Thread: Latinos are wasting their political potential

All I know is there was an article after the last election where they found the hispanic group trying to get voters signed up just went through the phone book and signed up everyone who had a hispanic name. I can bet there are TONS in this state illegally voting because they are driving with phony ID's and the DMV is where you register to vote.....they found alot of fraud....but you know...votes in and they "discover" it months later and of course nothing is done. People voting for dead people....on down the line.....

That also means they can vote twice. In different precients. Is there anyone keeping track of that?

Is there anyone keeping track of that?

Here in Illinois? No....they don't do stuff like that......it's as corrupt as corrupt can be.

Can't someone bring to the house or senate floor the problem with illegal voters? This bill if it was drafted would cause as big as a rucus as the immigration reform bill would. It needs to get to the floor.

Last year the Republican controlled House did pass a voter ID law (partisan vote), but I'm not sure what ended up happening with it.

Democrats are the enemy on this! The majority of Republican politicians throughout the country would like to see a voter ID law (for good reason). Here's something you may find interesting (dated Sept. 2006):

Excerpt:

Republican state lawmakers across the country have sought election-law changes they argue would reduce fraud. Democrats and their allies say the measures are designed to suppress the votes of traditional Democratic constituencies such as blacks, the poor and seniors. Here is a sampling:

State: Arizona

Action: Proposition 200, approved by voters in 2004, requires proof of U.S. citizenship when registering and identification when casting ballots.

Result: Voting provisions are being challenged in federal court.

State: Missouri

Action: A new law requires voters to present photo ID. Voters without an ID can use a provisional ballot until 2008, when only seniors, the disabled or those with religious objections to obtaining a photo ID will be allowed to cast provisional ballots.

Result: The law is being challenged in state and federal courts.

State: Georgia

Action: Republicans have tried to require photo IDs at the polls. A 2005 law was ruled unconstitutional becaue of the difficulty and cost of obtaining an ID. A new law passed this year makes free IDs available, with some restrictions.

Result: A judge temporarily halted the law before elections in July. Litigation is pending.

State: Ohio

Action: A new rule set criminal penalties for violating voter registration policies. Critics said this placed a punitive burden on organizations that register voters.

Result: Struck down by a federal judge.

State: Florida

Action: GOP-dominated Legislature passed a law imposing steep fines on voter registration organizations that violate guidelines.

Result: A federal judge blocked enforcement.

State: Indiana

Action: A law passed last year requires most voters to present a state-issued photo ID at the polls. The law was challenged by the Democratic Party and other interest groups.

Result: A federal judge ruled in April that opponents failed to prove it was too burdensome.

State: New Mexico

Action: Last year Albuquerque voters approved an amendment to the city's election law requiring a photo ID when voting in person.

Result: Challenged by the ACLU in federal court.

State: Wisconsin

Action: The GOP-led Legislature has repeatedly approved laws requiring a photo ID to vote, but the bills have been vetoed by Democratic Gov. James Doyle.

Result: Republicans are seeking a state constitutional amendment.

This should not be a state law. It is the states responsiblilty to protect a federal vote. If they don't protect that vote they should be sued and that state should be null and void plus the delegates. Do you know not one state would be able to cast there votes if that happened.

Do you know not one state would be able to cast there votes if that happened.

Between illegal voters, voter fraud and imperfect machines....no wouldn't surprise me a bit. Sad state of affairs......
