that fully reflect their potential strength, leaving Hispanic leaders frustrated and Democrats worried as they increase efforts to rally Latino support,” according to the New York Times.
There is further evidence that non-white voters are being targeted.
“In addition to being inaccurate and outdated, the list the State of Florida sent to local elections officials to trigger the re-verification requirement letters, disproportionately targets Hispanics... analysis of those singled out to prove their citizenship, 61% are Hispanic when only 14% of registered Florida voters are Hispanic."
"By contrast, only 16% of those on the state’s purge list are identified as white when they compose approximately 70% of Florida voters,” according to the Miami Herald.
Taxpayers are funding what some believe is a witch hunt for a problem that never existed in the first place – namely, voter fraud.
In a time when Republicans are preaching about fiscal responsibility, are they really doing the public justice by spending millions of dollars to purge what in fact may be just a few hundred voters, out of millions?
The more Republican governors go after non-white voting groups, the more it looks like their intentions are not honorable.

hackers could be the ones whose votes have the biggest impact.
Researchers from the Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois have developed a hack that, for about $26 and an 8th-grade science education, can remotely manipulate the electronic voting machines used by millions of voters all across the U.S.
The researchers, Salon reported, performed their proof-of-concept hack on a Diebold Accuvote TS electronic voting machine, a type of touchscreen Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) voting system that is widely used for government elections.
(Diebold's voting-machine business is now owned by the Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems, whose e-voting machines are used in about 22 states.)
In a video, Roger Johnston and Jon Warner from Argonne National Laboratory's Vulnerability Assessment Team demonstrate three different ways an attacker could tamper with, and remotely take full control, of the e-voting machine simply by attaching what they call a piece of "alien electronics" into the machine's circuit board.

Minutes of the meeting on January 11, 1996, of the New Party’s Chicago chapter read as follows:
Barack Obama, candidate for State Senate in the 13th Legislative District, gave a statement to the membership and answered questions. He signed the New Party “Candidate Contract” and requested an endorsement from the New Party. He also joined the New Party.
Consistent with this, a roster of the Chicago chapter of the New Party from early 1997 lists Obama as a member, with January 11, 1996, indicated as the date he joined...
The documents reveal that the New Party’s central aim was to move the United States steadily closer to European social democracy, a goal that Mitt Romney has also attributed to Obama.
Don't be fooled. Obama's health plan, the government's takeover of education, the eradication of God and anything pertaining to His name — all these and much more are a repeat of what happened in Europe. Look how that ended.
We are fast losing our foothold on the slippery slope of Obama's socialism
And if I can get comprehensive health insurance cheap, I don't care where it comes from.

Feel free to verify the “executive orders” at will… and these are just the major ones…
I’m sure you’ve all heard the tale of the “Frog in the Pot”… you all comfortable???
Watch Obama’s actions, not his words! By his actions he will show you where America is headed.
Across the country efforts are increasingly under way to track closely all road vehicle movements, initially using a nationwide network of roadside cameras connected to automatic number plate recognition systems. These track, record and store the details of all journeys undertaken on major roads and through city centres and the information is stored for five years In the longer term mandatory onboard vehicle telematics systems are also suggested, to facilitate road charging (see vehicle excise duty).
Enough Obama Big Governme for you
Obama has not issued 900 executive orders. He has signed slightly fewer orders than President George W. Bush during this point in his first term. " Fox News lies are repeated here. Ignorance in one thing but lies are something else. What does Bible say about this?
