The county Boards of Elections always find virtually no
instances of fraudulent names on voter rolls. The closest they ever come is to
find absentee ballots of dead people – that is, people mailed in an absentee
ballot, later died, then had their vote counted afterward on election day. That
is not fraudulent. Election boards are already taking care of these things. It
is their job. That’s what they do.
Although the Teabaggers claim they are non-partisan and just
trying to make sure voting is fair, anyone with the basest of brain functions
know the Teabaggers are fucking lying scum-eating sacks of infected puss.
Whether or not the names get purged is almost irrelevant. They know the names
do not need to be purged; that would just be ass-gravy on their mashed shit
sandwiches that they enjoy eating every night off of a TV tray emblazoned with
a picture of an American Bald Eagle with the American flag and the Twin Towers
faded in the background as they sit in their recliners wearing their
tighty-whiteys and stained wife-beaters while watching FOX “News” after they
cash their pension checks that they consider to be ‘socialism’ for everybody
but themselves. The main goal is to needlessly preoccupy the election boards
that otherwise have an already tremendous job of making voting run smoothly.
Funny thing about their “non-partisan” purge lists. For an
example, let’s go to Cincinnati. The Ohio Voter Integrity Project claims to have
found 730,000 (Yes. Seven hundred thirty thousand.) names that are dubious and immediately need to be removed from the
rolls. The LA Times found that the listed names are of college students,
trailer park residents, homeless people and black people in counties that Obama
won in 2008. And they are focusing on the college students in particular. It is
legal for college students to use the college as their address if they live at
the college. The student uses the dorm address to register to vote. What is the
reason the Teabaggers are giving as the reason to purge college students?
“Failure to specify dorm room numbers.”
So, the targeted names are not only of statistically
Democrat-leaning voters, but of voters who actually voted for Obama four years
ago. You can’t get more focused voter suppression than that, can you?
No ass-gravy in that particular case for the Teabaggers,
though. The LA Times reports: “So far, every county election board that has
reviewed the dorm challenges found them invalid.”
They do get a couple bites of their dry shit sandwiches,
though. The elections boards are being preoccupied with this voter suppression
shit in an extremely busy voting season after all.
This blatant voter suppression appears to be legal, since
absolutely nothing is done about it (Don’t even get me fucking started on
Republican Teabaggers going state-by-state and ending Constitutionally
protected abortion rights.). But sitting down in protest of high college
tuition or outrageous CEO bonuses or union rights gets you maced, beaten and
jailed.
What the fuck.
Good day.
