   Scalia is the most prominent Republican lawmaker of the last decade. Problem is he’s on the court.

   Pesky 13th Amendment. Who put that there anyway?

   Exactly. It is strange to see the supposedly conservative judges acting as judicial activists. I do believe, Congress should have made some adjustments to the law before extending it in 2006, but they didn’t. They passed it by a unanimous vote of the Senate and by a vote of 390 to 33 in the House. Now the Court is considering whether the law is constitutional, not because anyone is questioning whether it was in 1965, but because the Court might think that Congress hasn’t noticed that “times have changed”. If anyone is going to argue that it’s the Supreme Court’s job to tell Congress when times have changed, shouldn’t that be one of them “gol-dern libs”?
   But it could happen; just look at “Citizens United”. Corporations have inalienable rights too, thanks to the legislators on the bench.

   You would have a point if there were any evidence of voter fraud using other people’s names. There isn’t. The only “problem” being addressed is too many people voting for Democrats.

   Um, how about the recent case of the poll worker who admitted to voting six times, including twice for herself, twice for her daughter and said I just wanted to make sure my voted counted…

   Hence the attempted new step of using gerrymandered districts as electoral votes. The destruction of one man/one vote is the rights way of saving America from itself. How benevolent.

   These days he’s the only Republican lawmaker. Unless you count renaming post offices.

   Liberals WANT illegals to have the right to vote? Why not just put our elections on the internet and allow every email account one vote? Now that would make things interesting.

    It should be noted that Immy once said that ALL Latinos are illegals

    Five of FL’s 67 counties are under the Voting Rights Act because of past discrimination. Before every election the feds have to approve the way the county election supervisors in those 5 counties run the election.
    Last election the feds stopped voter purges that would have cut lawful, legal voters from the roles.
    If given free reign, I bet thecrazies would take over.

    We can start our rants whenever we like. More than half of the successful voter-restriction-by-race lawsuits in the past ten years were in the 25% of the country covered by part 5 of the VRA. Anyone who wants to get rid of the VRA has another motive, and racial discrimination in America is still a problem and is expanding. We need more voting, not less.

    If I were you, I wouldn’t depend on rhynerjr to come up with a source. I’d do a search using “poll worker votes six times” and see if I could get over 25 million hits. You might find that some of them even are even credible.
