WTF? We Have to FIX This!

"Based on our comparison of publicly available information published by the U.S. Census Bureau and the federal Election Assistance Commission, your county is failing to comply with Section 8 of the NVRA."  "Federal law requires election officials to conduct a reasonable effort to maintain voter registration lists free of dead voters, ineligible voters and voters who have moved away."

The preceding notice from the Public Interest Legal Foundation, a law firm dedicated to election integrity, was recently sent to officials in 141 counties across America.  In other words, lots of places have plenty more voters on the registration rolls than real live people.  Hmm?  Apparently that fact is of little concern to the DNC or, for that matter, either former Attorney General Eric Holder or current AG Loretta Lynch both of whom refused to do anything about the situation.  And, of course, our current short timer-in-chief has no problem with corrupted voter rolls.  In fact, if the aforementioned  had their way, we would all vote early and often via our computers beginning at age 16.  Confusion and corruption has served the Democratic party well.  Why bother with integrity when smoke and mirrors have worked their electoral magic?

As of today, there are 141 counties spanning 21 states that boast out of whack voter rolls.  Michigan has 24, Kentucky 18, Illinois 17, Indiana 11, Alabama 10, Colorado 10, Texas 9, Nebraska 7, New Mexico 5, South Dakota 5, Kansas 4, Mississippi 4, Louisiana 3, West Virginia 3, Georgia 2, Iowa 2, Montana 2, North Carolina 2, and Arizona and New York with 1 apiece.  Franklin County Illinois has the highest rate of voter registration to population imbalance at 190 percent.  Simply outrageous.

It was refreshing to vote in the Idaho primary election this week.  Even though my candidate did not win, for the first time in many years I was asked to state my name and address, show a valid picture ID and sign my name before voting.  Common sense seems to dictate that simple exercise should be in place in all localities, but it's not.  In California I was never asked for any proof of identification and could have easily signed up pets and dead relatives to vote absentee at anytime.  This, of course, goes a long way toward explaining why Jerry Brown is yet again the governor of the once Golden State and why being in the country illegally or being a convicted felon is no obstacle to voting.

Simply requiring a valid picture ID to cast a ballot is an inconvenience to NO ONE.  This basic prevention of fraud is essential.  Any citizen either too stupid or too lazy to secure this easily accessible token of identification should not be allowed to vote.  Voter suppression is a canard employed by those who will stop at nothing to prevail.  The will of the people be damned.
