And
we thought we'd won, when we got rid of Ken Blackwell. Well, not so
fast. Governor Kasich and company have come up with another plan
designed to rig the vote for the GOP in Ohio, that is in addition to the gerrymandering of congressional districts that has already taken place.
Ever
heard of the SYSTEMATIC ALIEN VERIFICATION FOR ENTITLEMENTS Program?
Neither
had I. And no, it's not a program to ensure that those chest
bursting aliens last seen in the Alien movies never get to earth.
It's
called SAVE for short, and it is a database filled with information
on immigrants, those people who come to this country from other
countries to live and work, created and kept by the Department of
Homeland Security.
What
does this have to do with us born and bred citizens?
Well
some states in their efforts to uncover and eliminate voter fraud,
have demanded access to SAVE, and it doesn't matter that SAVE was
never designed to verify voter eligibility.
Voters
in America are overwhelmingly not immigrants to this country. Voters
are born here most of the time, like 99 and 44-hundreds % of the
time.
Yet,
this is what several states, including mine, the great State of Ohio,
are intending to use SAVE for-to verify voter eligibility for the
upcoming elections in November and beyond,
Voter
ID fraud is virtually non existent in America. It is a witch hunt
conducted by the right wing extremist driven Republican party in an
effort to ensure their candidates an unfair advantage at the polls.
Recently, GOP officials are on record admitting that the sole purpose of
all the new voter ID laws as well as other new programs being
created is to rig the vote against Democrats-to keep blacks and
minorities from voting.
Translate
that, to get Romney elected President.
Voter
ID fraud is so non existent in America that statistically speaking,
you could be hit by lightning twice, before you could find a case of
voter ID fraud anywhere except in the minds of the extremists on the
right.
Now
they want to use, are even demanding to use SAVE to help root out a non
existent crime. Wouldn't that be considered harassment? Doesn't that
smack of Jim Crow discrimination?
Well,
get ready, because our stupid ass government is going to allow it.
This would be a great time to forgo politics and just say “no.”
But au contraire, it's going to happen.
As
I said before, there are 14 states looking to use SAVE and officials
have openly stated their purpose is to emulate the flawed voter roll
purge recently done in Florida, that saw legitimate voters taken off
the rolls.
The
SAVE database contains no information on American citizens born
inside the US. Records show that the vast majority, nearly 100% of
voters come from this group.
Immigrants
don't even try to vote. They may try for driver's license, but
voting...not happening.
But
you'd never know this if you listen to the cat shit crazy right wing.
More than 24 million Americans face harassment from the right if the
SAVE database is used for voter ID fraud purposes, and you can bet
that most of those who will be harassed are black or brown people,
who fit the “profile” of the right's idea of a voter fraud
criminal.
Full
disclosure here, the process did turn up 2-you heard me-2, non
citizens out of 3000 possibles in Florida who voted. It also turned
up 500 people who were challenged and slated for purging, but who are
legit voters.
They
just happen to fit the right's profile of fake voters, read that
minority democratic voting voters.
The
other States being granted access to SAVE are, Alaska, Arkansas,
Arizona, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, New Mexico, Ohio, Utah,
Colorado and Washington, in addition to Florida
Ohio
says it will use SAVE along with other tools to identify non citizen
voters. Georgia says it plans to use SAVE to verify new voters as
they register to vote.
The
GOP can't win the election based on truth. They must steal it, like
back in 2000 or change the rules like what's happening now, in order
to get their man put into the oval office.
Can
you say President Romney if we don't turn out and vote?
