It is that time again….time to elect an president and it is that time again when the voter is attempted to be pushed aside in the name of preventing voter fraud.

Then there is Texas (it’s always Texas)…..

It seems that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton will do anything to prevent Texas from flipping for Kamala Harris—including preventing eligible citizens from registering to vote.*

Paxton threatened legal action against Bexar and Harris counties if they proceed with sending out mail-in voter registration forms, which the counties have proposed doing via third-party vendors. Paxton argues that it could encourage noncitizens to register to vote.

Paxton’s office announced Wednesday that he’d filed a lawsuit against Bexar County Commissioner Court after it approved a proposal that funds the production and mailing of voter registration forms “to unregistered voters in location(s) based on targeting agreed to by the county,” according to KENS-5. Paxton claimed the program was unlawful because it “could induce ineligible people—such as felons and noncitizens—to commit a crime by attempting to register to vote.”

We cannot have those damn Democrats voting now can we?

A look into voting….I will keep this short and very simple….

Rampant voter fraud is a LIE perpetrated by Republicans….so do we need stricter voting laws?  (BTW most convicted fraudsters have been on the GOP side)

Nope. Not even close. Once again, this falls into the Lloyd Christmas category. Successful prosecutions of voter fraud cases barely amount to one one-hundredth of one percent of total votes cast in a single general election. In Ohio, for example, Secretary of State Jon Husted ballyhooed his war against fraud by nabbing a whopping 20 potential cases. 20 out of nearly six million votes cast in that state in 2012. The Bush Justice Department found that there were as few as 80 successful prosecutions of voter fraud cases out of hundreds of millions of votes cast since 2000. For this ratio of possible-fraud-to-votes-cast we’re told we need laws that make it more difficult to vote. By the way, some Republicans came right out and said it: this is all about electing Republicans.

That’s it. It’s of course foolish to think the Republicans will drop these lies and myths any time soon. But as long as various Republicans continue to repeat these transparently obvious falsehoods, they should expect that the rest of us will continue to think they’re either idiots or that they’re deliberately trying to deceive their own people — or maybe a little of both.

Voting should be easier and hardly a herculean task…..all this crap is just to make it easy for the GOP to have their way with the system.

In my state you need ID to register then when you go to vote you present registration card and photo ID twice….this has worked well for decades and yet they, the GOP, expect massive voter fraud.  It is pure manure!

When it comes to voter info do not listen or read crap on-line….go to the registrars office and get your info first hand….that is if you are not too damn lazy.

Now get out and VOTE!
