Clinton: Fraud-Free Elections Are Racist
America’s first unofficial/official Afro-Am President Bill Clinton opines that GOP efforts to restore integrity and honesty into the electoral process is, of course, a blatant form of racism. This from Politico:
“There has never been in my lifetime, since we got rid of the poll tax and all the Jim Crow burdens on voting, the determined effort to limit the franchise that we see today,” Clinton added.
…
Other states with powerful new GOP majorities have also drawn fire for their recent proposals to change voting laws.
Ohio Gov. John Kasich is expected to sign a bill that eliminates several early voting options and also eliminates a week-long period when voters could register and cast ballots at the same time. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker signed a law in May requiring voters to show identification at the polls and to have lived in their ward 28 days before the election.
And Maine Gov. Paul LePage last month approved a bill that negates a 38-year old law allowing same-day registration.
“Why is all of this going on? This is not rocket science. They are trying to make the 2012 electorate look more like the 2010 electorate than the 2008 electorate,” Clinton said.
Clinton doesn’t specifically reference NC’s push to trim early voting and require – gasp! – a photo ID to vote, both designed to close the window on voter fraud and electoral abuse, but it’s evident from his comments that he’d consider those racist as well.
What is it that Democrats fear about fair, honest and fraud-free elections? Oh, that’s right, that they’d be fair, honest, and free of fraud.
