So, yesterday, in the Washington State House Government, Operations and Accountability (now THERE’S a laugh!) Committee, democrats vote down EVERY AMENDMENT THAT WOULD HAVE STRENGTHENED REGISTRATION AND VOTING REQUIREMENTS.
Every one.
Why?
Because, democrats get the fraud vote. They seek it. They foster it. They don’t WANT to eliminate fraud, because THEY BENEFIT from fraud. The end result? They’ll do everything they can to PROTECT voter fraud.
In the best of all worlds, the law would change to require proof of citizenship and legal ID to vote. It would phase in an invalidation of all drivers’ licenses, to be replaced with licenses only upon proof of citizenship or legal residence within this country. All current voter registrations would be cancelled on January 1, 2006, and everyone re-registering to vote would have to meet the requirement to show proof of citizenship. We would then have to show citizenship-checked licenses or other legal photo ID to be allowed to vote.
These are common-sense measures, sought by those who work to protect one of our most cherished institutions… the vote.
But democrats will spin this like a top. They’re all about taking every step possible to “liberalize” voting laws and rules, BECAUSE THAT IS PRECISELY HOW THEY PUT THEIR GOVERNER INTO OFFICE.
One day, hopefully soon, these acts of moral cowardice on the part of the fraud-seeking democrats will blow up in their political faces.
OLYMPIA — A House committee, racing to meet a deadline yesterday, passed a modified version of the Senate's extensive election-reform package over the objections of Republicans, some of whom stormed out of the meeting before the votes were complete.
Of the five bills passed, the most contentious were measures to enhance voter-registration record-keeping and an omnibus bill that standardizes election procedures. Both passed on 5-4 votes along party lines.
More than a dozen GOP amendments to the two main bills, including one that would require photo identification at the polls, were defeated by the Democratic majority on the House State Government, Operations & Accountability Committee.
Rep. Lynn Schindler, R-Spokane Valley, was upset during the final votes.
"We came into this process thinking we would really do something," she said before the vote on the omnibus bill. "I am really disappointed in what is happening. The citizens out there expected us to reform the system. I think that by what we have done today, we have made it easier for things to happen that people will have questions about for years."
